Our Motor Vehicle Services
Although we have been known for many years for our expertise in servicing Air Cooled vehicles we now service most vehicle makes and models.
We will undertake the servicing of most vehicles, old and new, and have full access to all vehicle schedules and specifications to ensure that not only is your car properly serviced but that the correct settings and tools are always used.
Why pay main dealer rates and have your car serviced? In many other garages work on your car will be undertaked by an apprentice with minimal experience. When you visit us as your local car service centre for Cowley you will have your motor car serviced at a much lower rate and also by someone with many years of experience in vehicle servicing and repairs?
Most vehicles have two basic types of service, a minor lubrication type of service or a Full Service. The details of each type, of service are detailed on our Vehicle Servicing Page
Rest assured though, even if you opt for a minor service, we always keep our eyes open for any potential problems usually only found by checks on a major service! Similarly, on a major service, if we discover that a component is in good condition and does not require replacement, then we will not automatically change it and charge you!

Wet Belt (Belt-in-Oil) Replacement Specialists
At Air Cooled Engineering, we specialise in the replacement of wet timing belts (belt-in-oil systems) — a complex job that many garages will not undertake.
Wet belts run inside the engine oil and are designed to be quieter and more efficient. However, in real-world use they are prone to premature wear and degradation, particularly if oil quality, service history or driving conditions are not ideal. When wet belts fail, the consequences are often catastrophic engine damage.
Courtesy Cars Available
For our customers leaving their vehicles with us for service or repairs we can provide a *FREE Courtesy car in many situations. (Subject to availability)
