Each checker takes less than a minute to complete and gives you a clear indication of what may be causing the issue, along with the next steps. If needed, you can book directly with A.M. Engineering and send your results through to our team for a faster, more accurate assessment.

Our Qualifications and Reviews
We only use trained technicians and mechanics who have hands-on knowledge of how to fix problems related to clutches, gearboxes, engines and drive lines. Ideally, you want a clutch repair expert who has formal training like an NVQ (National Vocational Qualification), SVQ (Scottish Vocational Qualifications), City and Guilds or equivalent motor industry training.
Many customers also look at Google reviews and customer feedback before booking, and we believe that is the right approach when choosing a garage for important repairs. Our Google reviews are proudly on display throughout our website.
It is sensible to compare feedback carefully, especially where larger repairs, gearbox work or repeat faults are involved.
As important as having technical ability is, trust is equally important.
That matters to private motorists, fleet operators and business owners alike, because nobody wants to be left waiting on the wrong solution.
For this reason, we provide clarity in our communications, give honest recommendations, properly diagnose your problems and perform quality work that instills the customer with confidence in their vehicle repair.
Now that you know why A.M. Engineering is the right choice, let’s look at what you can expect in terms of cost.
