What if I told you there was a better, more convenient method to get those crucial tyres without ever having to get up from your cosy couch? Yes, that’s correct; here’s why purchasing your automobile tyres online is the best option.

You may just jump online rather than brave the weather and battle for a parking space in town. Any time of day or night, from the comforts of your home, peruse a huge assortment of tyres. You won’t have to hustle to squeeze a garage visit into your hectic schedule or stand in line.

In any case, a lot of local garages and tyre depots have embraced the digital era and provide online ordering. That means you may still purchase locally and still benefit from online shopping. It benefits both parties!

Until the next time, have safe travels around Halifax and beyond, and don’t forget to maintain those tyres!

I hope this is clear enough! Please let me know if there is anything I need change or add.

A few years ago, a similar thing happened

But that time it was the tyre wholesalers that cut the price up, selling cheap car tyres to Tom, Dick and Harry and lowering our profits once again.This time, large internet companies like the supermarket chain ASDA are joining them under the name of ASDA Tyres..

Luckily for the smaller independent tyre retailer

the cost of running your own, priced-up website has come down considerably and we can now all compete with the big companies that trade online. This is where we all are today and God only knows what the future will bring, but at least we can now compete and service our customers at a local level once again; only time will tell.

So when you are thinking of buying car tyres online in Halifax, look for a “LOCAL” tyre company that will sell the same product as the big boys at the same price or less.

As an update, Blackcircles has been bought out by Michelin tyres and tyre wholesalers are buying up retail tyre depots to try keep their market share.

Wheel Alignment Problems

1st December 2024/in All Wheel Alignment Stuff/by Eric Roberts

The words wheel alignment will be heard thousands of times a year by any member of the motoring fraternity. One of the most common first signs that your wheel alignment is out, will be that your steering wheel will be out of line and not feel to in a straight line, hence when you are cruising along your car feels to be pulling to one side or the other.

If you should happen notice that your vehicle pulls significantly . Either, to the left or right . Especially, when you are driving along in your car . On a straight, flat road. hence with not much wind about. Then you will probably having Wheel Alignment Problems.

Another bad sign is when you notice that your tyres are wearing off. Especially at the edges of the tread area. Then this means that your alignment will need adjusting . Of course,, to correct your Wheel Alignment Problems .

As a result, you should take your car to a local tyre dealer or a good garage. Especially, in your local area to have its wheel alignment checked. of course, this is an easy job for your tyre guy to perform. Especially. if your vehicle’s wheels are not properly aligned. Therefore, it will cause abnormal and premature wearing of your tyres.

Mazda 5 Brake Problems-crawls in with Brakes Problem making a bad Grinding noise?

30th November 2024/in Brake Servicing Halifax/by Eric Roberts

Mazda 5 Brake Problems

One of the benefits of being an independent garage is the huge diversity of cars that pass through our doors, and our ability to service and fix most of them. I say most of them, because we do have some problems with electrical faults, that can’t be detected without specialists equipment and so in that case we have a couple of different guys who are mobile electrical specialists. Otherwise we can cope with most car problems.

One popular car to run around Halifax UK, is the Mazda 5. The most popular ones being the different Mazda sports cars, that in my opinion were a similarity to our own beloved MGB sport cars, they all look very much alike.

Mazda’s have come a long way since the 1960’s, when they were inspired by the development of the NSU and the Wankel engine. I remember this little car very well; a mechanic friend bought one and showed me the strange engine that was belt driven. The car was also very fast once it got going and the guy used to frighten me to death: eventually the engine blew up and the car was scrapped.

Mazda were very interested in the German technology

So the Japanese car company formed a business alliance. Of course, with the German car company NSU. In 1967 Mazda started to make a limited production model called the Cosmo Sport and eventually became the sole makers of the Wankel engine, this was only because all the other car companies had given up making the rotary engine.

The Mazda car company was beginning to get a good reputation and started exporting their cars from Japan, both the rotary engine and the standard type piston engine layout, all over the World. These cars were primarily the rotary engine cars, especially the RX models, the RX 2, 3 and 4, were the biggest sellers.

In recent years many other very reputable models were introduced to the UK car market and this brings me onto the Mazda 5 that came into us with brake problems. The customer

originally rang us up for a Brake Replacement Cost, but we explained that we could not tell what the problem was until we removed all the wheels and inspected the Car Brakes including the Car Brake Pads, to see what the problem was.

The customer was a lady with a couple of children and we promised to do the best price for her. This Mazda 5 is a very fuel efficient car with great style and with the performance is a very desirable people carrier and so is very popular as a family car.

The Mazda was left with us for the day with a promise to call the lady with a Mazda 5 Brake Problems, as soon as the problem was assessed.

We pulled the car onto the car-ramp and removed all the wheels for a brake inspection

The original problem on the Mazda 5 was that the Mazda 5 Brake Problems were making a terrible grinding noise, and we soon found out why? The front brake caliper’s was half seized up.

This means that only one of the front Brake Pads were actually working. The one pad that was doing the work wore out quicker than the other pad. Until it went down to the bare metal. Hence,this is what made the terrible grinding noise. From the front of the car.

The other front Disc Brakes were also in need of replacing, so we gave the lady an estimate, and we were given the go-ahead to do the work on the Mazda 5. Luckily, the brake calliper could be freed off with a little heat and did not need replacing. All the other parts—the discs and pads—were replaced. The rear brakes were in good condition and only required a clean-up and the drums replaced.

This type of problem is a common fault with brake discs. Thus, it is one of the reasons that you should have your car and your brakes serviced. Of course, here in the PellonAutocentre Halifax area, we service car brakes on most car makes and models. In a service, one of the things that we do is clean and grease the caliper’s. So that they do not seize up and frighten the customer to death. especially when they hear the dreaded grinding noise of metal on metal. Naturally, when their brake pads wear out,

The job was completed, and the happy customer picked up her car in the evening.Mazda 5 Brake Problems

Four Wheel Alignment Adjusted

30th November 2024/1 Comment/in All Wheel Alignment Stuff/by Eric Roberts

Four Wheel Alignment Adjusted

Four Wheel Alignment Adjusted- Eric Roberts‘s insight:

Wheel Alignment is very important-Four Wheel Alignment Adjusted

If you are going to have a new set of tyres fitted, Then it will cost you to have the four-wheel alignment checked. Of course, if it is out, it will be adjusted to the correct settings. Ensuring that your new tyres will have the best start possible. What I mean is that when your steering geometry is set correctly, your car will perform to its maximum, the steering will feel correct, and the steering wheel will be straight.

We all know the feeling when the car steering wheel is off centre and when you try to straighten the wheel, the car veers to the left or right, not very comfortable at all. This is what wheel alignment equipment does for you; it will correct that, and the car will steer and drive perfectly.

There are many types of alignment machines on the market, and in my opinion, they all do the same job: they correct your car’s alignment. The one featured in this article from the back of a van will do just the same job as an all-whistling £20000 machine that sits on its own car lift and gives you a computer printout at the end. They all do the same final job and read the state of your cars Wheel Alignment Halifax

So, we’re back with more alignment talk. This time? It’s all about the four-wheel alignment. Yeah, it’s pivotal. It’s like the full-body massage of the car world. Front and back, all in harmony. So, why is it such a big deal?

Full-Bodied Balance

Look, four-wheel alignment is about the whole car. It’s comprehensive. It’s not just tweaking the front wheels. It’s syncing them with the rear. It’s all about that full-bodied balance.

The Not-So-Adjustable Rear

Here’s the catch. Not all cars have adjustable rear wheels. Shocking, I know. It’s like they’re stuck in their ways. Unmovable. But does it make four-wheel alignment redundant? Absolutely not.

Front Reflects Rear-Four Wheel Alignment Adjusted

See, when the rear is unmovable, the front has to compensate. It’s like a dance. The front wheels adjust, reflect, and balance the rear’s rigidity. It’s a delicate interplay. A harmonious tango between the rigid and the flexible

The Ultimate Sync

Think of four-wheel alignment as the ultimate sync. It’s the symphony of the automotive world. The wheels play in tune. They roll in harmony. It’s fluid. It’s coherent. Even if the rear is unmovable, the front takes the lead, bringing balance.

Why Go Full?

So, why is 4-wheel alignment the go-to? It’s about precision. It’s about getting the entire car in tune. It’s about optimal handling. It’s about every wheel playing its part, moving in sync, giving you control and smoothness.

Spot the Signs-Four Wheel Alignment Adjusted

Feeling a drift? A wobble? These are cries for alignment. Don’t ignore them. It might just be the front compensating for the back. It’s a sign. It’s a call for that 4-wheel alignment.

A Harmony of Wheels

4-wheel alignment is the harmony of wheels. It’s the synchronised dance of automotive parts. It’s not about adjusting the unadjustable. It’s about creating a fluid, balanced motion and keeping your car straight and narrow.

It’s about Precision

In conclusion, it’s simple. 4-wheel alignment is the epitome of precision. It’s about symmetry, balance, and harmony, all working in perfect concert, regardless of the rigidity of the rear wheels.

So, if your car feels off, get that 4-wheel alignment checked. It’s not about changing the unchangeable; it’s about aligning the changeable to complement the rigid. It’s about balance in motion. Keep it synchronised, keep it smooth!

Wheel alignment will affect the amount of wear that your tyres have to withstand.The alignment settings on most cars is designed to minimise wear and tear and maintain a high level of driver and passenger control and comfort.

Carrying out the correct four-wheel alignment will reduce wear on the tread rubber of your tyres, which will give you a comfortable increase in their life and performance. The correct alignment will also improve your car’s fuel economy. It will also maintain high standards for your car’s handling and driving safety by minimising steering and stability problems.

Hitting a curb or driving over a pothole can cause misalignment.

it can also be thrown out in more severe cases, like a collision or other forms of accidents, which could easily knock your car’s suspension out of alignment. Misalignment can usually happen as your car’s suspension and steering parts wear out or when they are replaced.

When your car’s wheel alignment is incorrect, rapid tyre wear will happen, especially on either of the tyre edges, where the tread and the sidewall meet each other, and the handling of the vehicle will be badly affected. It is usually the case that you will have to replace your damaged tyres sooner than expected.

Now onto 2024 Pellon Tyres are now members of Tyresafe.org

To update, we have now invested in a new Hofmann four wheel alignment machine.

Night battery storage

Night battery storage

The various towns and cities. They are the beating heart of humanity, teeming with life and bursting with the vitality of life’s potential. Most importantly, these locations have enormous untapped potential. The possibility of a change. In the name of the green revolution.

Night battery storage collection techniques and battery storage are of the utmost importance. In our fight against climate change, they are the unsung heroes who deserve praise.

Our bustling towns and cities are the unsung conductors of the dance of progress; they are the innovative foster parents of ecosystems that have the potential to and should enthusiastically welcome solar energy.

They are covered in rooftops, which offer vast unoccupied territories for the installation of solar panels. The sunshine that so generously bathes our cityscapes is a resource that never runs out and can always be replenished. There is a lot of it. It is free of dirt. It packs quite a punch.

Solar collection is more than just harnessing the sun’s rays.

It has to do with storing things. Night battery storage, comes into play at this point, making it possible to make sure that not even a sliver of sunlight is wasted. A safe and dependable reserve, which is especially important when the sun stealthily hides behind the clouds, so that the energy that sustains life can continue to meet our unending requirements.

Cities are engines of progress and transformation. They are at the forefront, boldly taking the initiative to lead the charge against the energy crises we are facing.

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for each and every municipality, big or small, to thoroughly incorporate solar energy collection and Night battery storage. It’s not just a step in the right direction environmentally; it’s also a profound statement about our dedication to our planet and our future.

The pace of change is frequently slow. Nevertheless, the transformation that needs to take place within our urban spaces must be quick and absolutely unwavering. Our commitment to fostering a lifestyle powered by the sun should not, cannot, and under no circumstances should we waver in this endeavour. It is necessary in light of recent events. It is the responsibility that we share as a group.

The villages and larger cities.

They are not simply assemblages of brick and mortar, but rather dynamic entities that have a soul that is alive and well and breathing. And residing within this soul is the innate capacity to be bearers of sustainable change, to be torchbearers in the never-ending journey of environmental responsibility.

Our urban conglomerations, with their conglomeration of various structures, hold the promise of a solar-enriched future, heralding an era in which our relationship with energy is not just responsible but also harmoniously symbiotic.

This future holds the promise of a solar-enriched future. And it is precisely this dance of light and storage, which is so fluidly intertwined, that gives the green vision that we have steadfastly yearned for its breath of life.

In this journey towards a greener world, our towns and cities are not just important; they are absolutely necessary. Let’s give them the ability to create, to use, and to become the green havens of tomorrow, where solar rays and innovative storage walk hand in hand, painting a brighter and cleaner future for all of us.

A Dutch company -Night battery storage

Of course, that has invented many types of solar power battery chargers and lights, mainly for developing countries that do not have a stable electric power system, has come up with a great product now named Waka-Waka-Power.

The WWP (WAKA-WAKA-POWER) has been designed with a joint venture from a team of microchip makers to make the WWP much slimmer and lighter than its predecessor, the WAKA-WAKA-LIGHT.

New technology is used in developing countries. Night battery storage

So, in my opinion, this is a great breakthrough for solar energy. Both in developing countries and to contribute towards the rest of the world’s green energy and Night battery storage, problems.

At the present time, the combined savings in energy costs must be phenomenal. Hence, if people used this charging device to charge up their mobile phones, Including the new-type phones from this sun-powered WWP solar charging machine.

This is truly a great invention by this Dutch company. So, in my opinion, the way forward will also eliminate the use of kerosene.

Give these points: the liquid fuel used by so many African families for their lighting at night causes so many burning accidents for the users.

Air-Con Service-Service your cars AIR-CON the weathers getting hotter ?

29th November 2024/in Air-conditioning in Halifax/by Eric Roberts

Air-Con Service Summer may be here at last.

Our weather here in the UK is forecast to get get hotter this Summer. The weather companies including the BBC have said that a high pressure system is due to start building.

Although motorists are feeling the pinch.With the economy and the price of fuel. It could be a nightmare stuck in your car with the kids screaming in the back.Just because they are too hot.

We all know the feeling. Especially on roads like the A14 and M11, busy holiday destinations. Where there are always traffic jams whatever time of day. You can be guaranteed of getting caught up in a huge snarl up.

If this happens and the temperature reaches 30 degrees. Thus, you will definitely need your cars Air-Con working. Also now is time to have your Air-Con serviced.

It is no good leaving it until you are on your journey.

If you are driving on the Continent and your AC fails. It could cost you up to 10 times the price as it does here in the UK. In France.

A friend of mine , (who lives there). Always waits until he visits the UK to have his Air-Con Service. Also buys tyres and batteries, because of the price difference.Especially, between here and the other European countries.

Just out of interest.The first air con- system for a car was invented back in 1939 by Packard, in America and was the first to be fitted in the factory in 1940. The first refrigerant originally used was highly damaging to the atmosphere, and a safer gas was later used in the 1960s.

Air-Con Service

Here at Pellonautocentre in Halifax GB. We have many customers that have an annual Air-Con service. This ensures that their car performs properly all the year round.It ensures that their system works without a hitch.

This will clean out all the dirt and germs that have built up in the course of time. It will also recharge the gas as necessary. The other option would be to leave yours on until there is a drop in the temperature and performance.

This way will leave a risk of leaving yours on until there is a problem, the problem may arise with the result in a bigger repair and service bill.

Either way, in between summers, you do still need to think about your air conditioning system, we recommend that you leave yours on all through the autumn and winter, this stops the gas pressure from falling.

Most of the public do not know

that you should leave the Air-Con on all year round, but I do understand that the cars now coming out with smaller and greener engines will use more fuel with the Air-Con Service in cooler weather.

Any bad smells coming from your air- con system should be checked at your nearest Autocentre for a Car Service, if you do not know of one in your area look online for your nearest Unipart Car Care Centre, where you will get free advice on what to do with your car Air-Con System.

In the Halifax area of West Yorkshire, you can have your Air-Con Service done by experts, and should be looking to pay around £45 for a complete Air-Con service.

Air Conditioning Problems: For this VW Golf ?

28th November 2024/1 Comment/in Air-conditioning in Halifax/by Eric Roberts

Air Conditioning Problems

As I have said many times, this is the time of year that we can be busy rectifying air conditioning problems on our customer’s cars. This year, we are enjoying a nice, warm, sunny summer. So, many of the new model cars have been fitted with air conditioning as standard.

Of course, then, the need for the air conditioner to work and cool the car interior has never been more important. Many of our customers also travel to continental Europe for their holidays. So a good cold-air conditioning system is imperative for a good and comfortable journey.

There are many reasons why your car’s air conditioning can fail you.

By and large, the most common is that the customer switches it off in the winter. Importantly, when summer comes, expect their air conditioning to work normally. But in over half the cases, their system will need a re-gas.

After the re-gas, other problems occur. The main problem is that if the air conditioning system is not used, then the system does not get lubricated. Consequently, this will dry out, causing common problems such as failed “O” rings and rubber hoses due to the drying-out process.

Sometimes we may get a customer who says that the car is blowing cool air into the cab but not cold air. This is usually when the air conditioning is set to high with the fans on high, but the car is still only blowing in cool air. We have all been there; you just can’t get the car cold enough?

What we do in this case is first check that the cooling fans are running

On the refrigerator condenser (the thing that looks like a radiator, usually at the front of the car’s engine), when the air conditioning system is switched on,. Naturally, checking out the condenser for any debris, such as dead leaves, dust, or insects, that may be clogging the condenser up, you would be surprised at what we find clogging the air conditioning condenser unit up?

We also check out the pollen filter, or cabin filter, Air Conditioning Problems

as it is sometimes known; if it is clogged up, we will replace it. We then check the pressures of the air con system to see if they confirm what they should be set at in the user’s manual. The condenser is a very important part of the air conditioning system.

It works the opposite way to the radiator (evaporator); it sits at the front of the car, and air is blown over the condenser, but the air soaks up the heat and then cools the refrigerant inside the air conditioning system. All this is done under high pressure; the air carries the heat out of your car, and the refrigerant converts it back to a liquid.

The liquid is then sent back to the evaporator (a low-pressure area), and the system moving from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area forces the refrigerant temperature to perform a rapid drop, and the cycle starts all over again, supercooling the cab of your vehicle.

VW Golf had- Air Conditioning Problems

On a day last week, we had a car presented to us with this exact Air Conditioning Problems. We carry out all repairs and other work on car air conditioning systems here at Pellon Autocentre in Halifax, UK. Subsequently, the air coming out of the cab cool but not super cool. The car was a 2010 VW Golf (only 4 years old). The

The customer left the car with us, and we proceeded to connect up our air conditioning machine and re-gas the car’s cooling system. The problem was spotted right away because the car started to leak liquid from the condenser at the front of the car.

After an examination of the condenser, we found out that the car had recently had a minor bump at the front end, which consequently damaged the air conditioning condenser. In earlier times, this is what happened to car radiators; nowadays, this is where the air conditioner condenser sits, and it takes the brunt of any damage from stones or small accidents.

However, this was one of our easier jobs to do, and we replaced the condenser with a new one, re-gassed the system, and the customer and his VW Golf went on their way, with a nice cold cabin in their car.

Scrap Tyre Dumping Returns

Scrap Tyre Dumping Returns

Of course, this is of no great surprise to me. So, in the trade, we refer to old tyres as “Casings”. It’s been a few years since the law clamped down on suspecting criminals who were doing anything to get rid of scrap casings. I will explain how it works. The old tyre that come of our customers car are “worthless”. When remoulding was popular, many of them were used to recycle the old casings into remoulds.

However many changes have brought an end to this in countries like the UK. Modern cars with many different tyre sizes have brought an end to car tyre remoulding. Cheap tyres from China have made remoulding into a lost cause. The remoulded tyres were costing as much as a new tyre. So it made no sense to buy remoulds when new tyres were available at a lower price.

Problems for tyre dealers

Consequently, this developed into a problem for us tyre dealers. However, companies set up to recycle the old tyres. Machines that ripped apart the old tires did this. Thus separating the rubber from the steel wire to recycle wherever possible. Rubber chippings from this process is going into the production of many new products. Including adding it to tarmac for new road building.

However, as in anything where money is concerned

criminals became involved. As a tyre retailer, we now have to pay at least £1 for every casing removed from our premises. The system was government-regulated, with various forms to fill in any time casings were removed. This worked well until the underworld became involved.

Criminals began forging documents

pretending to be legitimate casing collectors. So a truck load could easily be worth, say, £500 . The conmen would also ask for cash, which for some reason, the dealers paid. The old tyres were then disposed of in many different ways. In fact, a guy in West Yorkshire rented part of an airfield and just simply stacked the millions of old tyres on the old runway.

The pile became larger ang larger and so did the guys bank account. All his paperwork was forged and nobody thought anything about it!

He was eventually found out and sent to prison. However, this kind of thing never went away, right up to this latest find in Scotland.

Servicing Tips for Women

Servicing Tips for Women

EricRoberts‘s insight:

Most female customers are very confident when buying anything, including having their car repaired.We now even have more female

So in general then I think that the garages who try to deceive female customers off. Of course, will be dishonest and also try to pull the wool over the eyes of all their customers ? men and women. “THESE GARAGES ARE A FOOL TO THEMSELVES”. So, our lady customers know when they are not been told the truth.

Hence, if the price looks and sounds wrong, then it probably will be wrong.

We are not currently members of Unipart Car Care Centres. Having regular Servicing tips meetings and contacts with other garages.

It is our experience that ourfemaley customers make up 60% of our total customer base. So, if a garage wants to keep this very important customerbase,e then the ladies have to betreatedt in the correctmanner,r especially by our mechanics..

Female customers look for a trustworthy garage- Servicing Tips for Women

Believe me the ladies know what they are on about and would not go to the garage with their car that they did not trust. So, if they thought that they had been ripped off, they would not go back there a second time. Another addition to this story is that we now have an increasing number of female mechanics, with many Motor Mechanic Jobs going to females.

Incidentally, they are just as competent as male mechanics and are probably more sensible. A strange thing happened the other day? a lady customer who was in for an MOT test asked us the price of a service to go with the MOT test. The lady agreed to the price and we duly did the work;The lady was happy with the job and the price paid and went home satisfied. About an hourlater, the ladies husband rang us up and told us in no uncertain words that we had RIPPED his wife off. WOW.

HERE IS A SECOND OPINION…Servicing Tips for Women

“You don’t ‘suggest’ a price to the garage looking to do the work, whether you know a bit or not. There is a price for the part(s) and a price for the labour. The part(s) you can research, but they may be privy todiscounts, etc. that you aren’t due to trade links, and the labour charge you either agree to or don’t.

You could dispute the number of hours charged, but if you think it would take a shorter time, do it yourself. What a daft American study from three probably biassed and slightly bitter women who have fallen foul, in theiropinion, of the motor trade”…
