Its bad timing for Mrs G's Corsa

 At KAM our boys have been hard at work. While those pesky gremlins continue to perturb cars, your dedicated KAM team continue to exterminate them. The swashbuckling has been in abundance across all of our 7 depots as the cold weather begins to envelope the country. The summer has gone and the cold, dark mornings are among us.

 It is for this reason that we would recommend getting your car checked at KAM. We can carry out safety checks and will guarantee to get to the root of any problems that may besiege your car. Our talented technicians are on hand to ensure that all your motoring needs are met and we offer unbeatable prices. Don’t get caught out this winter, make sure your car is ready to brave the weather.

  This week we received a visit from Mrs G who arrived at our Sawley depot, early on Sunday morning. Our boys were just setting up for the day and before we saw Mrs G approach we heard a loud rattling noise coming closer to the garage. “What is that?” asked Benjamin Button and within seconds Mrs G arrived in her Vauxhall Corsa and an exasperated look on her face.

 

 

She parked up the noisy car and then retreated to the warm waiting room to regale her car’s woes. “Kev as you can hear my car is not doing well. It sounds like a bag of nails under there. I heard a noise the other week and thought nothing if it. Now the noise has amplified and I am worried that I may have left it too long.” Mrs G was the wife of a current KAM customer Mr G and he had told her to get her car checked last week. “My husband kept telling me but I haven’t had time. Please say you can help.” Mrs G was in trouble, the noise coming from her car was a truly awful one and so we would need to work hard to find the solution.

 

We took all of Mrs G’s details and then dispatched her off in one of our courtesy cars. We promised to keep her updated on all the car’s developments. Mrs G was happy to leave the car with the KAM team but was even happier to be going to the Long Eaton beer festival. She said: “I know you will be able to find the fault Kev. My husband swears by you. Maybe if you do a good job we can bring you and the boys some beer back to celebrate.” She joked.  Mrs G did need her car back for Monday morning and so we ensured her that the KAM team could find and fix the car before she returned from the festival.

    We then got to work and Diagnostic Dan was this week’s mystery solver. He hoisted the car up onto the ramp and then hooked it up to one of our state of the art diagnostic machines. Alongside this he also moved around some of the inner auxiliaries to see if the problem would become evident. It was not long till Dan called out the famous words “I’ve got it Kev.” It so transpired that the timing chain had become worn so it had been slamming against the engine covers, resulting in the discordant noises.

    Now here at KAM we have our own specialist engine shop and so are able to fix all faults that lie within the engine using our state of the art tools and equipment. As an engine specialist Dan undertook the repairs and thankfully Mrs G had bought her car just in time and this time the damage had not been irreparable. All that was required was a timing chain and new sprockets as well as a new water pump, which were all fitted expertly by Dan. The car was seemingly fixed but all that was required was to test it and see if the noise had been eliminated. Dan sat behind the wheel and turned the key… The car jolted back to life and the noise was gone. “We did it Kev. This car is back in the fast lane.”

   Mrs G arrived back at the garage later, she was the designated driver but Mr G was slightly worse for wear. “Thanks so much Kev, I can’t believe how quickly you fixed it and this price is just fantastic. The KAM team strikes again.” Mrs G was so pleased with our work that she booked in her car for a full service which had been well overdue. “At these prices and with such highs standards I would be silly to go anywhere else.”

Low price car batteries at KAM

Hello faithful readers this week we have been very busy as more and more of you come in and take advantage of our great prices. Our talented technicians are here to help and we want to get your car back to it’s best. Let KAM take care of your car.

     It has been a great summer for sport and it came to a dramatic close with the Paralympics. It has been great to see all the inspiring men and women take part in the games. The games have made stars of Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah, Ellie Simmonds and many others who have made the nation proud. It has been a real treat to behold all the fantastic events from these brave men and women and I for one am going to have slight Olympic withdrawal. With the summer quickly descending it will not be long till the leaves are falling and the fireworks are ascending.

   But here at KAM we would like to take a moment to warn you about a common problem that can surface after a particularly hot summer. With the soaring temperatures this past summer, this can have adverse affects on your car and especially on your battery. Here at KAM we want to keep you safe and so we would like to keep you informed on what to look out for and the potential effects if the problem persists.

    Don’t get caught out this winter with a faulty battery… Here at KAM we are here to cater to all your motoring needs and we want to ensure that you keep safe in the coming seasons.

    Many people are unaware that in fact summer is the season in which many car battery problems can start. The extreme summer weather can cause the battery life to shorten and can cause many other problems within your car.

Contrary to popular belief it is the heat and not the cold that causes major battery problems. Excessive heat and overcharging are the main reasons for the battery cutting out and this can damage the internals of the battery.

   If your car breaks down unexpectedly this can be a great inconvenience and can also be highly dangerous. With the upcoming winter and possible extreme weather conditions to ensue, having a faulty battery would make your car very unsafe to drive. Do not worry though; let KAM help you out by supplying low price batteries for all makes and models of car. We will find the right battery to suit your car and your budget and we can guarantee longevity.

   Better to be safe than sorry- KAM also provides a free battery check and so we can see where exactly the problem lies and the best and most cost efficient way to fix it. KAM are car specialists and we want to bring you high quality repairs at unbeatable prices. Our state of the art machines will help to identify the problem in no time and we can do all this swiftly and efficiently. Let Diagnostic Dan and Benjamin Button amongst others take the reins and in just a short while we will hear those infamous words. “This car is back on the fast lane.”  

   

We have a wide range of batteries to suit all makes and models. Not only this thanks to our in house battery warehouse there are no long waiting periods. We can fit the battery while you wait – no fuss. From branded to budget batteries the KAM team has all the corners covered.

Our talented technicians are experts in battery repair and will only use the most high quality parts in repairing your car. We can offer batteries at a fraction of the price of the main dealers o come down and take advantage today.

All batteries are fully charged and checked before being fitted.

   Look out for the tell tale signs of a faulty battery. They are:

• When after ignition the engine is slow to turn over.
• The headlights of your car begin to dim unexpectedly
• When the engine will not ignite and instead all you hear is a clicking noise.

These are the main symptoms and so if your car is suffering call KAM today and let us keep you safe on the road.

 You can leave your comments, questions and queries at www.twitter.com/dr_kev and our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/kamservicing. 

   Remember faithful reader, our team of dedicated and hard working staff at the branches in Sutton, Long Eaton, Bulwell, Beeston 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.

KAM keeps the costs low and the standards high for Mr H

Hello faithful readers it has been another busy week at the KAM depots. As the summer slowly descends and makes way for the autumn now is the best time to get your car checked. With the kids back at school and all those wonderful school runs ahead of you, now is the time to make sure that your car is running right. To make sure that you are kept safe this Autumn bring your car into KAM and we can carry out a number of car safety checks absolutely free.  The trusted KAM boys will not hesitate in identifying any problems and with your permission we will find you the best forms of repair at a price that suits you. 

This week there has been more excitement with the continuation of the Paralympics. It has been great to see so many brave young men and women overcome such adversity to compete at the top of their respective sports. It has been a thrill and I cannot wait to see how many Gold medals team GB can accumulate.

     This week Beeston was the site for swashbuckling and gremlin hunting as our boys were inundated with diagnostic mysteries. It was on a particularly busy morning that we received a visit from Mr H, who arrived in his rather loud Vauxhall Vectra. As he sat behind the wheel, his car approached and resonating from the car was a loud chugging noise unlike we had seen in a while. 

Mr H entered the reception after parking up and was very dismayed at the state of his car. “Kev I don’t know what happened. One day it was okay and then this light comes on suddenly it is not working…” Mr H explained that in the past week the EML (engine management light) had appeared but he had momentarily ignored it. But now the chugging noise had appeared and he needed the KAM team’s help. “Please say you can help Kev.” 

Mr H was a young man who had recently started a new job and did not have a lot of money to spend on car repairs as he explained. “Kev I heard you have the best prices and I needs the costs to stay as low as possible. I need my car for work so I am really hoping you can rub some of your KAM magic on to my car.” Mr H had come to KAM after reading about us online and now we had to show him just what the KAM team can do.”

First we took all of his details and then dispersed him off in one of our courtesy cars. We promised to keep him up to date with the car’s developments and ensured that all repairs would be done with his permission and at the lowest prices possible. With Mr H free to carry on with the rest of his day it was time for us to find that gremlin.

Diagnostic Dan was this week’s mystery solver and started by attaching the car to one of our state of the art machines.  It was not long till the machine released a small piece of paper bearing the results. Dan perused the paper and the famous word rang out across the workshop. “I’ve got it Kev.”  It so transpired that the number 4 diesel injector was faulty and was not at the correct pressure.                    At other garages they may have just replaced the injector which can incur costs of hundreds of pounds. But here at KAM we want to bring you the lowest prices and we have the skills and expertise to fix all problems. We are specially equipped with our very own diesel injector workshop and we can take on all makes and models of car. We called Mr H who was very happy to hear that we would be saving him money and told us to commence with the recommended work.

 Dan was easily able to fix the faulty diesel injector and restore it back to its previous condition. This saved Mr H hundreds of pounds but also ensured a lasting longevity. The other three injectors were then cleaned and the fourth one was fitted with military precision. With the parts refitted it was time for the moment of truth- had we eliminated the EML light? Dan got behind the wheel and turned the key in the ignition. The car roared back to light and Dan’s eyes remained on the dashboard after a few seconds a smile overcame his face. “We did it Kev. This car is back in the fast lane.” 

Mr H arrived later and was very excited to have his car back fault free. “Wow Thanks Kev, It is so refreshing to come to a garage that actually puts its customers first and you really can guarantee low prices. I’ll definitely be back.”

Mr B's hair raising Vauxhall vex

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 www.twitter.com/dr_kev and on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/kamservicing.

    As the KAM team were hard at work at our Bulwell depot preparing for a Bank holiday weekend break when we received a visit from Mr B. He parked up his Vauxhall Zafira in the forecourt and from first glance there did not appear to be any visible problems. In fact the only tell tale sign that anything was wrong was the look of desperation that overcame Mr B’s face as he entered the reception. “Kev I feel I may have been a catalyst in the appearance of a dreaded gremlin within my car. I just need an expert’s opinion and I have heard you are the best.” Mr B was a retired scientist from Nottingham and even sported similar hair to that of one Mr Albert Einstein. He was now home a lot and had used some of his free time to undertake some DIY mechanics. “Kev I recently installed a cooler into my car and I may have interfered with parts elsewhere.” Before I could assure Mr B that this would be an easily fixed problem, it appeared he was not done. He said with some hesitation “Kev I got a little too confident and used what little knowledge I possess to install in an in car entertainment system.” Mr B was happy to admit that the procedure had been successful but recently he had noticed the appearance of the ABS (anti-lock braking system) light.  “I need your help Kev.” We assured Mr B that we would have his car fixed in no time and after all the details were taken, he was dispatched in one of our courtesy cars.”

   Diagnostic Dan got to work and immediately got out his diagnostic tools to start the search for the illusive gremlin. He first did a visual test and to see if there were any visible faults that could be deduced before we would need to bust out the diagnostic machines. After some rooting around it was not long till the infamous words rang out. “I’ve got it Kev.” It so transpired that the DIY work that Mr B had undertaken on the car had unfortunately had an adverse affect on the car. It so transpired that when he had wired the new features into the car he had wired the main live feed incorrectly through the fuse box. This had burnt the wiring loom, which leads to the ABS wiring. This had caused the ABS light to appear. Dan then removed the ABS pump and saw that the wiring leading up to the ECU (Engine Control Unit) was burnt. Mr B’s work had led to some electrical problems but thankfully he had bought his car in time and so no serious damage had occurred.

 

 We called our fantastic suppliers who arrived promptly and we were able to source a reconditioned ECU. This usually costs a lot of money but we were able to get it for a fraction of the price. Dan fitted the new ECU and then reprogrammed it and it was time for the moment of truth. Dan got behind the wheel and turned the key, and after a few seconds delight covered his face. “The light is gone Kev. We did it, this car is back on the fast track.”

Mr B arrived later and was elated to have his car back. “Thanks Kev, I suppose next time I’ll leave it to the professionals.”

  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 and most Bank Holidays, 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.
