Workshop services
Garage work we cover
Most of what walks through the door is routine wear, warning lights, or “something doesn’t feel right.” Below is the short version — the services page goes into detail.
Steering & suspension
Knocks, tyre scrub, or wandering steering — traced to the part that’s actually gone, not a shopping list of parts.
Tyre services
Fitting, balance, punctures where repairable, pressures — including the spare when we can get at it.
Oil & fluids
Oil and filter to spec, plus a look at coolant and other levels while the bonnet’s up.
Engine diagnostics
Codes are a hint, not a verdict — we pair the scanner with under-bonnet checks before we recommend parts.
Air & cabin filters
Replaced when dirty or due — not automatically every visit unless your mileage says so.
Battery & electrics
Slow starts or odd electrics — battery and charging tested before we sell you a new unit.
Bodywork & trim
Bumps, cracked trim, mirror housings — tidied up sensibly for the age of the car.
Exhaust
Blowing sections, mounts, lambda issues — repair where it’s worth it, replace where it isn’t.
Gearbox & transmission
Manual or auto — noises, slips, leaks assessed properly before major strip-down.
Wheel alignment
Tracking after suspension work or if the car pulls — saves tyres and steadies the drive.
Pre-NCT check
Lights, brakes, tyres, and the usual suspects — so you’re not booking a retest for something small.
How we work
What you can expect
We’re a small team — you talk to the same people who book the work and often turn the spanners. No scripts, no mystery charges.
- Straight advice If it can wait, we’ll say so. If it shouldn’t go back on the road, we’ll be clear about that too.
- Repairs that match the car Older runabout or newer daily — we don’t treat every job like a main-dealer invoice.
- Work done once Correct torque, decent parts where it counts, and a job you’re not back for in a fortnight.
- No filler on the sheet You see what we’re proposing before we order parts. Nothing “just in case” unless you agree.
- Local to Kinnegad Handy for Meath and Westmeath — same workshop, same approach.
- Kept in the loop If a part’s delayed or we find something else, we ring — we don’t leave you guessing till collection.
NCT preparation
Before your NCT
Plenty of cars fail on bulbs, tyres, brakes, and suspension items you’d spot early with the right check.
We run through the usual problem areas — lights, visibility, steering and suspension, brakes, tyres, and other safety-related points — and note what needs doing before you head to the test centre.
- Worth it if your test date is coming up or you’ve just bought the car
- Often cheaper than a retest and a second trip
- We’ll separate must-fix from can-wait so you can decide
