When WMM director David Connellan is in the recovery truck with staff members he always tells them: “T & T – tyres and tarmac.” If you can see both and the car in front breaks down you can easily drive around them.               David was driving home recently when…

Motorists are always trying to save money these days and a new customer to WMM purchased a cheap diagnostic tool for approximately £35.             The car had a loss of power, and he could not work out what the problem was.  He said he was “handy” with the spanners. The…

WMM are an AA approved garage, and have a really good working relationship with them.             The AA patrol vans are mostly Ford Transits and the patrolman who drove this van had parked it outside his house for four days while he was taking a short break. When he was…

The oil filter in the photo is from a 15 plate Dacia Sandero, which its owner needed for work. The car was recovered to WMM by the AA and the engine was extremely noisy.             The patrolman, who reported that the car had excessive white smoke and a noisy chain,…

WMM director Dave’s staff keep telling him he is old. The truth is, we all are though Dave does admit to having a lot of tools in his tool box that are older than most of the staff!             The age comment was made when he was explaining to a…

Motorists who own an LPG vehicle have had the vehicle converted to use dual fuel and save money.             At WMM we are LPG trained and always tell customers the system should have an annual service. A vehicle we fitted the system to in 2013 came in for us to find…

A while ago, WMM were called by a customer who had an imported Nissan with a drivability issue.               After talking on the phone, we suspected the cause. The customer took it to his local garage who stated that, before they could diagnose the fault, a full service needed…
