Health Checks, Repairs and Maintenance
It can be costly to keep your vehicle on the road. That’s why at BlackMountain UK, we have built great partnerships with UK parts suppliers and we are able to pass on the savings to you.
What We Offer You…
On average most unexpected repair bills cost £617 according to RAC findings.
On all repairs your vehicle will receive a vehicle health check – like a pre-mot inspection.
Giving you insight to your vehicles up coming repairs or preventative maintenance.
Health Checks
-
Tyres (tread depth, pressure, damage)
Brakes (pad thickness, fluid condition)
Lights, wipers, battery health
Fluid levels (oil, coolant, brake fluid, washer fluid)
Exhaust, suspension, and steering components
Diagnostic scan (for fault codes)
BlackMountain UK colour-code the results:
✅ Green: OK
🟡 Amber: Needs attention soon
🔴 Red: Urgent repair needed
A vehicle health check (VHC) is a quick, multi-point inspection that gives you a snapshot of your car’s condition.
Repairs
-
Replacing worn brake pads or discs
Fixing oil leaks or coolant leaks
Changing a dead alternator or starter motor
Fixing gearbox/clutch faults
Suspension and steering issues
Replacing a failed DPF, EGR valve, or turbo
Repairs often happen after a fault is detected – either through symptoms (e.g., strange noises, warning lights) or during an inspection.
-
Delaying repairs can make things worse, cost more later, and even make the car unsafe or illegal to drive.
Repairs are needed when something breaks, fails, or wears out unexpectedly.
Maintenance
-
Oil and filter changes
Brake checks and fluid top-ups
Tyre inspections and rotations
Timing belt/chain replacement
Battery checks
Air, cabin, fuel filter changes
Coolant, transmission and steering fluid checks
-
Usually every 6 to 12 months, or based on mileage (e.g. every 10,000–15,000 miles)
Based on your car's manufacturer service schedule (found in the manual)
-
Skipping maintenance can lead to expensive breakdowns and reduce your car’s resale value.
Maintenance refers to regular, scheduled services and tasks designed to prevent problems and extend the life of your vehicle.
