Ashcroft’s Auto Centre Ltd – Big enough to cope, small enough to care.
Car Repairs
Does your car have a mechanical problem? With decades of experience, our team carries out all types of car and engine repairs to get you back on the road. Our garage uses high-quality replacement parts, ensuring your vehicle remains road-legal and comfortable to drive. If you’re unsure of the exact nature of the issue, don’t worry. We operate diagnostic tools to get to the heart of the problem.
Our car repairs service extends to all parts of the vehicle, including the clutch, brakes, gearbox, suspension, water pump, timing belt and engine.
MOT Testing
Unless your car is brand new or was manufactured before the 1960s, you have a legal obligation to take it for an annual MOT. Our experts schedule the test for a convenient time and can describe any problems before recommending the best course of action.
We can usually perform any necessary car repairs right then and there. As always, we will explain what we’re doing at all times so you can enjoy a transparent service.
Air Conditioning
Does your air conditioning system no longer work as it should? It may be time to visit us for re-gassing, servicing or repair work.
Our garage specialises in air condition maintenance and repair, keeping you cool in summer for a more luxurious drive.
To ensure optimal efficiency, we recommend that you come to us for air-condition servicing every two years.
Four-Wheel Alignment
Properly aligned wheels maximise road safety and performance, and also reduces tyre wear. As such, your tyres will last longer and you may even save on the amount of petrol used. The alignment process involves adjusting three areas, more specifically, the angle of the steering pivot (caster), wheel angle (camber) and how far the wheel points in or outwards (toe).
We use an apparatus that measures the orientation of your wheels. Cross-checking our findings against your manufacturer’s recommended settings, we then make the precise alterations needed.
DPF Cleaning
DPF cleaning cuts down on emissions and improves the fuel economy of your vehicle in Warrington, St Helens or Cheshire. Once your diesel particulate filter (DPF) becomes blocked with soot, it will try to burn the deposits away through a process called regeneration. This process won’t always work as it should, causing performance issues that may lead to extra costs down the line.
Ashcroft’s Auto Centre Ltd clears the soot for an improved regeneration cycle. This will reduce the need for a replacement filter and achieve a more efficient drive.
Fuel Cleaning
Using top-of-the-line Fortron products, our garage can clean away the deposits from your engine. Superior to a standard pour-in cleaner, Fortron products provide an affordable alternative to replacing fuel injectors, which may cost hundreds of pounds. It’s non-corrosive, reduces exhaust emissions and cleans injectors and combustion chambers alike.
This simple process cuts down on toxic by-products. In turn, it helps the local environment and provides better gas mileage in the longer term.
Tyre Replacements
Ashcroft’s Auto Centre Ltd offers more than just car repairs and MOT testing. We also supply a range of premium and budget tyres for your vehicle, and all in different sizes. New tyres can drastically reduce stopping distance. This allows you to drive more confidently, knowing that your car will respond quickly in wet or icy conditions.
If you see blistering, worn treads or experience handling issues, give us a call to discuss our full supply-and-fitting service.
Car Breakdown Recovery
Based in Warrington, we perform a 24-hour emergency breakdown service within a 15-mile radius. Once recovered, your vehicle will receive car repairs from mechanics armed with the latest diagnostic tools. Our garage uses a large breakdown truck to pick up cars of all makes and models, including class 7 commercial vehicles.
Be it a breakdown in Warrington or an accident in St Helens, you can rely on us to bring your vehicle in quickly before undertaking the car repairs that your vehicle needs. We also take on MOT testing, tyre replacements and more besides.
