At
KAM our boys have been hard at work. While those pesky
gremlins continue to perturb cars, your dedicated KAM team continue to
exterminate them. The swashbuckling has been in abundance across all of our 7
depots as the cold weather begins to envelope the country. The summer has gone
and the cold, dark mornings are among us.
It is for this reason that we would
recommend getting your car checked at KAM. We can carry out safety checks and
will guarantee to get to the root of any problems that may besiege your car.
Our talented technicians are on hand to ensure that all your motoring needs are
met and we offer unbeatable prices. Don’t get caught out this winter, make sure
your car is ready to brave the weather.
This week we
received a visit from Mrs G who arrived at our
Sawley depot, early on Sunday
morning. Our boys were just setting up for the day and before we saw Mrs G
approach we heard a loud rattling noise coming closer to the garage. “What is
that?” asked Benjamin Button and within seconds Mrs G arrived in her Vauxhall
Corsa and an exasperated look on her face.
She parked up the noisy car and then
retreated to the warm waiting room to regale her car’s woes. “Kev as you can
hear my car is not doing well. It sounds like a bag of nails under there. I heard
a noise the other week and thought nothing if it. Now the noise has amplified
and I am worried that I may have left it too long.” Mrs G was the wife of a
current KAM customer Mr G and he had told her to get her car checked last week.
“My husband kept telling me but I haven’t had time. Please say you can help.”
Mrs G was in trouble, the noise coming from her car was a truly awful one and
so we would need to work hard to find the solution.
We took all of Mrs
G’s details and then dispatched her off in one of our courtesy cars. We
promised to keep her updated on all the car’s developments. Mrs G was happy to
leave the car with the KAM team but was even happier to be going to the Long
Eaton beer festival. She said: “I know you will be able to find the fault Kev.
My husband swears by you. Maybe if you do a good job we can bring you and the
boys some beer back to celebrate.” She joked.
Mrs G did need her car back for Monday morning and so we ensured her
that the KAM team could find and fix the car before she returned from the
festival.
We then got to
work and Diagnostic Dan was this week’s mystery solver. He hoisted the car up
onto the ramp and then hooked it up to one of our state of the art diagnostic
machines. Alongside this he also moved around some of the inner auxiliaries to
see if the problem would become evident. It was not long till Dan called out
the famous words “I’ve got it Kev.” It so transpired that the timing chain had
become worn so it had been slamming against the engine covers, resulting in the
discordant noises.
Now here at KAM we
have our own specialist engine shop and so are able to fix all faults that lie
within the engine using our state of the art tools and equipment. As an engine
specialist Dan undertook the repairs and thankfully Mrs G had bought her car
just in time and this time the damage had not been irreparable. All that was
required was a timing chain and new sprockets as well as a new water pump,
which were all fitted expertly by Dan. The car was seemingly fixed but all that
was required was to test it and see if the noise had been eliminated. Dan sat
behind the wheel and turned the key… The car jolted back to life and the noise
was gone. “We did it Kev. This car is back in the fast lane.”

Mrs G arrived back
at the garage later, she was the designated driver but Mr G was slightly worse
for wear. “Thanks so much Kev, I can’t believe how quickly you fixed it and
this price is just fantastic. The KAM team strikes again.” Mrs G was so pleased
with our work that she booked in her car for a full service which had been well
overdue. “At these prices and with such highs standards I would be silly to go
anywhere else.”
