Repairs Advice & FAQ
Below, we have detailed answers to some of the most common questions we receive about car repairs undertaken at our Southend-on-Sea garage.
For further advice and guidance in relation to your own servicing and repair needs as an Essex motorist, please feel free to call our friendly and professional team on 01702 612472.
We are a small, family-owned business with a strong emphasis on serving the local community – and this very much extends to car repairs for those living in and around Southend-on-Sea, Essex.
Our high level of knowhow in car repairs covers such key components as your vehicle’s brakes, batteries, windscreen, steering and suspension. However, we are equally well-known for the trusting and lasting relationships that we build with our customers, and our commitment to much more affordable prices than are often on offer from main dealers.
If you’re considering requesting repair work to your car from us rather than a main dealer, you may be concerned about the potential consequences of this for your car’s warranty.
The good news in this regard is that the European Union (EU)’s Block Exemption Regulation has long given motorists the freedom to choose exactly where to have their vehicle serviced or repaired, without having to worry about their warranty being invalidated.
Crucial to this here at Reynolds RMGMOT in Southend is our use of only main dealer parts or parts of Original Equipment (OE) standard. This policy protects your warranty, and gives you the peace of mind of knowing that when you have your car repaired by us, the parts and service will be of at least the same quality as you would be able to expect from a main dealer.
In fact, we take pride in often going beyond even the manufacturers’ recommendations when it comes to car repairs. Choosing us also allows you to avoid long dealer waiting lists and nasty additional costs; we always present quotes upfront for repair work that we propose to carry out, and will only proceed with your approval.
Have new car brake pads fitted for a great price in Southend
While we are highly regarded here at Reynolds RMGMOT for our general car servicing, you might find yourself concerned about your car’s brakes between your usual services. This may be due to classic telltale signs of a brake problem, such as a squealing or grinding noise being evident during braking, or the brakes juddering when you apply them. Or perhaps your vehicle pulls to one side or the rear wheels lock while braking? These are just some of the common issues that can arise.
Ignoring these frequent indicators of a problem could put you and your passengers at risk – so don’t hesitate to reach out to our team to request a free brake check. If it does turn out that your vehicle’s brakes will need to be replaced, we will then be able to provide a highly competitive quote for this work, before proceeding – subject to your agreement.
Brake fluid changes are another popular service of ours, playing a key role in ensuring the safety of your car’s brake components, and are competitively priced.
