Canaan Trust Sleep Out 2013

 

KAM are very proud sponsors of the Canaan Trust charity in Long Eaton. We were heavily involved in their fundraising last year in their successful bed push events.

The events raised a lot of money and we were very happy to be able to help out this great homeless charity. This year we are gearing up again for another big event in the Canaan Trust calendar- the Canaan Trust Big Sleep Out 2013.

It will take place on Market Place, Long Eaton on 19^th April and all sleepers are welcome. Those taking part will be the Mayor Mayor Jennifer Cull and MP Jessica Lee as well as our very own KAM Team.

Amazing Antony and Super Sara will be participating in the event from 8pm to 7am and all of KAM is getting on board to donate and sponsor as much as we can. d we hope you will join in by sponsoring them.

For those who do not know the Canaan Trust is an independent charity that provides vital help for homeless men aged 16-54. They provide a safe haven for people who have fallen on hard times and help them to rebuild their lives.

They are based in Long Eaton and help the homeless in the whole of Erewash- Nottingham and Derby.
As a company that was founded in Long Eaton here at KAM we are choose projects that we know will benefit our community. This is why we have partnered with the Canaan Trust to sponsor this year’s Sleep Out.

We want to raise awareness of the plight of the homeless and we hope you will join us. You can donate as little as £1 in the donation buckets in all of our depots. You can also go online and donate at our Just Giving page at www.justgiving.com/kamservicing

We can make a real difference and help those in our community who have lost everything.  

The Canaan Trust undertakes great work, giving each person the attention they need and help in all areas including housing and education. But they do need our help to provide these fantastic services...

Let’s all do something great this Easter and help those on our own doorstep!!

KAM will be there on the night- Will You??

Mr F's Frightening Focus- From Horwich to Holland

Hello faithful readers it has been another busy week at KAM as the winter chill begins to set its gremlins on to your cars. This winter make sure to come down to KAM so that we can keep you and your car safe. Our talented technicians can take on any faults that may besiege your car and so don’t let a fault stop all the Christmas shopping and festivities to come.

 

 

   Here at KAM we know how easy it can be to get carried away with the upcoming Christmas preparations and so we are here to help. At KAM we are now offering a FREE 10 point winter safety check including a free screen wash top up. According to the RAC you are 50% more likely to break down at home during the winter. So let the KAM team keep you safe. Don't get caught out this winter!!   

 

This week was quite the eventful week at KAM and it was at our Long Eaton depot that we received a call from Mr F. This was no ordinary call as it was on the eve of Mr F’s departure from England and he needed his car so that he could travel back to his native Holland. “You have to help me Kev, my car has broken down and I am supposed to be on a ferry tomorrow, please say you can help me.  Mr F had been in the country a few months and his car had suffered from no end of problems.  “Kev I have taken it to another garage and they replaced the crank shaft sensor and the cam sensor and now they are telling me the ECU needs to be tested and I can only imagine how expensive that is going to be.

Mr F had lost faith in the other garages after they had been unable to fix the problem and so he contacted us after reading about our exploits online. “Kev you have to help me. I have to be in Harwich tomorrow and hopefully with a car that works.

Mr F was desperate and it was a race against time to see if we could have his car fixed and fault free for the next day. We assured Mr F that we could fix any problems and that he would make it to his ferry. We dispatched Derby Road Dan to rescue Mr F and his Ford Focus and to save him time we also sent a courtesy car so he could carry on with his day.

With all the details taken the car was hoisted up onto our state of the art ramps and our crack team of mechanics got to work trying to decipher the problem. Benjamin Button, Diagnostic Dan and Tasmanian Trev were quick to start the testing of the various areas of the car. All studied the car with great intensity looking out for any visible faults. Armed with their specialist tools our A team of mechanics were quick to analyse the results it was not long till the ‘Eureka’ moment. It was Dan who was the bearer of good news “We’ve got it Kev.”

   It so transpired that the fuel pump in the petrol tank was not functioning correctly. This was brilliant news as it meant that the ECU would not need to be replaced and would save Mr F hundreds of pounds. All that was required was a new fuel pump, which arrived promptly from our fantastic suppliers. The petrol tank was drained of fuel and the new part was fitted by our hard working technicians.  It was then time for the moment of truth. Trev was seated behind the wheel and turned the key in the ignition. All the boys waited with baited breath- this would need to be a success otherwise Mr F would be left disappointed. The key was turned... and the car roared back to life. “We did it Kev.” Trev shouted with a smile.

Mr F arrived later and was very happy to have his car back and ready for his imminent departure.  “Kev I can’t believe that you have fixed it and in such a short amount of time. I have finally found a garage that I can trust and I’ll definitely be adding to your great reputation on the Good Garage Scheme.
