Mr G's Mondeo Muddle- KAM Servicing

 

This week we received a visit from Mr G who arrived at our Bulwell depot in quite a state. As he pulled up to the garage and parked outside of our large workshop, the boys readied themselves for the next mystery. He was seated in his Ford Mondeo and he looked rather distressed behind the wheel. When he eventually made his way to the reception he was wary of letting us take his car.

“Kev you won’t believe what I have been through with this car and I just want someone to fix it once and for all.” Mr G was not happy and it soon became clear why. “Kev I have had the same problem in my car for many weeks now and I just can’t seem to find anyone to fix it.” Mr G explained that his Ford Mondeo had been unable to rev beyond 2000 revs and when it reached 2000 it would go flat. “Kev I took it straight to my local garage and I haven’t stop spending or should I say wasting money ever since.” Mr G had taken his car to 4 garages and the problem was still persisting. Mr G was right to be wary of garages and now KAM was his last hope. “Kev my friend recommended you and so I am here pleading with you to find and fix the fault. I hope I can trust in the KAM team.

We assured Mr G that here at KAM we aim to help all of our customers get the best car repairs at the lowest prices. Moreover we will not rest till we get to the bottom of any and all problems that may be facing your car. “You don’t need to worry Mr G we will ensure that your car is given the best care and we promise to find the problem” said Ben peering into the car with intrigue. Mr G let go of some of his reluctance and left the car in the capable hands of our mechanics. We then let him use one of our courtesy cars so that he would not be caused any inconvenience.

It was Benjamin Button’s turn to solve this week’s mystery and it was not long till he had hoisted the car up to see where the fault may lie. He noticed from the previous sales invoices that a lot of parts within the car had already been replaced. We had to look over the parts to ensure that none of them had been fitted improperly. Thankfully the parts had been fitted correctly even if they were unnecessary. Here at KAM we only use parts that are needed and we will only charge for the work that is necessary to your car.  Ben then got to work first undertaking some visual observations to see if the fault was visible.

After two hours of testing Ben removed the exhaust system and started to test it. The results were released from our state of the art machines and it was not long till the famous words were heard ringing through the workshop. “I’ve got it Kev.” It so transpired that the exhaust was blocked and had begun to disintegrate internally. This had been the reason for the revving issues and so had the KAM team finally solved this long-standing mystery.

Ben ordered the new exhaust and it arrived promptly and he began to fit it with military style precision. The middle and rear section were replaced and then a road test was the final piece of the puzzle. Ben returned from the road test a short while later and he had a smile beaming across his face. “We did it Kev. This car is back in the fast lane.”

Mr G arrived later and his sadness was replaced with a huge smile adorning his face. “Kev I am so happy you have fixed my car and that I (finally) came to KAM. At least now I know there is a garage that I can trust. Thanks to all the boys at KAM Bulwell.”

Mr S's EML Emergency

Hello faithful readers this week as the winter chill overcomes we have been very busy tending to your broken down cars. I must warn you that extreme weather conditions can cause a multitude of problems within your car and so I must suggest that you get your car checked by the dedicated KAM team. Here at KAM we want to keep you safe and so we will happily undertake a free safety check on your car and as the checks are no obligations it is up to you whether you want the repairs undertaking. We will ensure that your car receives the attention it deserves and that all repairs are undertaken at a price that suits you.

 

The dragon slaying and heroics continue here at KAM and this week was no different. Although our mechanics had to show how dedicated they really are when we received a call long after our 7 depots had closed. It was on a Sunday night that we received a call from Mr S, who called our emergency number because he was in such a predicament. “Kev I read about your 24 hour recovery and I need your help. My car has broken down and I don’t know what to do.”

 

 

Mr S had become stranded on the M1 near Sheffield, his car had been cutting our intermittently and now the EML (engine management light) has also surfaced. We did not hesitate, we sent out our ‘twuck wid da fwashin lights’ to rescue Mr S and we dropped of a courtesy car so that he could get on with the rest of his week uninterrupted. As an added component Mr S was also one of our serving troops abroad and would be deployed later on in the week. So we would need to fix the car so that Mr S could make his way back to Portsmouth in a matter of days.  The car in question- a Seat Altea- was taken back to our Sawley depot ready for one of our mechanics to get to work urgently.

 

 

The next morning the boys arrived nice and early and it was the turn of Diagnostic Dan to take the wheel on this one. The Seat lay lifeless and it was not long till Dan had hoisted the car up onto the ramp and was already making his preliminary observations. When these observations did not show any visible faults Dan then hooked the car up to one of our state of the art diagnostic machines. After a short while the results were released from the machine and the famous words rang out. “I’ve got it Kev.” It so transpired that the induction hose pipe, which is made of rubber had a small almost undetectable hole in it. This had in turn led to an inability to build boost pressure within the car. This had been the reason for the car cutting out and the appearance of the EML light.

All that was needed was a new induction hose pipe, which arrived promptly from our fantastic suppliers and Dan fitted it with meticulous attention to detail. The engine fault codes were then cleared and the moment of truth was here. Dan sat behind the wheel and turned the key in the ignition and... The car roared back to life. “We did it Kev. This car is back in the fast lane.”

 

 

Mr S came to collect his newly restored his car and was very happy to have it ready and raring to go for his departure from Portsmouth. He also embarked on a road test and was ecstatic to have his car back in such great condition. “Kev, it drives like a new car. Thanks. The KAM team really are here for customers 24/7” It was our pleasure Mr S- here at KAM we support our troops and anything we can do to make their live easier is our pleasure.

  Remember our 24 hour emergency service is open to all customers just go to our website at www.kamservicing.com for all the details.

KAM beats London prices to save Mr M hundreds

Hello faithful readers, this week has been another hectic week at KAM as we welcome more and more of your cars into our workshops. The boys at KAM have been taking on your request for the ‘holiday checks’ I recommended last week. Remember if you are going away in your car make sure to bring your car into KAM so we can keep you and your family safe. We will check all levels, tyres and brakes and you can have a fun filled holiday with no risk of breaking down. Another thing to consider in this erratic weather is the air conditioning and we here at KAM are offering free air conditioning checks so make sure to come down and take advantage of our great prices.

   

Now not only was last week busy for the KAM team but it has also been a busy week for Nottingham and Derby with the arrival of the Olympic torch. We have had the privilege of seeing some of Nottingham and Derby’s finest proudly represent our area by brandishing the historic flame. We here at KAM were lucky enough to see the runners and we had a great time cheering everyone on and experiencing the air of patriotism. With the Jubilee and now the Olympics we have been able to celebrate a lot this year and there is hopefully more to come with Andy Murray at Wimbledon, could this be his year?

 Now back to this week’s adventure it was Friday when we received a visit from Mr M who coincidentally arrived at our Beeston depot in yet another van. Here at Beeston we have seen an influx of van drivers recently and we welcome them all as we help to get our loyal customers back on the road. If you have a van that is in need of repair bring it down to KAM and we will get you back on the road in no time.

   On this particular day Mr M arrived in his Vauxhall Vivaro van and had come quite a long way to test the KAM boy’s services. “Hello Kev I have heard nothing but great things about you boys from my parents and they said I would not be sorry.” Mr M was from London and had been having problems with his van recently. He was a self-employed electrician and was back In Nottingham for the weekend to see his parents. It was on his father’s advice that he had bought his van down so that the KAM team could help him out. “Kev I have been told that the air conditioning condenser need replacing as well as new cam belts and apparently the water pump needs changing.” This was a scenario that the KAM team are used to. When another garage says that work needs to be done it usually means that they want to extract more money from you. Here at KAM we do the correct testing and only undertake the necessary work. Mr M also added: “Kev I have been quoted over £1500 for the work and I just think even for London that is extortionate. I also need the van back for Sunday please say you can help.”

We assured Mr M that we would find and fix any faults that lay within his car and that we would do it a price that he would be happy with. We were also shocked at the estimated price as it seemed very high for the parts needed.  He was then whisked away in one of our courtesy cars and we had a deadline so we got straight to work.

Diagnostic Dan got to work and started to rigorously test the van to see where the problems lay. After a short while the infamous words rang out “I’ve got it Kev.” it was clear that the diagnosis had been correct and that we would need to replace the air conditioning condenser, replace the cam belt and the water pump would need to be changed. However we were certain that it would not cost £1500.

Dan called up our fantastic suppliers and the parts arrived promptly and Dan used his military style precision to ensure that the van was put back together properly. “We did it Kev. This car is in perfect condition, and at a fraction of the cost he’d been quoted.”

Mr M arrived later and was ecstatic to have his van back in such a short amount of time and was even happier at the price of the repairs. “Wow Kev I am so glad I decided to come to the KAM team. You are kings among men and I can’t believe your repairs were nearly half the price I was quoted. I’ll definitely be back.”   

 You can leave your comments, questions and queries at www.twitter.com/dr_kev and on our blog at www.drkev-kam.blogspot.com 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.

So until next week faithful reader, drive safely and keep it shiny side up.

KAM Updates- Beeston depot to open

Hello faithful readers i would just like to give you an update on all the latest developments at KAM. As you may or may not know, the KAM team are expanding once again and will be adding Beeston to the list of areas occupied by KAM Servicing. We have been lucky enough to acquire some prime land in the heart of Beeston and cannot wait to welcome new customers and new cars through the doors.Our new address is 122 Queens Road,East Beeston and the garage will be run by our very talented technician Superman Sunny. For now there is no official opening date but the boys are working hard to get the walls painted and the latest in diagnostic equipment installed.
I myself was down at Beeston just this past bank holiday Monday with my family. My wife Mandy and children Josh and Natasha were on hand to help with painting of the front office and I must say they were quite the decorators. The office is coming along and the place feels invigorated with a new lick of paint. It is now time to install our state of the art equipment and yours truly is over seeing all the work (as well as doing the heavy lifting).
Elsewhere the other depots are doing well in the face of the current economic climate. Our loyal customers continue to bring in their gremlin ridden cars and our dedicated mechanics relish the opportunity to take on a new mystery. So if you have any problems with your car make sure to call in at your nearest depot or go to www.kamservicng.com for all the details of our many depots.
Till next time faithful readers

Mr F's Ferrari Fiasco

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
This week we were visited by Mr F who was very annoyed at a recent wide spread problem that had hit the Long Eaton area. “Kev I can’t believe it. First my water goes and then I get this problem I really cannot deal with this today. Mr F like many others had been affected by the water shortage that had enveloped the town and many people were up in arms. “Kev I woke up this morning to a lack of water and a lack of a working car, it is just lifeless. Please say you can help.” Mr F was desperate he needed the KAM team’s help and in this time of need we were more than happy to help out. Believe it or not the KAM team at our Long Eaton and Sawley depots also suffered from the water shortage. We were unable to undertake our complimentary car washes for a short time, all water needed for topping up levels was not available and at one point we couldn’t even wash our hands. This meant that our team was famished by lunchtime but even under the most extreme cases the KAM team always keeps the main goal in mind. “I guess we can manage a few more hours without food Kev. We can’t let our loyal customers down now can we.” Said Benjamin Button getting stuck into his yet another mystery. You can always count on the KAM team to provide a high quality of service no matter the circumstance.
Now back to Mr F.
We immediately loaded up with the twuck wid da fwashin lights and Tasmanian Trev embarked on his journey to rescue Mr F. A short while later he returned to the garage with a sullen Mr F and his lifeless Ferrari F355 in tow. While Trev unloaded the car and hoisted it up onto the ramp, Mr F entered our warm KAM reception. He breathed a sigh of relief and regaled us with the woes that his car had suffered. “Kev I’m so glad that you could see me today. This water business had sent me crazy this morning but it’s nice to see someone actually trying to solve a problem and not leaving their customers in the lurch.” The Ferrari had been suffering from a ‘binding brake’ this is when the brake remains on while the car is on and prohibits any movement of the car. This is what Mr F had woken up to and now he needed our help. We assured him that the car would be fixed and that he would not suffer any more inconvenience. He was happy to hear this and was even happier to have access to one of our courtesy cars. So when all the details were given Mr F was dispatched of and we got straight to work.
Superman Sundeep was this week’s mystery solver and he got to work stripping back the brakes so that he could take a closer look. It was not long till the infamous words rang out “I’ve got it Kev.” It so transpired that the brake calipers had seized up and this had been the reason that the brakes were sticking and that there was no pressure to the brakes. Sundeep called our fantastic suppliers and they arrived promptly. Sundeep then fitted new front brakes calipers and put the brakes back together with the kind of military precision we are known for.
So all that remained was to test the car and see if the procedure we had undertaken had been successful. Sundeep went on a road test and when he returned a smile adorned his face as he shouted the infamous words. “We did it Kev. This car is back on the fast track.”
Mr F arrived later and was ecstatic to have his car back so soon. I can’t believe it; my car is as good as new. I really am pleased to see a business that puts their customers first. Thanks.”
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.
