Shaun said: “We here at KAM have been involved in the community for over 30 years and there is no better way we would rather spend our time and money. We have known Wayne for years and we are happy to support his vision and see his increasing success.

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.

Miss K's KA conundrum

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 visit from Miss K, a new customer at KAM. She arrived at our Heanor depot and seemed quite depressed as she approached the forecourt. “As she got closer a thunderous noise could be heard and she almost seemed unable to control it. As she parked up the Ford KA she breathed a sigh of relief, happy that she had made it to the KAM offices. “Oh Kev that was a frightening journey, I have never heard it be that loud before.” Miss K was relatively young but had already suffered at the hand of rogue mechanics and was not going to be taken for a ride again. She explained her car’s recent problems “You see Kev, I heard this noise a few weeks ago, it was not as loud so I thought I’d take it to my local garage.” I had a feeling that I knew where this story was going and I was proved right as she continued. “Well Kev they saw that I was a young woman and they just wanted to make some fast money. They replaced the clutch and I got a hefty bill. But the noise continued and they weren’t interested in finding out what the true root of the problem was.” So Miss K’s problem continued, with the noise gradually getting louder and now she needed some answers. “I’ve heard and read all good things about you and the KAM team Kev and so please say you can help.” Miss K was in desperate need of the KAM team’s help and we could not let her down and leave her with the lasting image of all garages being unlawful and using untoward methods. We took all of Miss K’s details and then reassured her that we would find and fix the problem and that no unnecessary work would be undertaken. She was happy to leave the car in the KAM team’s care and she was whisked away in one of our courtesy cars.
We got straight to work and this week’s mystery was to be solved by our new mechanic Curious Craig. Craig is a new member of the expanding KAM team and comes to our company with a wealth of knowledge. He has expertise in all areas and is equipped to work on all makes and models. His specialty lies in clutches and we hope that he will be solving mechanical mysteries for many years to come. This week would be his first mystery and he was on a mission to prove himself to our veteran KAM boys.
He got straight to work and took the car on a long road test to see the true extent of the problem. He returned a while later and as he approached we again heard the awful noise resonating from the engine. The boys were covering their ears and finally the car was hoisted up onto the ramp. Within seconds Craig’s head was under the bonnet trying to find the lurking gremlins. He looked around for a few minutes and proceeded to take of the auxiliary belt (most of you will know this as the fan belt) and tested the various pulleys, such as the tensioner, water pump etc. He had a hunch and he was going to go with it. After a short time the famous words rang through the workshop “I’ve got it Kev.” It so transpired that the noise was coming from worn bearings on the alternator drive pulley. This had caused the pulley to move up and down, resulting in the horrific noises.
This was a relatively quick diagnosis and after a quick call to our fantastic suppliers, Craig got to work fitting the new parts. All that was required was a new alternator and Craig had successfully completed his first mystery at KAM.
Before we went on the road test Miss K insisted that she go along to ensure that the fault was fixed and that she was not being duped again. So she and Craig embarked on the road test and as the key was turned in the ignition everyone, including Miss K waited in anticipation. The key turned and… the car purred away with no trace of the previous noise.
“Wow Kev, I can’t believe it. You really helped me out and have definitely renewed my faith in hard working, reliable and honest garages.”
Remember faithful reader, our team of dedicated and hardworking 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.
Dr. Kev.

This week there is no swashbuckling story and our mechanical wizardry will return next week. Instead I would like to inform you loyal customers of the new opening of our Bulwell depot. After 25 years of motoring madness we have decided to open our sixth garage and expand the KAM family. The new depot is situated at the old ATS site on Highbury Road and we hope to see you there.
The new depot is a welcome addition to the ever-growing KAM team and I would like to tell you more about our new venture and all we have to offer. We will exercise the same high quality of customer service with some added help from some new mechanical wizards. Cool Hand Luke will leaving the Long Eaton depot and will instead will be head of house in Nottingham. He is looking forward to the new endeavor having already established the Long Eaton depot as a successful and popular garage amongst its loyal customers. He says, “We look forward to the new chapter in KAM’s history and hope that new customers recognize our hard work and determination to get the job done.” Alongside him will be Tinie Tempah Taylor, 16, our newest protégé and a future KAM star. He has been with KAM since his schooldays and has slowly worked his way up to trainee technician. He says, “I’m really looking forward to going to the new depot and being more hands on in which ever way I can. I have had great experiences here at KAM and feel I am learning from the best. I look forward to meeting new members of the team and helping the KAM team grow and become stronger.” No KAM newsletter is complete without the presence of Diagnostic Dan and he too will be adding his expertise to the new garage. While a full time move is not in the works Dan will be appearing should he be needed. “Well I like to think that I can help out if anybody gets a mystery they can’t solve. I’ll do my best to ensure that our 100% success rate on finding the problem goes unbeaten. Steadfast Steve will also become a regular at the Bulwell branch and over seeing the quality control will be Senator Shaun.
This depot is a large one with 6 ramps being open to use and a vast outside space for cars. As I write this all the latest in diagnostic equipment is being installed as well as an array of new tools and equipment for our eager mechanics. The last lick of paint is being applied and the waiting room with television and coffee machine is awaiting its first customer.
KAM have spent over 1 million pounds on renovating the building and now with the last finishing touches being applied we will be ready to open on September 12th 2011. The purple shutters will be lifted and inside will be your one stop shop for all your motoring needs. KAM will bring the same level of detail and precision to finding all those pesky car gremlins and out team are ready and waiting.

Mr C's Renault Resurrection

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’s cautionary tale comes courtesy of Mr C who called in to our Bulwell depot to complain about a major problem his car was experiencing. “Kev I knew I should have listened, but I just couldn’t afford it. What am I going to do now?” After Mr C had calmed he started to explain the problem and how it may have been self inflicted. “Well Kev you remember I bought my car to you last time and you did recommend me having some work done?” I remembered this very well, as Mr C had not been able to pay for the recommended work; his Renault Megane had gone untreated. “Well now my car is not starting and I need you to take a look please. I can’t go without my car for too long. This is such an inconvenience.” Mr C was both sad at his car’s declining health and angry with himself for letting his car worsen. It was time for the KAM team to step up and help one of our customers in need. So we loaded up the ‘twuck wid da fwashin lights’ and Strong Arm Steve was on his way to rescue Mr C. He also took along a courtesy car so that no more inconvenience would be caused to Mr C. We promised to keep him informed of all the car’s developments and a short while later the lifeless car arrived at the depot.
Diagnostic Dan was first to spot the new arrival and immediately took the reigns. “I’ll take it Kev.” First we checked through Mr C’s history and we saw that the last time he had been to KAM he’d had an alternator changed. That was two months ago and before that a battery had been changed. These had been necessary replacements and we also observed the work that we had suggested be undertaken. Last time he had come to KAM we had observed early signs of a possible fuel leak and we had relayed these fears to Mr C. We told him that work could be undertaken to prevent the leak but unfortunately due to the recession and difficult financial times Mr C had been unable to have the work done. But it’s never too late and we were determined to find the problem and fix it at the lowest possible cost. Dan plugged the car into our state of the art electrical diagnostic machines and after a short time the famous words rang through the garage. “I’ve got it Kev.” It so transpired that the starter motor had become faulty and that was the reason that the car would not start. After the last visit diesel had started to leak behind the gearbox and into the starter motor. This had caused damage to the starter motor and now we would need to call our fantastic suppliers to replace it. They arrived and Dan soon got to work replacing the faulty part. He then steam cleaned the engine and now came the moment of truth. As the bonnet was slammed shut and Dan assumed his position behind the steering wheel, the boys waited in anticipation. Dan slowly turned the key and after a few seconds… a rapturous raw resonated from the car as it bounced back to life. “We did it Kev.” Shouted Dan from inside the car.
Later Mr C arrived to pick up his car and was relieved to see his car bought back from the brink. “Wow Kev, you resurrected my car and here I was thinking Halloween was next week.”
It was another mystery solved by the KAM team and we would like to take this opportunity to advise our loyal customers to come and see us if any problems occur within their car. With the winter on its way it is more important than ever to get your car fit and ready for the ensuing snow.
Remember faithful reader, our team of dedicated and hard working staff at the branches in Sutton, Long Eaton, Bulwell and Belper are open ever 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.
