KAM's Annual Holiday Check

Hello faithful readers it has been another week of gremlin busting here at KAM as our talented team works hard to get your cars back on the road. We have seen many people coming in recently complaining of faulty air conditioning. Thanks to the recent surge in good weather more and more of you have been relying on your trusted air conditioning to keep you cool. But after a winter of being unused the air conditioning can sometimes have the opposite effect. It can become faulty and bacteria can build up resulting in a rather unpleasant smell. 

If you are experiencing similar problems with your air conditioning make sure to bring it down to KAM where we can undertake a free test to determine the problem. It may just be something minor but you must not hesitate as the problems can worsen. The test is free and can end up saving you money in the long run. The test is no obligations and so you will not be left with any hidden or added charges and we will not commence with work until you give the go ahead. For all your air conditioning needs come down to KAM and let us keep you cool this summer.

   I would also like to impart some more advice for all car owners for this upcoming summer. With Britons shunning overseas beaches to stay home and enjoy our fine shores it would seem that this would be the perfect time to get your car checked. However shockingly according to the Good Garage Scheme, 58% of holidaymakers will not have their car checked before departing on long road trips. Now if you were to breakdown on the way to your holiday destination this could prove very costly and dangerous. So to avoid having your holiday ruined let KAM check your car over to ensure that it is road ready.

Here at KAM we will undertake the most comprehensive tests to ensure that all gremlins are found and that you and your car are kept safe. We will check the tyres to ensure that the pressure and tread are within the correct parameters. One of our talented mechanics will happily top up all oil and fluid that is running low. This can be very important and prevents the engine from overheating. If the car’s wipers or washers need replacing we will call up our fantastic suppliers and get them at a fraction of the price so you save money. The brakes are the most important components to your safety and we implore you to look out for excessive noises and any changes in the quality of drive. If so the KAM team can check the discs and pads so that you are not putting your life in danger. We will finish this ‘holiday check’ by ensuring that the air conditioning is in good working order and you will be free to take to the road- worry free.

   Now back to this week, there was disappointment in Football with the England team being knocked out of Euro 2012.  With the wave of patriotic pride sweeping the nation it almost seemed a possibility that we could get through to the semi finals. But alas it was not to be and instead we must look forward to bigger and better things. With football out, it is tennis in and it is that time of year when the whole country must again pin all their hopes on Andy Murray.  With expectation weighing heavily, Andy Murray will again try to get his first grand slam and we shall wait with baited breath. Can he finally break through? Will we have our first British winner in 76 years? Only time will tell whether Murray can take that giant leap but I for one am looking forward to the next two weeks of exhilarating tennis.  I hope everyone has got their strawberries and cream ready.

It is also an exciting week for Nottingham as the Olympic torch will makes it way around Nottingham on Thursday and Friday. It will be great to see and we are especially happy, as the torch route will be passing our very own KAM depot on Queens Road, Beeston. Our boys will be cheering on those lucky torchbearers and we hope everyone has a great time. But remember it is these types of occasions you don’t want to miss and so make sure your car is in good condition before you embark into busy Nottingham. It is better to be safe than sorry and so if your car is suffering from any problems make sure to bring it down to your nearest KAM depot.
