Cedar Garage has invested heavily in having the right equipment to do the job from wheel free ramps with no pillars to protect customer’s car doors from accidental dents, to having the right bush and bearing pullers for steering and suspension work. Having the right tools to hand not only speeds up the job, meaning the customer pays less, but also that the job is done properly. Many other Garages claim that there are more ways to skin a cat when they don’t have the right tools, but often the job is bodged and the customer knows nothing about it until premature failure of components happens because of poor fitting. This is why we stress that the quality of our workmanship adds value for money.
Tyre Changer and Wheel Balancer
Tyre Changing: We replaced our tyre changing equipment in 2004 to the very latest automated equipment which can deal with all types of tyres including the newer low profile tyres fitted to expensive alloy wheels. We also purchased the latest computerised balancer to ensure your wheels and tyres go out correctly balanced.
Diagnostics: With all the sophisticated electronics on recent vehicles – even the simplest cars have this now – it is essential to have the right equipment to diagnose faults. Otherwise mistakes can be made leading to incorrect and often expensive parts being fitted unnecessarily. There is no one tool that will cover all vehicles on the road so we have invested in a number of diagnostic computers enabling us to read most vehicle systems.
Sun Modis
Hanatech Ultrascan
Supertracker 4 Wheel Lazer Alignment
The Sun Modis covers most of our European cars to a very high and professional level and is regularly updated to cover newer vehicles.
The Hanatech Ultrascan was purchased this year to fill the gap with Asian cars as it covers Japanese and Korean vehicles as well as giving us better coverage on some European cars with its CAN Bus capabilities.
Our latest acquisition is the Opus Tech Tool, which takes us to new levels with Scandinavian cars giving us manufactures level communication for intricate diagnostics & problem solving.
Supertracker 4 Wheel Laser Alignment we can now carry out accurate 4 wheel alignment to simple tracking using the latest laser alignment system. Most people assume that when a car pulls to one side that the tracking is out this is a fallacy it is caused by the rear wheel alignment usually when the rear wheels are clipped on the kerb on a sharp bend, with our equipment we can either re-adjust with 4 wheel alignment or compensate so the vehicle runs exactly as the manufacturer intended and save you money by getting the most wear out of your tyres.
