Normally quick and reliable
On one occasion I had a problem with vibration when breaking 6 months after they had changed all the disks and pads
Front disks were warped
Changed immediately under warranty
No issue
Great service
I can wholeheartedly recommend them, great communication and honest accurate appraisals. I am sure the mantra of under promise and over deliver is in full action here.
Thanks!
They told me all four fuel injectors were leaking. This is highly improbable because the car would struggle to start if this was the case.
They quoted me a minimum of £315 and that the engine was subject to stripping - 4 hours labour.
However they also said that there was a high probability of the injectors sticking and that a specialist would need to be called in if that was the case. I was told he charges £150 per injector.
I brought the car to another garage, and they removed 4 screws and the plastic cover and there were the fuel injectors. A leaking fuel injector makes a distinct ticking sound which they identified in less than a minute. One fuel injector was found to be leaking and they repaired it for a fraction of the price I was quoted from Newtown Car Services. They disconnected a small 10cm L-Shaped metal fuel line and removed the injector without difficulty.Fuel injectors are a common issue which garages deal with. There is special tool which is widely available for removing them, which can be seen on You Tube.The key is to make sure the engine is good and hot and rev it up.I find it hard to believe that any gargage does not have the expertise to deal with this.
I was charged £39 by NCS just to look at the car, and I had to wait the whole day to get it back. With a 'free' winter safety check included - they failed to notice that the thermostat was faulty.
I will not be returning to Newtown Car Services.
