Wheel Alignment

Is your car pulling to one side?
Are your tyres not wearing in a uniform manner?

If the above is correct - or you have not checked your vehicles tracking for some time it may be time to book a 3D wheel alignment service with SMS Guildford.

Your wheels maybe incorrectly aligned and correct alignment is important as it reduces friction on the road helping to optimise your vehicles fuel consumption and tyre life.

Additionally incorrect wheel alignment may cause your car to "pull" to one side and adversely impact the handling and safety of your vehicle. Your car's wheel tracking can easily be altered by hitting some potholes or kerbs - so an annual check makes sense if you want to ensure your car's steering and suspension is correctly aligned and ensuring your tyres do not wear prematurely or unevenly.

Our 3d wheel alignment service for all types of cars and vans includes:

• The most precise wheel alignment for your vehicle
• Alignment adjusted to the manufacturers original specification
• Far higher degree of accuracy than conventional methods
• You will see the alignment reading on the screen in reception
• Good alignment will show as a green area in the green zone on the screen
• The SMS wheel tracking computer records the readings each time you have your wheels aligned

Brake System Servicing

The efficiency of your braking system in your car or light commercial vehicle is of paramount importance to ensure your safety when driving.

The braking system is the most important active safety component in a vehicle and represents a significant cause of MOT failures when a vehicle is tested.

Don't wait until your brakes become defective and possibly lead to an accident - check your brakes regularly and prevent problems before they occur.

You can now book your appointment online for a free brakes check service . We will advise you on the condition of your vehicle's brakes.

The examination will take approximately 10 - 15 minutes and will include the digital measurement of wear on break pads, shoes, brake discs and drums against the manufacturer's specifications.

Car and Van Diagnostics

Vehicle diagnostic servicing is often the true test of the expertise and experience of a garage - those intermittent fault codes maybe inconsequential or a sign of a major problem.

You do not have to go to a main dealer to investigate why a warning light has appeared on your dashboard - SMS Guildford have all the latest diagnostic software and fault code readers for thousands of vehicle models to quickly check what is wrong with your car or van - and equally determine if the fault is real or just a simple sensor that has gone faulty.

Our staff have been working on cars way before the current advent of sophisticated electronic engine control units - so actually have real knowledge of the workings of mechanical and electronic systems - so we are not just reliant on fault readouts and diagnostic tools if the problems are more than skin deep.

Due to the volume and diversity of cars and vans that we service each year - literally thousands! - we have a reservoir of knowledge and experience which is unlikely to be matched by a franchised "Fast Fit" garage where staff training is limited to plugging in a diagnostic tool and reading an output from a screen! We use diagnostic tools to supplement actual knowledge of vehicle fault finding - so if you want the job done properly - come to the most experienced automotive technicians in the Guildford and surrounding Surrey area.
