MOTs
An MOT (Ministry of Transport) service is a mandatory annual inspection that all vehicles in the UK must undergo to ensure their roadworthiness and compliance with safety and environmental standards. Various components, including brakes, lights, tyres, fuel systems and other essential parts are inspected to ensure that the vehicle is safe to drive on the UK roads. Any problems found during the MOT must be rectified before the vehicle can legally be driven again. MOTs are Class 4 and cost £49.99 with free text reminder included as standard.
Servicing
During a service, our skilled technicians inspect and fix any problems with your car’s engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, tyres, and other components. Our garage has Star Diagnosis (Mercedes-Benz), ODIS (VAG) and ISTA (BMW) main dealer diagnosis machines meaning we are able to carry out the same levels of service you get at the dealer but without the hefty price tags. We are also authorised to update your digital online service history record for VW, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
Brakes
Here are some indications that you need a brake service: when applying the brake, the car pulls to one side, grinding or squeaking noises, vibrations in the brake pedal, spongy or soft brake pedal or burning smells. If your vehicle is displaying any of these signs, it is vital that you book it in for a service as soon as possible. Driving with faulty brakes is a danger for both you and other road users.
Clutches
If you notice any of the following issues, it is likely due to a worn out clutch: you struggle to change gear, your car won’t engage gear, the clutch makes a grinding or squeaking noise, there is a smell of burning from the clutch, your biting point has become higher than normal. Our skilled team can offer you clutch replacements from our Stockport based garage. Why not book your appointment today?
Gearbox Repairs
Our highly skilled mechanics have years of experience when it comes to automatic, semi-automatic and manual gearbox repairs. Rest assured that no matter what type of gearbox you have, we will have you up and running on the road again in no time. Slipping gears, squeaking or grinding noises when changing gear and difficult shifting gears are all signs that you should get your gearbox looked at by a professional.
Electrical Problems
Vehicle electrical systems can be notoriously complex and difficult to diagnose without the correct equipment. Here at Mastertech, our technicians have access to the same On Board Diagnostic (OBD) machines that the main dealers have, allowing us to take thousands of readings from your car’s sensors and find out what the issues are. We have Star Diagnosis (Mercedes-Benz), ODIS (VAG) and ISTA (BMW) machines, meaning we are able to provide you with the same level of service that the main dealers do, but without the hefty price tag.
DPF & AdBlue Issues
Diesel cars manufactured after 2009 will have a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) fitted to the exhaust. These filters can easily become clogged, especially if you perform lots of short journeys as the exhaust will not be a high enough temperature to burn excess soot off. If your DPF warning light is on then your filter is going to need to be thoroughly cleaned out or replaced altogether.
Cambelts & Timing Chains
Most modern engines are fitted with a cambelt or timing chain. These have to be changed in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. Failure of this component can result in serious damage to your engine. Our Stockport garage has specialist alignment and measuring tools that allow us to replace any timing belt quickly and efficiently. If you are unsure when your cambelt was last changed, we highly recommend you get in touch so we can see if it needs replacing.
