Quality Motor Servicing Melksham
Servicing your car is important. Nothing maintains performance and reliability more than a regular service. Look after your vehicle and it will look after you.
Changing clogged filters and degraded fluids will help keep the wheels turning. Monitoring wear on components like brakes, tyres, and suspension may foresee future problems and prevent surprises.
Our skilled mechanics will conduct your service. As well as oil and filters, they will review any fault codes that may be stored in your car's management software.
We'll tell you when something is broken or worn enough to need attention, but won't perform any work without your knowledge and permission.
You will be advised, in straightforward language, if components are wearing and we will give you an honest estimate for the expected life of part-worn components.
We'll never sell you parts or work you don't need and won't try to bamboozle you with jargon.
No mess, no nonsense, just an important job done well.
Service data can be uploaded to manufacturers' digital logs, in many cases, but if you want to keep your own service history record, by supplying a paper logbook, all of your services can be dated and stamped.
If you need a car while yours is in the workshop we offer a car loan service for the day for only £15 and a little paperwork. Your driving licence will be required.
Ask the service team in reception for the details when you book your date.

Your ability to control speed and stop in an emergency is of paramount importance. Keeping your brakes in good order is a genuine matter of life and death. For you, your passengers and other drivers.
Modern braking systems are much more effective than those from even the recent past, but they do wear down with use and require occasional adjustment and care to keep them at their best.
Brakes will be inspected as part of a regular service but if you notice any unusual juddering or screeching when braking, if your car veers off to one side or if you just don't slow down without the pedal being pushed flat to the floor, then it is time to get your brakes inspected, and quickly.
At Audi VW Cars, our qualified mechanics have the skills and experience to diagnose and remedy whatever has gone wrong with your braking system.
Brake pads and discs can be expertly repaired, and we will get you back on the road with complete peace of mind for your own safety and that of all road users.
No fuss, no drama, just an important job done well.
Call, email, or pop in and have a chat. Brakes are important and our number one desire is to keep you on the road. Safely.

Every modern car is a four-wheeled computer. Performance, comfort and safety depend on sensors and digital management systems. Engine function, power, lighting, braking, emissions, and even tyre pressure are among the areas that are electronically controlled or monitored.
If something goes wrong or is operating beyond the manufacturer's limits, a fault will be recorded in the electronic management unit of the car and a warning light will be triggered on the dashboard display.
Whenever you have a problem, come to our diagnostics centre in Melksham, where we can run a full diagnostic scan of the vehicle, producing a list of fault codes showing which areas are non-functional or operating at a reduced level. A senior technician will then discuss the results with you, explaining the issues in clear, plain English.
No jargon, no nonsense, no hard sell.
At Audi VW Cars we use state-of-the-art electronic equipment and the latest, brand-specific, software to produce and then, analyse the correct codes for each manufacturer.
Once the highlighted problem is remedied and full function is restored, we will clear that fault code so that the system is reset, and each new diagnostic in the future begins with a clean sheet.

Looking to buy tyres for your car? Audi VW Car Sales can get you driving safe and legal on the road.
Look for cuts, cracks and bulges, or any other evidence of damage, from violent impact or kerbing, or excessive wear inner/outer of the tyre or middle of tread. Damaged tyres may be illegal and can be dangerous. For peace of mind, call into Audi VW Car Sales for some friendly expert advice and ask for your free tyre check.
Air Conditioning repairs and servicing.
The air conditioning system provides a mobile comfort zone for all the occupants of your vehicle. It maintains a supply of filtered air at a pleasant temperature and humidity inside your vehicle whatever the weather outside. This helps reduce fatigue and keeps you more alert. It is also a bonus for anyone travelling with young children. In icier and wet weather, the air conditioning clears windows and rear-view mirrors efficiently and gets you going with minimal delay.
Degradation of the coolant in air conditioning systems means that gas pressure tends to drop over time and should be checked and topped up every two years. If you notice a gradual drop in performance then servicing and re-gassing of the unit is probably due. If, on the other hand, your unit stops working suddenly, gas pressure alone is unlikely to be the problem.
At Audi VW Cars, we offer a full air conditioning service, pressure testing, re-gassing, and compressor repairs.
No fuss, no drama, just an important job done well.
Pressure will be checked, and the correct propellant added to bring the pressure up to the manufacturer's recommended levels before a full test is run.
Whatever your air conditioning problem, we have a solution, and you will soon be back in your comfort zone.

The suspension in your car works hard, it doesn't just smooth out the lumps and bumps. It's an essential part of what keeps your vehicle on the road. Steering, cornering and braking all depend on a well-adjusted suspension to provide optimal performance and safety.
Some modern systems even require calibrating to work with the car's electronic management software so that features such as lane assist, and headlight alignment operate safely and consistently.
There are many kinds of suspension and our qualified mechanics work with all of them.
At Audi VW cars we know that it's not just about shocks and springs. Bushes, droplinks, ball joints and rollbars all work harmoniously to produce a safe, comfortable and reliable vehicle.
If your car has become harder to steer on curves, veers off-line while braking, makes noise on bends, or shows uneven tyre wear then you may have a problem with a worn or damaged suspension so give us a call and put your mind at rest. We will give you an honest analysis and a clear quote if work is required
No jargon, no drama, just an important job done well.
Some things in a car, like a good sound system, are ""nice to have' while others are essential. A fully functional battery falls firmly into the latter category.
Traditionally, as well as starting the car, the battery maintained the engine's running and powered the radio and lights. Equally traditionally, a basic lead acid battery would do an adequate job, as it has throughout the history of motoring.
Basic batteries are rapidly fading in importance as modern cars become more software-controlled and demand more from their batteries. Some have a stop/start feature to reduce fuel consumption and cut down on emissions. Some reclaim power from braking to charge the battery and almost all of them have an enormous number of electronic features compared to the past.
Batteries for advanced electronic systems should be synced to work with the engine management software. Failure to do so can lead to the loss of function of those features.
Some cars require very specific battery packs or may have more than one in the vehicle, each dedicated to a different function. Getting the right replacement for your car is essential for peace of mind and trouble-free motoring.
At Audi VW cars our skilled technicians can test and replace any battery, match it with your vehicle's electronic management system, and have you back on the road in no time.
No fuss, no drama, just an important job done well.
