We provide a repairs and maintenance service to help keep you and your car, van or commercial vehicle in perfect running order
Fast, effective and efficient repair and maintenance
General car repairs include regular servicing such as replacing brake pads or more infrequent repairs such as having an exhaust pipe fitted. With general car repairs it is important to know that you should get them put right as soon as possible. Delaying repair work can cause further damage, not getting something fixed can be unsafe and illegal.
A badly maintained car is unsafe, inefficient, and expensive to run,which is why we offer a range of vehicle maintenance options to keep your car safe and reliable.
If you are not one of our existing happy customers now is the chance to give us a try and see why they keep coming back year-in-year-out.

Wheel Alignment
The correct alignment is crucial for reducing excessive tyre wear and lowering fuel and running costs. Wheel Tracking is an important setting generally made to the front wheels of your car. If your Tracking is out of adjustment this would result in premature tyre wear. Tracking is a very fine modification and can be knocked out of adjustment by simply hitting potholes or kerbs.
Without proper alignment and when pointing in different directions, even a little, wheels fight one another and will lead to unnecessary tread wear. Your car or vehicle is considered to be properly aligned when all suspension and steering components are sound and when the tyre wheel assemblies are running straight and true.
Here at Dalziel’s we have state of the art Laser alignment equipment to check and adjust your tracking. The service generally takes around an hour to do.
Getting your car serviced regularly is the first step to better alignment, longer tyre life and lower petrol costs.

Other repairs and services
Fit new tyres: Arguably the most important safety & performance components on your car. We can supply and fit quality tyres to suit your vehicle and driving conditions. From budget tyres to the well-known brands we can supply from a huge range.
It is important to keep your tyres well maintained and with plenty of tread. Bald tyres will let you down in a dangerous situation, risking serious injury or death for drivers and passengers at the scene. A legal tyre must be above 1.6mm in depth, in a continuous band over three-quarters of the tyre’s width. Check your tyres regularly and make sure any external damage is thoroughly checked by a tyre specialist, to prevent sudden failure. We are happy to offer free checks on your tyres. Call us for a quote or pop in for a free tyre check.
Bulbs & Wipers: It’s important to see and be seen. We can supply and fit all wiper blades or light bulbs to any vehicle. We can also carry out repairs to all lighting and wiper systems.

We are here to help
Clutches: Our mechanics can help if your clutch feels unusual or if you’re hearing noises when changing gears. Our fully qualified mechanics will conduct a comprehensive check of your clutch system to put your mind at rest. Depending on the make and model of the car most clutches can be ordered in the same or next day
Timing Belts: The timing belt (AKA .the cam belt) is responsible for turning the camshaft at the right speed in relation to the crankshaft and ensures that valves in the engine cylinders open at the correct time. It is essential to replace timing belts at required intervals, because if the belt snaps whilst in motion it can result in serious and irreparable damage being done to the engine. Information as to when to change your timing belt can be found in your service manual.
Exhausts: We offer a variety of services for your exhaust, whether it is replacing a bracket, welding small holes or replacement of full sections and catalytic converters.
Brakes: Are a vital part of the smooth running of your vehicle. If your brakes are squeaking, binding or whirring we can check them over for you. If required we can clean them up and grease or change brake discs, pads, calipers and hand brake cables. Get them checked regularly.
Batteries: We can supply and fit batteries for most makes and models of vehicles.
Suspension: Suspension components, including springs, shock absorbers (or struts on some vehicles), anti-roll bars, control arms and other parts, take constant daily pounding from pot-holes, weather, dirt and grime. Under these conditions, any suspension component can be damaged or worn out from years of abuse, resulting in a number of symptoms and/or noises that should be an indicator to get your car to the garage.
Welding: We offer a topclass welding service.
