Worn shocks can add to braking distances significantly, and adversely affect ride comfort. We are qualified to repair damage to shock and suspension systems caused by rough roads and other wear and tear, whether it’s a simple leaf spring, MacPherson strut, or complex adjustable ride-height system.

We can repair all types of gearbox problems, from a crunching manual shift, being difficult to engage, or a slipping or smelly automatic – these are all signs your gearbox could need preventative maintenance, before a bigger repair. Gearboxes are an Ultimate specialty.

Whether your headlights aren’t working, your car isn’t starting, or any other electrical issue is occurring, we can quickly find the source of the problem and advise you of the most appropriate solution. Whether it’s a battery, alternator or just a brake-light, we can diagnose and repair.

Talk to us about clutch replacement, at the first sign of problems – whether your clutch pedal goes to the floor, is hard to get into gear, is leaking fluid, slipping or a high clutch pedal.

Are your brakes squealing, pulling to one side, grinding or a spongy pedal? These are some common problems we can diagnose and fix. Brake fluid is also hygroscopic (water absorbing), which means it needs to be flushed occasionally. Repairs to worn or damaged brakes are vital for safety and daily driving and it’s another area where prevention is often cheaper than the fix.

Vehicle manufacturers specify certain timeframes at which cambelts/timing belts should be replaced, to avoid catastrophic engine damage: our team can inspect the condition of your belt – a cambelt replacement is a fraction of the cost of what a cambelt failure could cause.

As well as servicing your air conditioning, Ultimate Automotive can take care of blockages and leaks. We have the expertise and equipment to find and fix hose leaks and compressor issues no matter where they are in your system.
