Garage in Northampton, 7 years of experience

Clifton Garage is local garage in Northampton. We provide quality garage services including MoT and repairs.

“It is so refreshing to find a mechanic that will be transparent and helpful when things don't go right the first time. My car had several issues that occured after it's MOT, one of which was a returning problem that was supposed to have been fixed prior to the MOT. The mechanic not only corrected the returning issue but diagnosed the new problems then quoted for and fixed the problem within one working day. All of this was done with concise communitation and without ripping me off. As a female driver, it can be difficult to be taken seriously and not be taken advantage of by nechanics so this was a welcome change.”

“Simon arrived just after 6:00pm and was polite and friendly. Ten minutes later the job was complete. Wipers are brilliant, no noise and no smears. Yes, if someone could have taken me to buy the replacement wiper it would have been a lot cheaper but there was no one I could ask and being disabled it's not possible to get public transport. Simon and Clickmechanic did me proud. Thank you all very much.”

“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.”

Garage serving Northampton, 18 years of experience

Been in the motor trade for 18 years . Started with working for a German car specialist wile getting my qualification .then moved on to different garages working on all make and model then got my mot licence .

“I recently booked an advanced Pre Inspection Report on a car that I was considering purchasing from a private seller. Dill, the mechanic, carried out the report the following morning so it was great to not keep the seller of the vehicle waiting and risk losing out on the car. Dill called me during and after the inspection and sent multiple relevant images. The car wasn’t quite as tidy as it had seemed in the advert and I felt that Dill gave me a more realistic appraisal of the cars condition, any work that could be expected in the future and any immediate mechanical points that I needed to be aware of. This meant that I could assess whether or not to go ahead with going to view the car (3 hours away) and what I would be willing to pay for it. I ended up buying the car at a price that reflected its condition and any work required. Dill’s assessment, communication and willingness to investigate areas of the car that were particular to my needs played a large part in having confidence in the buying process. Thank you Dill!
I’ve bought two cars privately using clickmechanic.com for a PPR so I would recommend them.”

Frequently asked questions about engine oil change & replacements in Northampton

Read our answers to questions about engine oil change costs, symptoms and more.

What does an engine oil change in Northampton involve?

  • The mechanic will raise the vehicle and ensure that the surrounding area is protected against any spillage
  • The mechanic will drain the oil and change the oil filter
  • Mechanic will then refill the engine with the correct grade and quantity of quality oil
  • Mechanic will run the engine and once cool, will re check the level
  • Any dashboard based oil service and quality warnings will be reset to indicate the oil service has been performed

What are the symptoms of bad engine oil?

Fundamentally, unless it has gone too far, the average motorist is unlikely to know there is something wrong physically with it.

There may be an oil pressure warning on the dashboard that could indicate the oil isn’t circulating as well as it should due to a blocking filter or even a failing oil pump or there may be an oil level warning, which would indicate there isn’t enough oil in the engine. However both of these warnings are not really an indicator of the actual oil quality but can alert you to potential issues.
Therefore typical symptoms are;

  • Engine oil level warning
  • Engine oil pressure warning
  • Service indicator lights
  • Oil quality warning light

How long will an engine oil change take in Northampton?

An engine oil change usually takes around 1 hour, but can take less or more time.

Should I change engine oil every 10,000 miles?

Most auto manufacturers recommend changing engine oil every 5000-7000 miles. However, keep in mind that older cars may need its engine oil changed more frequently. The best thing to do is check the owner's manual for manufacturer recommended oil change frequency.

Which engine oil is the best for my car?

Engine oil comes in different viscosities, and is generally signified by a grade number, such as 5w40. It is important to consult the owner's manual as using the wrong type of oil can cause stress to the mechanical components of the engine that need optimum lubrication.

Is a bad engine oil an MOT failure?
