KAM Servicing Long Eaton
Start "The Laser"
Over at our Long Eaton depot Dashing Darren is using his military style precision and our state of the art machines to undertake a laser wheel alignment on this KIA.
The car was bought in after it began pulling to one side, which can occur if you hit a pothole, drive against a kerb or have excessive wear on steering and suspension.
Incorrect alignment can cause the tyres to wear and can compromise the safety of your vehicle.
Here at KAM we offer wheel alignment at the lowest price so you can stay safe on the road!!

Canaan Trust Sleep Out 2013
Hello
faithful readers it has been a very busy week here at KAM and we would like to
tell everyone about the successful Canaan Trust Sleep Out that took place on 19th April 2013.
As you may know we are long time sponsors of the Canaan Trust and are always looking to help the people within our community.
The
KAM team were very happy to be a part of the event and our very own Senator
Shaun presented Canaan Trust manager Kevin Curtis with the grand total raised by
KAM- £500. Thanks to all those who so
kindly donated to this great cause. All the KAM boys, girls, families, friends
and customers gave very generously and now we can help the local homeless to
rebuild their lives.
As you may know we are long time sponsors of the Canaan Trust and are always looking to help the people within our community.
It
was a great night and all the KAM boys and girls came out to support our very
own Amazing Antony and Super Sara. They pitched up their tent alongside all the
other sleepers and braved the cold to sleep rough all night. Decked out in
their KAM Servicing onesies our team did us proud and helped to raise a lot of
money.
Mayor
Jennifer Culls and MP Jessica Lee also took part in the event held on Market
Place, Long Eaton and gave great speeches to keep everyone’s spirits high.
Many
of you may not be aware of the growing problem of homelessness but it exists
and is increasing. More and more people are finding themselves the victims of
circumstance and the Canaan Trust is there to help.
KAM
decided to back this great cause because we think we should help the people of
our community who are in desperate need of our help. It is always rewarding to
give back and we feel privileged to be part of this great cause.
The Canaan Trust needs £125,000 to run each
year and we want people to donate as much as they can so that we can help put
the problem of homelessness to bed.
The KAM team’s Rickee ‘the rockstar’ paid a
visit to the Canaan Trust headquarters in Long Eaton and we can tell you the
money is going to a great cause.
Rickee
said: “After going to the Canaan Trust and spending some time with Kevin I saw
just how great the work the Canaan Trust do is. There definitely is a stigma
attached to homelessness especially males and we just want people to see that
these people need our help not our scorn.”
Canaan
Trust manager Kev Curtis also explained why homeless men in particular were not
seen as a priority. He said: “Men are not given the same access to council
housing and so they end up on the street. Sleeping in tents and often gets
abused by members of the public. We want to help these men rebuild their lives
and we give them the skills to make a better life for themselves.”
“Thanks
to the KAM team for their continued support- they have been very generous by
providing vans and banners and generally seeing that the Sleep Out was a
success. The £500 that was donated will go a long way towards helping those in
need. Hopefully people will follow KAM’s lead and help us out.”
To
donate go to your local KAM depot where we have donation buckets at the ready
(they are getting heavy too) or go online and donate at www.justgiving.com/kamservicing
and you can pay with credit/debit car or via PayPal.
Thanks
to all those who have donated- we really appreciate it.
You can leave your comments, questions and
queries at www.twitter.com/kamservicing

Remember
faithful reader, our team of dedicated and hardworking staff at the branches in
Sutton, Long Eaton, Bulwell, Stapleford, 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. ON THE ROAD.

KAM Servicing Newsletter
Here at
KAM we are here for all your motoring needs this Spring and so if you are
having any car issues just call KAM.
Maybe your MOT is due or you’ve been ignoring a sound for a long time.
Whatever the problem big or small, the KAM team are here to help!!
Our Mots
start from just £29.99 and so why not come and take advantage of our low
prices.
With the holidays approaching we would
advise that if you are planning days out and holidays that you get your car
checked. If you haven’t got time for a full car check, ensure that you get the
engine bay levels and tyres checked. These are very important and if your
levels are running low this can have adverse effects on your car. What may seem
like a small issue can quickly escalate and become an almighty gremlin, which
will prove costly.
Listen
to the professionals and get your car checked.
Before
you embark on your travels just pop down to your nearest KAM Servicing depot
and we will happily check and top up your levels. It is always better to be
safe than sorry and we are sure our customers feel the same.
Another
holiday favourite is dusting off the motor home and taking to new plains far
and wide. Here at KAM Servicing we are Class 7 MOT testers and we can take care
of all your motorhome needs. Our state of the art MOT ramps are designed to
carry out quality repairs and allow us to find and fix any faults that may lie
within. As an independent garage here at KAM we can also offer much lower
prices than the main dealers. So bring your motorhome down to KAM and make sure
your holiday goes without a glitch.
KAM are
the largest independent garage network in the midlands and we bring you high
quality repairs at the lowest prices.
We would
like to inform all of our faithful readers of the great work of the homeless
charity The Canaan Trust. We have been long time sponsors of the Canaan Trust
and we donated as well as being involved in their many fundraisers.
This
year we were involved in their annual ‘Sleep Out’. Many have signed up for
the event which will saw volunteers sleep out on Market Square, Long Eaton on
Friday 19th April.
Our very
own Amazing Antony and Super Sara slept out as well as Benjamin Button
and we are looking for sponsors.
We hope
you will join us in sponsoring and donating to this great cause. The local 6 of
our KAM depots are stocked with buckets, which our generous customers will be
able to donate to.
As well
as this we have also created a website page for all those who can’t get down to
the depots. Just go to www.justgiving.com/kamservicing and
donate as little or as much as you can. The money raised will allow The Canaan
Trust to undertake their great work in helping to house and educate the
homeless in Erewash.
Here at
KAM we are big believers in investing within the community and so we feel
privileged to be such a big part of the community. Our family run business was
founded in Long Eaton and so with such strong ties we could not just sit back
and not act on this increasing problem.
Our boys
are out 7 days a week and have seen the problem of homelessness grown over the
years. That is why we have teamed up with Kevin Curtis from the Canaan Trust
and will be providing full use of our KAM vans.
Let’s
all help to put the problem of homelessness to bed this Easter!!

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

difference and help those in our community who have lost everything.

KAM Sawley To The Rescue
This week we
received a call from a startled Miss G who had experienced a fright while
driving along the road. “It was a large bang that just came out of nowhere Kev.
I am so scared to get back in.” Miss G was shaken by the noise and was stranded
unable to drive and I need of the KAM team’s help.
Our Sawley depot
was the site of the distress call and it was a rather busy morning for the
boys. We had mysteries being solved left, right and center. Would we be able to
help Miss G? I scored the workshops and spotted Diagnostic Dan busy, diagnostic
machine in hand. Tasmanian Trev had his head tucked under another car and it
appeared that the whole workforce was otherwise occupied with the plight of
other cars. Just as I was about to load up the truck myself a familiar voice
said. “What’s next Kev?” It was Flywheel Lee who had just finished one gremlin
hunting mission and was ready for another.
Lee immediately
loaded up the ‘twuck wid da fwashin lights’ and went upon his mission to rescue
Miss G and her Ford KA.
It was not long
till he returned with a more relaxed Miss G and the lifeless car in tow. We
welcomed Miss G with a nice hot coffee and as she explained again how the
banging noise had come out of nowhere and that she needed her car for the next
day. “I know it’s a lot to ask but I am happy to wait here while you work on
it. I just want to make sure it’s safe to drive and I only trust in the KAM
team.”
Here at KAM safety
is key and we do all we can to ensure that your car is at its best. We will do
a number of FREE checks on request if you feel unsafe in your car. Our talented
technicians will find and fix any and all faults. We guarantee high quality
repairs at the lowest prices so just give us a call.
While Miss G
occupied herself with daytime’s finest TV Lee got straight to work with his
preliminary checks.
It was not long
till the famous words rang through the workshop and even caught the ears of
Miss G who raised a smile. “I’ve got it Kev.”
It so transpired
that the frightening bang did not cause as much damage as we had feared. It was
a simple case of a snapped coil spring, which can occur over a period of time.
Speed bumps and potholes can also be the cause of snapped coil springs so be
careful when you drive. A broken coil spring can cause imbalance in the car and
this can be dangerous while you are driving so Miss G had made the right
decision to call the KAM team. Fortunately for her the damage had not been too
damaging to her car or her purse.
Lee called our fantastic suppliers who arrived
promptly with the replacement parts. A new pair of coil springs were fitted with
expert precision by Lee, as coil springs should always be replaced in pairs due
to tensions & balance of the axle and as with nearly all suspension repairs
we would need to realign the wheels. The alignment was reset using our 4 wheel
laser aligning machine and then it was time for a road test. Miss G asked to
accompany Lee so that she could see the results of the KAM team’s hard work for
herself.
They both embarked
on the road test and upon their return both he and Miss G had huge smiles
adorning their faces. “You did it guys. This car is back in the fast lane.”
Miss G said with delight.

Mr T's Major Trafic Problem
Hello faithful readers. The floods have been sweeping the
country as more of the Midlands become submerged in water. We would like to
extend our thought to all those affected and we hope the inconvenience isn't
long lasting. Here at KAM we want to help in whatever way possible and so for
anybody whose car has been affected make sure to come to KAM and let us help.
Our talented technicians are on hand to take on all those flooding frights and
so you won't have to worry about a thing. You can trust in the KAM team- come
rain or shine!!
This week it was our Heanor depot that
received a call from Mr T who was stranded after his Renault Trafic had
suffered a collapsed wheel. “Kev I have to be at work and my van is literally
my livelihood.” Mr T was not exaggerating as he was in fact a plumber and his
van housed all his tools. With the van broken down he needed help to get the fault
fixed but more importantly to get to work.
This is where KAM Servicing’s fast and
efficient recovery service would come in handy and so we loaded up the ‘twuck
wid da fwashin lights’ and Tasmanian Trev was on his way. To save Mr T time, so
that he did not have to miss out on any income we also sent along a KAM van so
that he could carry on with his day. While loading up the Renault Trafic, Trev
took all the necessary details and ensured Mr T that we would keep him updated
on the car’s developments.
It was not long till Trev returned to the
depot with the van in tow. The wheel looked rather unsightly and it was up to
the KAM team to fix the car and get it back to Mr T as soon as possible. It was
the turn of Jump Lead John as this week’s mystery solver and he got straight to
work stripping back the layers to take a closer look. It was underneath these
layers that John discovered something rather surprising. “Kev there is new
brake discs and pads. They look like they could have been fitted yesterday.”
This was rather odd and pointed to a job that had not been completed or had not
been undertaken properly. We rang Mr T and he explained: “Oh yes Kev my son
fitted those but he did tighten the wheels after.” It appeared that Master T’s
DIY mechanics had not been as successful as he had hoped and had caused some
damage to the car. But how much???
![]() |
| Tasmanian Trev with all his tools!! |
Senator Shaun was then brought in to get to
the bottom of the problem. He again stripped back the brakes to get a better
look. It was not long till the infamous
words rang out and it so transpired that the wheel bearings in the brake discs
had not been properly tightened. This had led to a domino effect on other car
parts as the load of the vehicle had caused the bearings to overheat, which had
in turn melted them to the stub axle causing the wheel to collapse. Now this
all sounds very complicated but this was not a catastrophe as it could all be
repaired by our talented mechanics.
![]() |
| It is Senator Shaun to the rescue!! |
The brakes were salvageable but it would
take a delicate and precise hand to remove the pieces of bearings that had
stuck to the stub axle. Armed with his tools and his steady hand it was not
long till the pieces were removed and the axle was in perfect condition. It was just some old school mechanics, which
has been lost in this era of computers and automated repair systems (which KAM
also like to use). The stub axle threads were also repaired so that all the
components were fully functioning. To finish we fitted new bearing and then
properly tightened the wheels so that no more problems would occur.
With our mechanics working hard the wheel
was back to new in no time and after a thorough check suddenly the whole van
came to life. It was another triumph for the KAM team. “We did it Kev. This car
is back in the fast lane” Shaun said with a smile.
Mr
T arrived later and was ecstatic to have his car back fault free. “Wow Kev.
Your boys really work hard to accommodate the customer and I could not be
happier. These prices are unbelievable.”

Mr F's Problematic Passat
Hello
faithful readers it has been another eventful week at KAM and there is lots
going on. With children in need coming up the KAM team have been getting
involved in the community to help raise those vital funds needed to help
vulnerable children. This is why we helped out for the annual Guru Nanak
sponsored walk from Nottingham to Derby. The volunteers from the Sikh temple in
Derby braved the cold weather for this great cause and we were very happy to
help. The volunteers stopped at our Long Eaton depot in Derby Road and were met
with warm drinks and refreshments to help them on their way. We would love to
know what you are doing for Children In need.
More
good news this week as KAM has officially become members of the Derbyshire
County Council Gold Card Scheme. This means that if you possess a gold card you
can now receive 15% off all your future car repairs. We want to ensure that our
prices stay low and that you get the best value for money. We are very happy to
be able to provide the discount and look forward to your next visit.
This week our Sawley depot was the site of
engineering feats and car fouls as we received a visit from a spooked Mr F. In
the spirit of Halloween it seems Mr F’s car had developed some scarily
impossible habits. “Kev it is my Volkswagen Passat it is like a ghost car. When
I take the key out the car is still inexplicably running. I have no idea what
is going on.” Mr F had previously taken his car to two other garages but they
had quoted him very costly repairs so he had come to KAM in the hope of some
reprieve. We assured Mr F that we would
not only find the problem but also fix it to a budget that was suitable to him.
Here at KAM we keep costs low and standards high.
Once
all the details were taken Mr F was despatched in one of our new state of the
art courtesy cars and we got straight to work. This week was the turn of VW
expert Dan to take the reins and he did so with due diligence. First he did some visual inspections and it
seemed this piqued his interest as he asked. “Does the engine running happen
more in the rain.” After reading over Mr F’s details it so appeared that it did
in fact occur more often in the rain.
After
hearing this Dan then removed the carpet up from the passenger side floor well
and the famous word rang out. “I’ve got it Kev.” There lying beneath the carpet was the ECU
(engine control unit) which had become submerged in water. This had led to the
electrics being shorted out and this had wreaked mayhem in the car, in this case
the car’s unexplainable running. This was a result of the water drains in the
bulk head next to the pollen filter having become blocked. Now we had to keep
Mr F’s budget in mind when undertaking the repairs and so we first unblocked
the water drains and cleaned out the ECU. First it was dried out and resealed
and the ECU was back to its best. We did not need to replace the ECU and in
fixing it we had saved Mr F hundreds of pounds.
![]() |
| Dr Kev- KAM Servicing |
Mr F returned later and was delighted to
have his car back faultless and road ready. Even better for Mr F was the fact
that he was a gold car holder and so received an extra 15% discount on his
repairs. “Thank you to you and the boys Kev. I can’t believe you fixed it so
quickly and at such low prices. At least now I know there is a garage that I
can trust.”

KAM's New Gearbox and Clutch Centre
KAM's Gearbox and Clutch Centre:
KAM’s new gearbox and clutch centre has got off to a flying start as we expand continue to get more cars back on the road.
Derby Road Dan is taking on today’s gearbox gremlins on this Honda Civic, which was bought in suffering from a plethora of problems...
But that is no problem too big or too complicated for KAM and it will be fixed in no time!!
Our new gearbox and clutch centre is located in the heart of Long Eaton and has allowed us to undertake larger vehicle repair jobs, leaving our workshops free for more low price MOTs and Services.
Remember our MOTs are just £29.99 and you can get a FREE MOT with a full service!!
KAM are here to save you time and money!!
