Hello faithful readers and welcome to another week of adventures from the KAM team. We have been very busy this week as you continue to heed the call and more and more of your cars are being restored to perfect health. You can leave your comments, questions and queries at our facebook page at www.facebook.com/kamservicing and our twitter page at www.twitter.com/dr_kev.
This week Heanor was the site of our engineering heroics as we took on another car gremlin. This week the boys were hard at work and we received a visit from Mr T who arrived in his Ford Mondeo with clouds of black smoke pouring from the exhaust and the engine doing a good impression of Skippy the Bush Kangaroo and jumping around inside the engine bay. After Mr. T had parked his car and arrived through the smog cloud into reception he started with “Kev. You have to help, as you can see I’m a one man smog bank, I’ve got whiplash from the cars kangarooing and I’m at my wits end. To make it worse I tried to fix it myself, I’ve had two other garages look at it and spent a fortune on it but it’s still running the same. I read that you guy’s are the ones to beat so here it is. Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to stop the smoke coming from the exhaust and to stop the engine from trying to jump out of the bonnet every time you try and accelerate”.
So after taking all of Mr. T’s contact details and giving him the Spanish inquisition into the history of the car and its problems we sent him off to relax in one of our courtesy cars to continue with his day. Looking around the workshop to see who best to undertake the task of mending the Mondeo when our very own Tasmanian Trev strolled in having just come back from parking up his latest mechanical conundrum conquest and showed no hesitation for the task at hand when he blurted out. “I’ll take it Kev” and off he disappeared to bring the Mondeo into the workshops and hook it straight up to some of our state of the art diagnostic computers. A while passed and more testing equipment started to be attached to the car when all of a sudden the famous words rang out. “I’ve got it Kev”. It appeared that there was a large split in one of the turbo hoses and that had to be found by injecting smoke into the induction system to detect the leak, but once found it was a quick call to Mr. T and a short wait for our fantastic suppliers to arrive post haste with the required part to fix the poorly car. Trev fitted it and cleaned out the exhaust as well as possible from all of the previous soot deposited in there and then the moment of truth. The car sprang into life, and after a short period the smoke cleared and the engine was fixed and back to its best again. After a lengthy road test Trev returned and confidently said “Here you are Kev. Another one fixed and back on the fast track”.
Mr T arrived later and was elated to have his car back in such great shape. “Thanks Kev, I’m glad that I came to you to fix my car. You really do put your customer’s first.”
Remember faithful reader, our team of dedicated and hard working staff at the branches in Sutton, Long Eaton, Bulwell and Belper along with our bodywork shop are open every day of the week, EXCLUDING Sunday’s, while the lads at our Sawley and Heanor workshops are at your service seven days a week, keeping your car where it belongs. ON THE ROAD.
So until next week faithful reader, drive safely and keep it shiny side up.
Dr.Kev.
