MOT TESTING

At Rhos Motors we have just opened our MOT testing station.

Once a car reaches its third anniversary, it becomes eligible for its first MOT test and then every year after that. Here at Rhos Motors, we are an approved MOT Testing Centre carrying out Class 4 MOT's on all makes of cars and light vans.

Our mechanics are VOSA trained to ensure your vehicle is tested to the required standards. Should your vehicle fail we will give you a competitive quote for carrying out the necessary work, and then retest the vehicle at no extra charge, provided it's within the allowed timescale.

BRAKES

TRUST US SAFER STOPPING STARTS HERE!

Like all components, brakes deteriorate over time. But because it happens gradually, many people don't notice the difference. As new cars continue to get more powerful, so this deterioration can become more and more dangerous.

So, please take a moment to think if you've noticed any of the following.

If you've heard a grinding noise when applying the brakes your pads could be excessively worn and needing to be replaced along with potentially damaged discs.
If you pull to one side when braking, this usually means a sticking or seized mechanical or hydraulic component.
If your pedal feels spongy there could be air in the hydraulic system due to a brake fluid leak.
If it pulsates you could have a distorted brake disc or drum.
More obviously, if your brake warning light is glowing like a Christmas tree on your dash or your handbrake is pulling up higher than it should (more than 6 to 8 clicks in modern cars) please don't ignore it.

When checking your braking system we guarantee We will check that:

The brake pedal is firmly connected to the master cylinder
The cylinder is properly topped up with the right brake fluid
The pressure created in the brake pipes and hoses is sufficient to activate the hydraulic pistons
The pistons correctly force the brake pads onto the brake discs (both of which we check for wear and tear).
So, when we tell you we've checked your brakes, you can feel reassured that we really mean it.
