Professional Emissions Testing & Smog Check in Bebington

Brake fluid is hydroscopic i.e. it absorbs moisture from the air. Over time brake fluid becomes contaminated with excess water which lowers its boiling point and is not as easily compressed thus causing potential problems with brake fade. Antifreeze loses its anticorrosive properties overtime and can cause a build-up of sludge and rust if not changed on a regular basis. In extreme cases this can cause problems with overheating and the cylinder head gasket.

The air conditioning in the vehicle is just like a mini fridge. Gas circulates around and cools the air blowing into the car. Over time with the movement of the engine seals can slowly release this gas (there is only about 2lbs of gas in to start with) and the conditioning becomes less effective. We can check the level of gas in the system free of charge and advise on a top-up if necessary.

Bacteria builds up in the warm, moist ducts of the systems. We have a special cleaning agent that kills the bacteria and deodorises the system. Please call for details.

Oil molecules shear overtime making the lubrication properties of oil less protective. If you have problems selecting gears or the gear change is noisy it may well be that your gearbox oil is due for renewal. Most manufacturers have a recommended service schedule for this job.
