CAR REPAIRS AND SERVICING
CAR AIR CONDITIONING
The process of Re Gassing your Air Con will take approximately 1.15hrs .
What You Can Expect From an Air Conditioning Service
At Simon Graeme Auto Service Centre, we offer a comprehensive air conditioning service that includes:
- Replenishing refrigerant and oils to the manufacturer’s recommended levels
- The expelling of air and moisture from the system
- A check of the system as a whole for things such as leaks
- Ensuring the temperature output is correct
- Cleaning the air-con, if necessary, to eliminate odours
Maintenance of your air conditioning system is essential not only to keep you cool but it also helps to filter out pollen, pollutants and bacteria in the air to ensure the quality of the air in your cabin is not compromised.
We offer a complete range of services to ensure your system is running cleanly and safely. These range from air-con check and re-charge and anti-bacterial clean to a full leak test and repair.
BRAKES
Without a good, working set of brakes, you can leave yourself and your passengers in serious danger. We recommend all our customers check their brakes every 15,000 miles to ensure that they’re still in good condition.
Brakes wear down over time and there are a number of ways to spot if your brakes require repair or replacement: high-pitched noises under motion or braking, feeling a vibration when braking, very little resistance or a ‘spongey’ feeling through the brake pedal. All of these are signs of various issues with the brakes that could endanger you or other road users when driving – if you encounter any of the above then be sure to contact us immediately.
We offer a range of services that includes an inspection of the brake pad, discs, and fluid levels along with repairs. Our service will help restore your brakes to near-factory standard and enable you to drive safely again.
BRAKE DISC SKIMMING
We have a State of the Art Pro-Cut On Car Skimming Machine which can skim brakes from a Ferrari to a Mini.
Brake discs can encounter a number of issues including vibrations, loss in effectiveness, corrosion and squeaking under braking.
If you are encountering any of these problems with your braking system then brake disc skimming may be the answer, making your brakes work like new.

BATTERIES
If your car is taking longer to start, won’t start in the cold or in any conditions or has evidence of corrosion then your car may need a replacement battery.
We only stock top-quality batteries which deliver the performance your car needs for cold starts and the increased electrical demands of the modern vehicle.
Our expert team can find the right battery for your car’s needs to ensure your vehicle starts right every time.
CLUTCH REPLACEMENT
Your clutch enables you to connect and control the power of the engine to your gearbox – and then to create motion. It’s essential that it is working correctly and that wear is monitored before your clutch causes serious problems.
We can carry out a comprehensive check of your clutch system to put your mind at rest. If yours does need replacing, you can rely on us and our experience to supply and fit your car with a high-quality clutch at affordable prices.
DIESEL TUNING
Tuning your diesel engine can result in better drivability, increased torque, increased BHP, improved MPG as well as eliminating dead spots. If you have a diesel vehicle that you are interested in having tuned, we can advise the best tuning service for your needs.
DIESEL PARTICULATE REGENERATION
Simon Graeme Ltd offers you a full Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) cleaning service in Hampsthwaite, Harrogate.
To improve engine efficiency and to meet the required standards for exhaust gas emissions on modern diesel engines, manufacturers are now fitting Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) to modern diesel engines. These filters are designed to trap the gases and pollutants emitted from the engine before they can get out into the environment. This is also an important element of the MOT test, because if your car’s emissions are too high, it will fail the test.
Under certain driving conditions the DPF will be cleaned by the vehicle itself; this is normally if you drive at sustained speeds on the motorway giving the filter the opportunity to regenerate itself. However, the majority of us are mainly urban drivers which means that the filter isn’t given the opportunity to clean itself and it may eventually block, reducing the vehicle’s performance and increasing the amount of emissions that escape. You may notice a reduction in power or black smoke coming out of the exhaust. If you do, get in touch with Simon Graeme Ltd today.
Simon Graeme Ltd in Hampsthwaite, Harrogate, can solve this problem for you by using the latest, powerful DPF cleaning technology from Fortron. By adding Fortron DPF Treatment to the vehicle fuel tank, it will remove all the soot and ash from the filter and restore it to almost as good as new – it’s a lot cheaper than replacing the filter.
DIAGNOSTICS
Determining what is wrong with a car today is not a matter of guesswork. A modern, fully updated diagnostic computer can communicate with your car’s control computers and determine exactly which of a thousand tiny parts isn’t doing its job properly.
Our modern car diagnostic equipment can determine which error codes are causing issues with your vehicle and our team of car diagnostic experts can quickly identify what the solution will be and ensure the correct part is used to repair your vehicle.
ECU REMAPPING
Modern engines are controlled by an electronic ‘brain’ known as the Engine Control Unit (ECU) which determines how your engine behaves.
If your engine is performing poorly or you experience hesitation at low revs, having your ECU remapped can address these issues. This often results in greater and more constant power and torque so having your ECU remapped can be a great way to get more out of your engine.
ENGINE MANAGEMENT
Modern engines are controlled by an electronic ‘brain’ which determines how your engine should behave and checks that key components of your car are working properly, the system that monitors this is called the Engine Control Unit (ECU).
If your engine management light is on, it requires expert knowledge and the latest equipment to help determine what is wrong. Our team here at Simon Graeme can determine what is wrong with your vehicle and fix the issue quickly and efficiently.
EXHAUSTS
If your car’s exhaust system is not functioning as it should, you won’t pass your MOT.
More importantly, your exhaust system keeps your car running smoothly, quietly, and with a minimum of pollution. Problems with the exhaust can even make your car run poorly, and harm your fuel efficiency.
We can inspect, test and make any necessary repairs to truck, van, motorbike or car exhausts quickly and efficiently.
FUEL CONTAMINATION DRAIN-OFF
If you put the wrong fuel into your car it can cause irreparable damage to your engine and end up costing you thousands of pounds.
If you do fill up with the incorrect fuel in the Harrogate area, give us a call before you turn on your engine or try to drive away so that we can collect your vehicle, effectively drain the incorrect fuel and dispose of it safely.
CAR GEARBOX REPAIRS
Whether your gearbox needs maintenance, repair or replacement – it’s important to keep it in good working order for safety and performance.
Here at Simon Graeme, we can repair almost any gearbox to ensure your vehicle is safe and your gear changes are as smooth as possible.
CAR GEARBOX RECONDITIONING
Your gearbox is one of the most complex components of your vehicle and is put under enormous stresses and strains throughout the lifetime of your vehicle.
If your gearbox fails, it may cost thousands to replace it with a new gearbox, however, we may be able to recondition your gearbox as a cheaper alternative to replacing your gearbox entirely.
MODIFICATIONS
Modifications can make your vehicle look unique and perform better. Staying safe and legal is extremely important so all modifications must be carried out by a competent engineer.
If you’re interested in modifying your car or have bought a modified car, our team can advise you on all modifications from lights, wheels and tyres to in-car entertainment.
SAFETY CHEKS
We offer a comprehensive range of safety checks for all types of vehicles including cars, vans and motorbikes.
Our highly-skilled team will check a variety of vehicle components such as your lights, brakes, tyres, engine oil and other key areas to keep you protected and worry-free on the road.
We strive to keep motorists in the Harrogate region safe and ensure your car is in the best physical condition by conducting safety checks to the highest standard.
SHOCK ABSORBERS
Shock absorbers help your vehicle to ride properly over challenging surfaces, such as potholes. A worn or damaged shock absorber can cause at best an uncomfortable ride and at worst a vehicle that is potentially unsafe to drive due to compromised handling.
We offer a full inspection and performance test of your shock absorbers. We will repair or replace key components with quality parts to ensure optimum performance and safety for your vehicle.
Not only are shock absorbers essential to the safety and comfort of your driving, but if they start to fail not only can they impair the car’s performance but they may lead to you failing your MOT.
WELDING
At Simon Graeme we offer you competitively-priced welding work done to the highest standard by our experienced mechanics. Our repairs look great and stand the test of time.
