Keep it competitive

Maintenance

Scheduled service, pre-event inspections and hidden-cavity wax protection.

A full service menu

To keep your car in competitive condition we handle adjustments, oil and consumable changes, greasing at manufacturer-specified intervals, Teroson cavity sealing, polishing and pre-event inspections.

Hidden-cavity wax protection

We inject wax into the body's inaccessible cavities: the longitudinal members (sills), door skins and bonnet interiors. The wax slows the return of surface corrosion and extends the life of a freshly restored car.

Parts we keep in stock

We routinely stock wear components for Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, MG and Aro M461, so a service doesn't stall waiting on parts. Other marques are serviced by arrangement.

Frequently asked

Maintenance: frequently asked questions

Do I need to book maintenance in advance?

For a simple oil service we can usually fit you in within a week; for pre-event inspections and detailing we recommend booking 4–6 weeks out.

How often should I bring my classic in?

Owner-driven cars benefit from an annual inspection and pre-winter storage prep. Event cars should come in before and after each major rally or concours.

What does a pre-event inspection cover?

Brake system, steering and suspension wear, fluid levels and condition, wheel bearings, cooling system, lighting, and a road test. We provide a signed check-sheet afterwards.

Is cavity wax protection reversible?

Cavity wax is designed to bond to the metal long-term and doesn't damage paint or the underlying structure, so we rarely need to remove it. If a future restoration calls for a full chassis strip, we include wax removal in that scope.

Do you service marques outside your stocked list?

Yes. For marques we don't routinely stock, we pre-order parts once we've seen the car and agreed the scope. Expect an additional 1–2 week lead time on the first visit.

Can you collect the car and return it?

Yes. We offer pickup and delivery through our Transport service, which helps when the car isn't road-legal or can't be driven safely.
