“Al was brilliant, he contacted us to agree the time and date and again when he was enroute to us. Very punctual and polite.
The work was carried out very well and he changed the headlight as we needed (no simple job) as the front bumper had to be removed first.
When it was complete Al allowed us to check everything worked and even offered to come back if there were any issues.
We were very happy with the knowledge and expertise Al had and how quickly he completed the work. We would recommend him and use his services again.”

“Joe was very friendly and he knew what he was talking about.
The job he took on was a straight forward one (bleeding brakes). The last mechanic could not do this job after replacing the driver side rear brake pipe. This pipe fractured after having the rear brake pads changed by Michael last Tuesday.
Joe was going to bring the car back to me but there was a screeching noise coming from the rear break on the drivers side. As the car has not been driven since the breaks were changed he has got to find out what is causing the problem. To say I am glad I have him on the job would be an understatement.”

Frequently asked questions about engine oil change & replacements in Watford

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

What does an engine oil change in Watford 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

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
