Our answers
An MOT test generally takes 45-60 minutes to complete. Some Eurorepar Car Service Centres offer waiting appointments; if you plan to wait with us while we carry out the MOT test, just let us know. We’ll do our best to keep you updated with the progress of your vehicle.
If the battery warning light is showing on your dashboard, it could be that the battery is failing to charge. It’s possible that the alternator isn’t working correctly or the battery itself may need changing.
In either case, it’s important to have your battery checked by one of our technicians. If the battery fails completely, you won’t be able to start your car.
The lifetime of the timing belt depends on the make and model of your vehicle, as well as your driving habits. Every car manufacturer will recommend a different age and mileage to replace the timing belt. As a very general rule, you can expect to change the timing belt every 5 years at the latest. If you are a high mileage driver, you may find your timing belt needs to be replaced betweek 70,000-100,000 miles, which you might reach quicker.
Any damage to the timing belt could of course mean that you need to replace it sooner.
In any case, you should check your maintenance or handbook for the recommended replacement interval for your vehicle. If you’re not sure, come in and see us.
Yes. When you book your car in for a service at a Eurorepar Car Service Centre, just let us know that your car is still under warranty. We’ll make sure to carry out a service in line with the manufacturer’s recommendations. As long as your vehicle is serviced in line with these recommendations, you are free to choose the garage to carry out the service, without putting your warranty at risk.
Your car’s engine is a complex piece of machinery containing a number of moving parts. Most of these components are metal, some of which need to rub against each other. For example, pistons move up and down inside cylinders, rubbing against the interior wall.
Engine oil lubricates this process, making it more ‘slippery’. Despite this, friction still occurs, creating microparticles of metal and dirt, which are carried away by the oil.
During this lubrication and cleaning process, oil is slowly burned off. Over time this means your oil level drops and needs to be replaced or topped up.
