WHEEL ALIGNMENT
with Walsall Wood Service
Wheel alignment or tracking as it has been known, is essentially as it suggests. It is the process of aligning tyres in the correct manner, ensuring they work correctly and to maximum efficiency.
ALIGNMENT, SAFETY & TYRE WEAR
Wheels that are not aligned correctly can cause unnecessary tyre wear, ultimately affecting the safety and response of your vehicle. Once a wheel is incorrectly aligned it can also cause damage to your wallet, increasing fuel costs while decreasing handling ability.
REGULAR CHECKS
Regular checks could allow your tyres to last up to an additional 12,000 miles.
Pop in to the Walsall Wood Service branch to learn more about tyre alignment and the extensive range of tyres stocked on site.

TYRE CHECKS
with Walsall Wood Service
Regular tyre checks are more important than the average road user may think. It is imperative that vehicle owners check their tyres on a consistent basis as the slightest change in tread depth or tyre condition can ultimately end up being the difference between life and death.
HOW LONG DO TYRES LAST?
The lifetime duration of a tyre is influenced by many factors, such as, the manner in which the vehicle is used, driver error, the tyre model and other external factors. The average longevity tends to be between 30,000 and 60,000 miles. While this may be a guideline to stick to it is worth checking your tyres before hitting the 30,000 mark.
THE BEST TYRES
Supplying only the best tyres available on the market, Walsall Wood Tyre & Service stock huge brands such as Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear & Michelin, plus many, many more!
ANY CONCERNS?

Car & Van Timing Belt Change
with Walsall Wood Service
A timing belt is used to keep the camshaft and the crankshaft in perfect synchronicity. If they do not perform in perfect synchronisation, serious and rather expensive issues can be caused, therefore, your timing belt must be in tip-top condition and working as intended. Many drivers will not be aware of an issue regarding the timing belt until they fail, making servicing and vehicle maintenance something that should be conducted regularly.
WHEN TO REPLACE A TIMING BELT
A timing belt should be replaced dependant on the advice and guidelines provided inside the owner’s manual which comes with the vehicle. As a whole, it is recommended that timing belts are replaced around or preferably before reaching 100,000 miles.
TIMING BELT CHANGE SYMPTOMS
The following symptoms often suggest a replacement timing belt is needed:
- Oil leaks, specifically from the cover of the timing belt.
- Strange noises from the engine, in this case, a ticking sound.
- Misfiring engine
- The engine is unable to turn over
UNDERLYING TIMING BELT ISSUE
These symptoms may be apparent and imply there is an issue with the timing belt in your car, van or vehicle, however, these symptoms may not be noticeable to the under-prepared driver. If you believe there could be an underlying issue with your car, van or vehicle, contact Walsall Wood Service today.

I cannot recommend Walsall Wood Service enough. I took my car for MOT, got a warm welcome when I got there along with a coffee they then took my keys to carry out the MOT in my car. My car passed with a few advisories. This is where I was impressed, the MOT tester then sat down with me and explained why I had advisories and what actions needed to be taken and how this can be avoided next time.
Amazing garage, amazing service defiantly a customer for life. ????

CAR & VAN EXHAUSTS
with Walsall Wood Service
Over time exhausts will corrode and crack due to the acidic moisture passing through it while the vehicle is in use. Other external factors such a hitting speed bumps or accidental damage can also have a massive influence on the lifetime duration of an exhaust. Look out for the following signs of exhaust damage and it is much easier to avoid more expensive and time-consuming repairs.
EXHAUST NOISES?
As with many other vehicle related issues, irregular noises are tell-tale signs that there is an underlying issue that needs immediate attention. As the name suggests, the silencer, if damaged will cause your exhaust to sound much louder than it did so previously. Normally irregular noises are caused by the silencer are due to corrosion from the previously mentioned acidic moisture.
VISIBLE EXHAUST CRACKS?
The signs of an exhaust which needs replacing can also be noticed visually, in the form of cracks. In order to correctly evaluate the condition of an exhaust and if a replacement is necessary, begin by inspecting the entire length of the exhaust closely. Be sure to check all visible areas of the exhaust for cracks, rust, corrosion or holes.
INCREASED FUEL CONSUMPTION?
In complete or leaking exhaust systems can lead to increased fuel consumption and also a lack power, increased external noise can cause increased driver fatigue slowing down driver reaction times.
If you feel your exhaust may need replacing or would simply like to put your mind to rest, pop in to the Walsall Wood Service HQ for a free inspection and always friendly helpful advice!

DPF with Walsall Wood Service
A Diesel Particulate Filter or DPF as it is commonly known, is a filter within a diesel vehicle, which aims to reduce carbon emissions produced through the use of the vehicle. DPFs are extremely common and as the world increases the use of more environmentally friendly products, the increase in numbers will only continue, rendering diesel vehicles without them obsolete.
DPF SOOT BUILD UP
The DPF works by collecting toxic soot which is expelled from the exhaust when the vehicle is being driven heavily impacting the reliability and performance of the Diesel Particulate Filter over time. The depreciation and damage caused to the DPF is heavily influenced by the manner in which the vehicle is used. For example, a diesel car which is only used for short journeys or the average trip around town will be much more susceptible to soot build up as the DPF is unable to regenerate.
DPF CLEANING & REGENERATION
Regeneration is the process in which the exhaust rises to a temperature of at least 600 degrees in order to burn off the excess soot collected on the exhaust.
The following noticeable symptoms would suggest the DPF on your vehicle needs to be cleaned:
- Needing to use more fuel
- A loss of engine power
- Stop – Start issues
- DPF warning light is lit up
DPF CONCERNS
If you have any concerns regarding your DPF and the best course of action to take in order to avoid a replacement or a dip in performance, swing by the Walsall Wood Service garage for a quick check up!

Replacement Clutches with Walsall Wood Service
On average a clutch can last up to 100,000 miles, depending on the individual car, van or vehicle, the manner in which it is driven and how well the vehicle is maintained. This could be influenced by trivial things such as transporting heavy cargo or the everyday journey through the city.
GETTING CLUTCH ISSUES ADDRESSED
As with many other car, van or vehicle-related issues, strange noises or noticeable changes in performance or vehicle responses are all telltale signs that there is a problem that needs analysing and repairing. In many cases, these simple repairs can be conducted for minimal cost and in a relatively quick manner. The sooner an issue is confronted, the cheaper and easier the problem will be to resolve.
SYMPTOMS OF A CLUTCH NEEDING ATTENTION
The following list of symptoms could be signs that your vehicle requires a new clutch:
- A grinding noise when changing gears.
- Difficulty changing gears.
- Minimal increase in speed when revving the engine.
- The pedal responds unusually. E.g. Stiff or loose feeling when applying pressure.
It is the team’s professional opinion that services are performed more regularly than stated within the vehicle’s user manual. The manual itself only accounts for the vehicle’s specification when new, as it would be incredibly difficult to tailor individual manuals for each driver. Try to get your vehicle serviced at least once between MOTs and more often as the car ages and the mileage increases.
HOW LONG DOES A CAR or VAN CLUTCH CHECK TAKE
A quick clutch check can be conducted in minimal time, contact Walsall Wood Service to arrange a same day check, at your earliest convenience.

Car & Van Brake Replacement & Repair
with Walsall Wood Service
Here at Walsall Wood Service, the safety of our customers is the number one priority. Overtime the reliability and performance of a vehicle’s brakes and brake pads depreciates, through regular use and general wear and tear.
Without studying mechanics or essential industry knowledge many would be forgiven for not noticing the signs of damaged or ineffective brakes and brake pads. If you notice any of the following signs, then you may need new brakes pads or repair work conducted.
BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
Warning lights – As the name suggests, a warning light is warning you of an issue with your vehicle. In relation to the brakes on your vehicle, this is normally a sign of a leak or that the brake fluid has dropped to a low level.
Ageing brake fluid – Due to the properties of brake fluid, over time the effectiveness and reliability of the fluid decreases dramatically. This is due to the fluid itself absorbing moisture. It is advised to replace your brake fluid before the two-year recommendation.
GRINDING & SQUEAKING
Grinding and squeaking noises – More often than not, undesirable sounds projecting from a vehicle’s brakes are usually a sign that the brake pads need replacing. However, these noises could also be a sign that the brakes need replacing entirely. If your vehicle is currently making strange noises be sure to consult a garage as soon as possible.
PROFESSIONAL FREE ADVICE
While these are commonly noticeable signs of brake issues, there are a number of other signs which indicate the possibility of potential issues. If you are concerned about any of the issues mentioned above or would like a professional opinion on whether or not your vehicle needs to be checked, drop the team a call and they will be more than happy to run through other signs, providing you with free advice.

DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS
with Walsall Wood Service
In the same way in which a sick person would attend a GP surgery with concerns of an underlying illness, a vehicle should visit a garage for a diagnostics check, if there is even the slightest suspicion of an issue with the car or van. Despite obvious factors such as unusual noises, visible damage and warning lights, many road users continue to delay Diagnostics checks, often doing far too little far too late.
WHAT IS A WARNING LIGHT?
As the name suggests, a warning light’s purpose is to do exactly what it states in its name, to warn you through the lighting of LEDs that there is a potential issue with your vehicle. In principal, warning lights should allow the owner enough time to consult with a professional and complete repairs before the issue becomes irreversible or even potentially life-threatening.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)
These warning lights are controlled via the vehicle’s Engine Control Unit or ECU as it is commonly known. While the warning lights will inform the driver of an issue it will not pinpoint the exact cause of the problem as there are a considerable amount of issues which relate to each individual warning light. Through the use of a diagnostics check, Walsall Wood Service will be able to isolate the specific cause for concern with the help of the ECU’s memory.
ANY CONCERNS?
If you have any concerns or more importantly any warning lights lit up on your dashboard, contact the Walsall Wood Tyre and Service team, as soon as possible!

MOT due soon? Book now to avoid delays!
As a driver, you have a legal responsibility to ensure your car or van is safe to drive. No excuses, no exceptions. Despite many road users uttering the famous words “I know my vehicle”, very few know the exact condition of the vehicle they own. This is through no fault of their own as only those who have been trained or well educated in the subject will be able to perform many of the checks required for a safe, reliable and LEGAL vehicle.
WHAT IS AN MOT?
An MOT is a legally required, yearly check on any on-road vehicle that is more than three years old. Through a large checklist of inspections to conduct and issues to resolve, an MOT is essentially a doctor’s appointment for your vehicle. The MOT test is a minimum roadworthiness test, often misconceived for a service it is checking the roadworthiness of the vehicle at the time of the test and uses an advisory system at testers discretion for non-fail items that is recommended for attention of the driver at earliest convenience.
WHAT IS CHECKED DURING AN MOT?
As mentioned above, an incredible amount of work is put into completing the average MOT. It’s understandable that as a customer you want to know what you’re paying for. The list below highlights some of the inspections conducted during an MOT at Walsall Wood Service.
Brakes are checked to make sure they are in a usable condition and that they are working efficiently.
Seatbelts are checked to ensure they will provide the correct restraint during a road accident.
Tyres are inspected for damage, general wear and tear and tread depth. It is hoped that the correct tyres are already fitted on your vehicle, but this will also be confirmed through inspection.
The integrity of the car or vans structure will be thoroughly examined to confirm there is no excessive corrosion or damage which could cause potentially life-threatening scenarios.
Vehicle emissions are tested to minimise the release of harmful gases to the environment
Plus many, many more…
HOW LONG DOES AN MOT TAKE TO COMPLETE
The average MOT takes around an hour to complete. This is in incidents where no repair work is necessary for the vehicle to pass the MOT, as repair work may take considerably longer.
Walsall Wood Service are dedicated to providing quick and efficient same day MOTs, book in now to avoid disappointment!
