With car manufacturers now producing vehicles with advance and never seen before technology, sometimes it can be harder to find any problems or potential problems with newer cars than with older cars. Using engine diagnostic equipment, our trained technicians at McLaren Accident Repair & MOT Centre in Portsmouth can diagnose current and potential problems for all makes and models of vehicles.
With incorrect alignment, your car could suffer from unnecessary tyre wear, misaligned steering response and could need constant correcting to travel in a straight line. It could also potentially be dangerous and affect your vehicle stopping time. All modern cars are built for comfort, economy and performance.
Brakes along with tyres tend to be the most common parts on a car that requires replacing with use. The braking system contains various components located around the vehicle, with discs and pads behind each wheel.
If your brakes are squeaking or the pedal is giving a spongy feeling or the car is vibrating when slowing down using the brakes, it could be that you require changing the brake discs, brake pads or there could be a leak in your braking system.If your vehicle is dragging to one side when braking, it could indicate that you have a seized mechanical or hydraulic component within the braking system.

At McLaren Accident Repair & MOT Centre in Portsmouth, we help our customers resolve their clutch and flywheel problems by providing helpful, honest and accurate advice. We use only branded parts and ensure all clutch and flywheel replacement jobs are carried out to the highest standards.
Cause: Loose or worn engine mountings, misalignment of engine to gearbox, uneven operation of clutch arm, oil contaminated facings, defective pressure plate, defective driven plate, scored or glazed flywheel or worn spigot bearing.Symptoms: Engine accelerates without giving a corresponding increase in vehicle speed, burning smells, the vehicle will not drive up steep hills.

We can help! Most vehicles on the road are now fitted with an air-conditioning system. Manufacturers recommend that an air-con system should be refilled with gas and lubricated every 2 years. This ensures the correct and optimum operation of the air-con system. An aircon system that has not been fully charged will be less effective and therefore will have to work harder, and put extra strain on the engine.

Would not even give them 1 star!!!!! Extremely unprofessional, had my car booked in for MOT today, had no call to tell me my car was ready to collect or even to tell me whether it had failed or passed, they closed the business with my car locked inside. Would not recommend at all!! Have tried to call the mobile number on the website many times with no answer or response. Disgraceful.

I've used McLaren (Acorn) for over a decade. They're very professional and good value. I've had work carried out on various cars, along with MOTs and had tyres changed. All the staff and the Manager are extremely helpful. Thanks.

Booked my car in for an MOT at short notice. The guys were able to MOT and make recommendations. Only minor work needing doing. I would 100% use their services again in the future. Very reasonable value too. Thanks for squeezing me in at short notice.

I have used this garage for quite a few years. Maybe not the cheapest but they do the odd little job for free. Case in point: today I took the car in because of a noise (normally associated with bearings wearing). In fact it was a bit of plastic caught up and a bit of looseness. All fixed for free. Previously I have had a bulb replaced for free. I have also overheard a lady being told that there was not a problem with her vehicle - they did not make up a problem just to get some work.
