“I found your company via the internet. From the moment I signed up with you regarding urgent repairs to my vehicle, I was impressed.

I received a message stating that Michael would be my mechanic and had been allocated to me. At this point, I was also given a reference number. Michael called me the day before he was due to come out (between 12 and 2 p.m.) to understand the full circumstances of the car's issues, what I had been told the problem was, and my own observations.

Later, I received another call from Michael, letting me know he could arrive by 9:30 a.m., which was perfect as my car could no longer be started, and I was relying on taxis. He arrived the next morning and completed the assessment of my car. It was then decided that the repairs could not be done on my driveway, so the vehicle needed to be taken to Luton, where his garage is located.

Michael was keen to get the job done quickly. He arranged for a pick-up truck to collect my vehicle and transport it to Luton, which cost me £130. He was passionate, very professional, and kept me well informed throughout the process. However, there was some confusion due to the constant emails and messages stating that you were unable to allocate a mechanic, even though the car had been with Michael since the 18th.

Money was removed from my account to cover the repairs, then refunded, and at one point, it seemed as though the job had been canceled. Despite these hiccups, my car was returned today, and I’m happy with both the car and the repairs. Michael even had it cleaned before returning it.

The only negative aspect was that Michael needs to manage customer expectations better. For example, in my case, I had a rented vehicle and a business to run. If he had said, “We’re looking at about three days, mate,” instead of implying it might take a week, I could have planned accordingly. This would have saved me from needing to extend the rental or pay for additional taxis after the three-day mark when the car was still in Luton.

As someone with a business and commitments, managing my expectations was critical. Nevertheless, I would rate the overall experience a 9/10.”

How long will an ABS repair take in Northampton?

The time an abs repair will take will depend on the type of repair needed and a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.

What happens when the ABS system fails?

The ABS, or anti-lock braking system, on your car is a super important system that prevents your wheels from locking up and therefore simply skidding across the road surface. The system is especially important when braking in adverse weather conditions, i.e. when the road surface is slippery due to leaves, frost or when there are traces of oil on the road. Because of this, keeping your anti-lock braking systems properly maintained is vital.

There's a couple of components in the system that can cause problems. In many cases it will be the ABS sensors that fail, which means the system will not receive the information it requires to activate the system.

When should you replace the ABS sensors?

You will only know for sure if, and indeed which, ABS sensor requires replacement after a diagnostic investigation has taken place. Therefore we advise in all circumstances that this is carried out prior to booking the replacement of any components.

How much does an ABS sensor replacement in Northampton cost?

Cost for an ABS sensor replacement is on average £100, with prices ranging from £65 to £140. Ultimately, the cost depends on your car and what parts your car's manufacturer recommends using for the replacement. Find out what you could save by having your ABS sensor replaced by ClickMechanic by selecting your car below!

What are the symptoms of a bad ABS module?

Typical symptoms that would point to an issue with the ABS and would require an ABS diagnostic:

  • The car's ABS warning light stays on permanently once the engine is started
  • The brakes lock up very easily when braking on slippery surfaces
  • The brakes do not respond as well as normal under hard braking

What are the signs of a bad ABS wheel speed sensor?

A bad ABS wheel speed sensor will often cause the ABS dashboard warning light to come on. Other symptoms may include a loss of traction control, and the vehicle may take longer to stop. It is recommended to get it checked and fixed by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.

Is ABS light on a MOT failure?

Yes, if the ABS light is permanently on, it will result in an MOT failure. The rules state that the car will fail if the ABS light does not follow the correct sequence of operation and indicates an ABS fault.
