DIAGNOSTICS
A warning light appearing on the dashboard of your vehicle always causes concern and is often the vehicles way of telling you that something may be wrong. However, while lights give some indications about the nature of the problem, the best way to be certain is to use vehicle diagnostics equipment.
At Alltrucks, we have the latest in vehicle diagnostics technology to be able to find out what exactly is wrong with your vehicle and what we can do to fix it.
The modern computer has an Engine Control Unit or ECU, and this connects with the diagnostics tool to talk to each other and see what the problem is. The ECU uses a series of codes that the device uses to find the issue, and then our mechanics can use the information to repair or replace whatever caused the error.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
&
TYRE SERVICES
Setting the vehicles suspension and steering geometry gives you the correct handling of the vehicle and optimum tyre wear.
Benefits of wheel alignment include reduced tyre wear; improper alignment is a significant cause of premature tyre wear. Over the years, a properly aligned vehicle can add thousands of miles to tyre life.
Better Fuel Mileage
Fuel mileage increases as rolling resistance decreases. Total alignment sets all four wheel parallel which, along with proper inflation, minimizes rolling resistance.
TYRES
We supply all leading tyre brands including Pirelli, Goodyear, Michelin, Dunlop, Bridgestone, Continental, BF Goodrich tyres and many more, and also offer an extensive budget range.
​
​As your only contact with the road, tyres are essential in keeping you safe on the roads and bringing your vehicle to a stop when you need to brake and stop quickly. Worn tyres will have an adverse effect on your stopping distance, and damaged tyres could result in a blowout.

BRAKE & CLUTCH SERVICES
Two of the most important systems on any vehicle are the brake and the clutch. Problems with either of these systems can put a vehicle off the road until they are repaired, so fixing them is something to be done as quickly as possible. At Alltrucks, we offer brake and clutch repairs as well as servicing to prevent the problem from occurring in the first place.
Checking the brakes is part of most servicing, but it can be worth having them checked independently if there is any sign of wear or any hint that they aren't functioning correctly.
Signs of a brake problem include grinding noises which indicate brake pads are thinning while a sense of pulling to one side or another when you brake can indicate brakes aren't working correctly.
With the clutch, you can spot potential problems when your engine changes without you accelerating or if there is any hesitation when you do accelerate. This suggests the clutch isn't working correctly and might need servicing or replacing. Other signs can include the pedal being at a different height to normal and a change in engine power for no reason when carrying a load. Whatever the possible signs, it is worth having the clutch and brakes checked as soon as possible to avoid a serious breakdown.

BATTERY TEST
Battery failure can happen at any time of year if it's charging power is drained, and it no longer has the power necessary to turn over the starter motor. Faulty batteries are the number one reason for breakdown calls in the UK. So it is essential that you maintain a good healthy battery if you want to avoid a roadside breakdown. The increased number of modern electrical components inside vehicles such as phone charges, heated seats and heated mirrors put additional strain on the battery.
Book a free battery check today, and our technicians will check your battery's key health indicators, we'll identify whether a battery failure is imminent by comparing the test results against the manufacturer's specification. We will provide a print out of your results for you to keep.
If the test finds you need a replacement, we'll advise you of the cost of a new car battery - with no obligation to buy.
​
AIR CONDITIONING
At Alltrucks, we provide vehicle air conditioning repair and re-gassing services at affordable rates. Our fully-trained technicians ensure that all the repair work is carried out promptly for your convenience.
The air conditioning unit within a vehicle is a complicated piece of equipment, and not every garage can offer servicing on it. At Alltrucks, we can provide air conditioning servicing on all types, makes, and models of vehicles to ensure your system runs as efficiently as possible.
We can conduct air conditioning servicing as often as you require and as a standalone service or part of the general servicing of your vehicle. Air conditioning can affect the general running of the vehicle, so it is important that it is kept in top condition. When the system is working at its best it ensures you enjoy a more pleasant journey when the weather outside is at its warmest.
TIMING BELT OR CHAIN
A Cambelt or 'Timing Belt' change is one of the most important aspects of maintaining your car, if you neglect it – you could end up needing a new engine.
​
The cambelt (or timing belt) is one of your vehicle's most crucial components, keeping the main parts of the engine in sync with each other.
The cambelt ensures valves are opening and closing at the precise intervals needed for the engine to get the right mixture of fuel and air.
Your cambelt will become damaged or worn over time, and all manufacturers strongly recommend the belt is changed within a specific mileage.
A failed timing can be catastrophic for your vehicle and your wallet, so it is vital to stick to the recommended schedule for replacing your cambelt.
Contact us now if you are experiencing any problems. Common signs of a failing belt include a ticking noise from the engine, misfiring and oil leaking in front of the motor.
