New KAM depot opens in Beeston

KAM Servicing is to add to its ever expanding business by opening a new depot in the heart of Beeston. After months of preparation and long hours spent cleaning up and installing new equipment, the latest addition to the KAM team is nearly ready. The Beeston depot will open from Tuesday May 8th.

   Over the last few weeks the team has been hard at work polishing and painting to get the new site ready for all the gremlin hunting missions to come. Like KAM’s other garages the Beeston depot will be available to take care on all your motoring needs and will be introducing some new mechanical wizards to the team The staff at the new depot is hoping that customers will recognise KAM’s fantastic reputation within the motoring industry and urge the residents of Beeston and the surrounding areas to come and test them out.
  The popular manager and newsletter favourite Dr Kev said he was happy to hear the buzz surrounding the opening. He said: “We have been successful in the motoring arena and the whole team is looking forward to meeting new customers and taking on new motoring challenges. We all know the bad reputation some garages have given us mechanics but here at KAM we want to dispel those myths and are happy to bring you a high standard of service at the lowest prices.”
  There will be some familiar faces, as Super Sunny and Fearless Frank will be leaving the successful Belper depot to take the reigns of the Beeston branch. There will be 6 new, fully trained members of staff joining the team and so this means no long waiting periods and each customer getting that personal touch sometimes lost at the bigger corporations.
   Sunny and Frank are looking forward to the adventures that will surely follow the grand opening and Frank says all new customers will be more than satisfied with the Beeston team’s work. He continued: “We are very happy to be opening in Beeston and welcoming all of our new customers. Our talented technicians are ready and waiting to take on all makes and models and will not rest till the fault is found.”
   Here at KAM we provide ourselves on being up to date on all the latest advancements in vehicle repair technology. We are very happy to say that our Beeston depot is stocked with state of the art diagnostic machines and all the tools needed to take on even the biggest diagnostic mystery. We are also offering a great price on MOTs, at £29.99 and we have new automated test lanes to take on all sizes of cars. We are also able to offer original equipment, for all cars, at a fraction of the price of other garages thanks to our long standing relationship with our fantastic suppliers. Even cars covered by a manufacturer’s warranty can be serviced in our workshops without the warranty being affected.     Here at KAM our customers are our main priority and so we have invested in new courtesy cars for our customers to take home. You will no longer need to be stranded or your day disrupted by the loss of a car. Here at KAM Beeston we have all the corners covered and you can drive away in one of our new Hyundais for the duration of the repairs.
   Super Sunny said he was very excited for the opening: “I would encourage people to come down to the depot if they are experiencing any car problems. We can’t wait to get more cars back on the fast track.”

The KAM team come to police rescue

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 received a phone call from Mr A, who was facing a day of inconvenience due to his car’s continued woes. He sounded frustrated on the other end of the phone and was complaining about the problems that had besieged his car. “Kev it’s my Peugeot 407, it’s just lifeless I go to turn the key in the ignition and… nothing. This could not have come at a worse time.” This was true as Mr A was a police sergeant and had been helping out in the aftermath of the riots. He had been involved in keeping our streets safe and now was late for a very important strategy meeting. “You have to help me Kev, I need a car. This is an emergency.” The tables had turned and the man responsible for helping others in emergencies needed the help of the KAM team to ensure that he could get on with his job. We immediately loaded up the ‘twuck wid da fwashin lights’ and it was not long till Tasmanian Trev was on the rescue mission. He bought along a courtesy car so that Mr A could go to his meeting without any more delay. All the details were taken and a short while later Trev arrived. The car was hoisted up onto the ramp and I looked around for this week’s mystery solver. “I’ll take it” came a voice from underneath the car. It was Diagnostic Dan who had already started to look around the car with his torch.
First Dan looked over the information and spotted that Mr A had called out the AA on a previous occasion and that they had been unable to fix the fault. The fault noted was a faulty crank position sensor (CPS), which had Dan puzzled. As an ex AA employee Dan knew that they would have done all they could to fix the problem and that this one would have been quite simple to fix. So what was the reason behind the continued fault? The car was plugged up to our state of the art diagnostic machines and it was not long till the location of the fault was found. As the AA had already noted it was in deed the (CPS), which had a broken pick up magnet. This looked too good to be true but true to form Dan shouted the infamous words. “I’ve got it Kev.” The suppliers arrived later with a new CPS and Dan fitted it with military precision. Then came time to start the engine and low and behold there was no purring, as the car lay lifeless once more. It was too good to be true and it so transpired that there was more left in this mystery. Dan went back to checking over the engine and was shocked to see the latest development. The new CPS we had just fitted was broken on the tip. This did not make any sense and even our mechanical wizard Dan was worried that this would be the diagnosis that eluded him. After seeing Dan’s worried expression Senator Shaun came to inform him of some details that Mr A had forgotten to mention when his car was picked up. “There was a rattling noise coming from the gear box before the car stopped working, so that maybe somewhere to start.” The gearbox was then removed and after strenuous testing and investigating by Dan, Ben and Shaun there was a sudden chorus eruption of “we’ve got it Kev.”
It so transpired that the car had occurred a lot of wear and tear to the duel mass flywheel (DMF) and this had been catching on the CPS, in turn leading to the breakage. So again the suppliers arrived with the parts and the CPS, DMF and clutch were all replaced. With all the parts fitted the boys all waited in anticipation for the keys to be turned in the ignition. As Dan turned the keys the car jolted back to life with a soft purring.
Mr A arrived later and was elated to see his car restored and bought back to life. “Wow Kev I’m usually the one helping out in emergencies but its nice to see the tables turned.”
