Brakes
Regular truck repair and maintenance are essential for HGV safety and longevity. This includes replacing brake pads every 25,000 – 65,000 miles and rotors every 30,000 – 70,000 miles. Additionally, annual brake testing with a roller brake tester is recommended, especially during the MOT.
Batteries
HGV battery life typically spans 3-4 years, but if you encounter performance hiccups such as sluggish engine starts, dim headlights, or erratic electrical behaviour, these could signal a deteriorating battery. Avoid unnecessary journey disruptions – our swift and efficient truck repair service, including battery replacement, caters to all HGV makes and models.
HGV check
Need a comprehensive truck repair service for your HGV? Our expert technicians will thoroughly inspect your vehicle to identify and rectify any potential issues, ensuring it meets all roadworthiness standards.
Diagnostics
Diagnostic tests are essential for both preventative maintenance and timely truck repairs. You’ll get a diagnostics test for your HGV in your Annual MOT, pre-planned maintenance and mileage intervals, which help to identify issues early before bigger problems arise. However, if you’re noticing engine malfunctions, electrical problems, transmission issues or any other potential problems, then a diagnostic test can identify the issue quickly and easily.
Prepare your HGV for Winter
Ensure your HGV is ready for winter roads with comprehensive truck repair services. This includes a tyre inspection, a battery check, a fluid level check, a lighting system inspection and replacing your worn wiper blades.
Bulbs
If your HGV’s lights aren’t functioning as they should, it could be a simple bulb replacement. Our experienced technicians at the Kettering garage specialise in a wide range of truck repair services, including headlight and taillight repairs.
DPF & Exhausts
As a leading truck repair provider, we offer swift DPF and exhaust replacement solutions for all HGV makes and models. If your HGV is suffering from DPF issues like clogging, physical damage, malfunction, or age-related deterioration, our expert truck repair technicians can assist you. Similarly, if your exhaust system is compromised due to corrosion, physical damage, leaks, or excessive noise, our truck repair services can address these concerns promptly.
Engine services
Our dedicated technicians will investigate and diagnose any issues with your truck’s engine – this can be ideal when wanting to prevent breakdowns, maintain engine health, improve fuel efficiency and extend the truck engine’s lifetime.
