Nine months ago I gave up 15 years of Honda ownership and bought a 2010 SEAT Ibiza. This was now due for its 80K service so I was looking for a garage that would do a good job a bit cheaper than SEAT's authorised service stations. I was given a link to WhoCanFixMyCar and used this to find garages in my area. Even though they are not that local to me, I chose ACS "in the dark" as they had an impressive number of good reviews, particularly an enthusiastic one in March by another SEAT owner, Maria; I was not disappointed. My car was booked for full service and MOT and Patrick was very prompt with messages and texts (even up to midnight) about this and subsequently the needed extra work to be done (replace brakes and tyres) - which was not at all unexpected in view of previous MOT advisories - and also the dreaded timing chain replacement as this had become very noisy. He was very helpful with guidance on what to be done now and what could be left until a bit later. However, as my car was with him for several days I did feel that later communications were somewhat infrequent, leaving me uncertain as to when I would get my car back. (I'd deduct a 1/2 point for this). This niggle apart, ACS were not the cheapest, but were reasonably priced (less than SEAT's prices) and gave me a feeling of confidence that the work would be done "to bring the car back to where it should be" to use Patrick's words. They collected and returned the car for me, and now that I have had the opportunity to drive it for about 200 miles, it feels good! I hadn't realised just how noisy the worn timing chain had been; the brakes (although I am still bedding them in) are now smooth and powerful, and the new tyres (Patrick's choice) seem much quieter than my old ones. It all feels like a new car. I'll be using ACS for again for further jobs - there are still some of those advisories to be completed!
Second time I've used Automotive Components Specialists and yet again they were great. Quote was for an MOT and service and all I was charged was the quoted price. They had every chance to add a few 'extras' in there to bump up the price but they didn't, both times I've used them they've been utterly fair. Someone picked up my car in the morning and it was delivered back with everything done that evening. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Great
Excellent service they were welcoming and nothing seemed a problem. I was quoted £350 for a clutch replacement but they checked the car first and only needed filters replaced so they did a full service also. Great lads, great service thank you I will be using you again.
Fast, friendly , professional would use them again
Great service and job done promptly and on time. Thanks.
Brilliant price and service. Clutch replaced in one day

Excellent service .. helpful polite staff ..knowledgeable and reliable ,would highly recommend
Great quote from Vehicle Solutions. I hadn't used them before so was automatically a bit wary, but after speaking to them and taking my car to be looked I was reassured. Excellent service, price and a very fast turnaround time. Will definitely use again.

If your car is suffering from axle problems and you need a repair, you have come to the prefect place! Whether you need a new CV joint fitted, CV shaft repaired, front axle repair or rear axle repair, we can help!
The car axles on your vehicle connect and distribute power to the form and rear wheels of the car from the engine. Obviously, if something is wrong with your car axles, there is going to be an issue. The axles are moving parts which rotate when the car is in motion which means they need to be in checked during a service to ensure they are fully operational.
If an axle gets bent, which can happen when a car suffers from an impact, it will cause the car to jostle and vibrate. If this happens, the problem will get worse as the car moves faster.
The driveshaft is a prat that rapidly spins and transfers engine power to the rear axles and wheels in rear-wheel drive vehicles and will also cause shaking or vibrating if it is bent.
Worn-out constant velocity (CV) joints fall under the same category. If the "boots" -- those rubber, accordion-like coverings around the ends of the drive axles -- are intact, clamps are secure, and no lubricant is seeping out, chances are they're not the problem. But if the boots are torn, that means dirt and dust and road filth is getting in and damaging the joints. For front-wheel drive cars, toasted CV joints mean you'll be buying new drive axles.
CV joints act like the joints in a body, but a little more complex. Their primary function is to connect the axles to the front wheels of a car.
All front-wheel drive cars are fitted with constant velocity joints or CV joints on both ends of the drive shafts or half shafts.
The CV joints in a car are critical for transferring the torque from the transmission at a stable speed while also handling the up and down motion of the car suspension.
CV joints are highly robust and it would not be uncommon to see a car run for over 300,000 miles without a problem. The most likely reason for one to cause problems would be an impact cracking the part and causing grease to leak out.
The CV joint is cased inside a protective boot which retains the grease which allows the joint to rotate smoothly and without friction, however, if the protective boot is damaged and a crack opens up, the grease is likely to leak out.
This will inevitably cause problems as moisture and dirt can get at the CV joint and wear the part down.
If you ever spot dark grease gathering on the inside of your car wheel rim, there is likely to be a leak in the CV joint. If this is the case, you need to have to problem inspected as soon as possible. If the crack in the protective boot has happened relatively recently, the CV joint may not be too badly damaged and a reasonable repair can be made. However, if you decide to ignore the issue, the CV joint will wear out and fail, making the cost of repair much higher.
You will be able to tell if the CV joint is in trouble if you hear a clicking or popping noise when you make a turn while driving.
The cost of a CV joint repair will depend on the severity of the damage, like almost every type of car problem. If you need to replace the CV joint, the part itself it is not too expensive, however, because the work to remove it is so intensive, the cost of labour will most likely represent the largest percentage of the final bill.
