We can help with:

  • Air conditioning – common air conditioning faults include the refrigerant leaking, the condenser being blocked or broken, electrical issues or faulty cooling fans which you’re your car cooling correctly.
  • Brakes – from the brake warning light coming on, through to brakes feeling spongey or your car pulling to one side – our technicians can handle a wide variety of brake issues.
  • Breakdown recovery
  • Car Batteries
  • Car Servicing
  • Car Mechanical Repairs
  • Clutch replacement – a clutch is an important part of a vehicle as it connects the engine to the transmission by allowing you to disconnect engine power from the gearbox, allowing you to move the car into gear or change gears. If your car is struggling to get into gear, makes strange noises or there is a burning smell within your car then it could be a sign your clutch needs to be checked over or replaced.
  • Exhausts
  • Engine Management / Diagnostics
  • MOT’s (book online here)
  • MOT repairs
  • Shock absorbers – shock absorbers help to absorb or dampen the compression and rebound of springs and suspension from hitting bumps, dips or potholes in the road. They help to keep your tyres in contact with the road. However, worn absorbers can cause vibrations, uneven tyre wear, swerving and make your brakes more effective.
  • Tyres – tyres must be at the correct tyre pressure, with a 1.6mm tread across 3 quarters of the tread and around the circumference. They should also have no unsafe cuts, tears or bulges. We can repair or replace your tyres if any of them are unsafe.
  • Welding
  • Wheel alignment – wheels which aren’t correctly aligned can cause uneven tyre wear and your car could even pull to one side. It can also cause your steering wheel to vibrate and make driving uncomfortable.
  • All parts that we fit have a national warranty, giving you peace of mind! Also, if you find a lower price elsewhere for comparative work please get back in touch and we will do our best to match the price without infringing on quality.

Onboard diagnostic scan

As part of our vehicle repair services, we can use your vehicle’s diagnostic port to enable us to read off fault codes which are stored in your vehicles control units. From these fault codes we can further investigate possible related running faults or poor fuel consumption and report the findings back to you.

Car Servicing Oldbury

As well as offering car repairs, Kissane and Jeffries can also help you with your interim, full or major service.

A car service is usually done once a year at the same time as the MOT (it is recommended to have a full service every 12 months or ever 12,000 miles driven, whichever is sooner). You should have a major service every 24 months or every 24,000 miles, whichever is sooner. If you drive your vehicle more regularly and for long distances then it is also a good idea to get an interim service every 6,000 miles or every 6 months.

Your car vehicle’s owner handbook should detail the full-service history of the vehicle. When you buy or sell your vehicle it is important the service history is filled out so both you or any new owners know the vehicle has been properly looked after.

What are the benefits of car servicing?

Unfortunately, some people can see having their car service as unnecessary if they are having an MOT but there are plenty of reasons why you should have your car serviced regularly.

It will ensure your car is safe and help prevent malfunctions. Many people think if a car has a valid MOT it is safe to drive. However, an MOT only looks at a serious of minimum tests to make sure your car is legally safe. Meanwhile during a service an engineer will take a more in-depth look into your car, which can offer you peace of mind hat the vehicle is working correctly and help spot certain issues before they become dangerous.

It can also help keep an eye on your car’s fluids, oil and internal mechanics which will allow for driving to be smoother, prolong your cars life and fuel efficiency and save you money in the long run.

It also helps maintain your manufacturer’s warranty which may be invalidated if the car hasn’t been serviced.
