To stop a car, the brakes have to get rid of that kinetic energy. They do so by using the force of friction to convert that kinetic energy into heat. When you press your foot down on the brake pedal, a connected lever pushes a piston into the master cylinder, which is filled with hydraulic fluid. That hydraulic fluid gets squirted along a system of pipes into other, wider cylinders positioned next to the brakes on each wheel and make the car stop. Depending on the car, it usually takes us 30-45 minutes to check your car's brake system -ensuring the maximum efficiency- and do a brake change hassle free and fast. We guarantee the maximum efficiency and long life of your brakes using top brands brakes.

The MOT test (Ministry of Transport, or simply MOT) is an every two year test of vehicle safety, roadworthiness aspects and exhaust emissions required in Cyprus for most vehicles over four years old used on any way defined as a road in the Road Traffic Act.

A pre-purchase vehicle inspection focuses on the car’s mechanical condition and performance, using professional diagnostics to scan for hidden faults, engine issues, transmission problems, and electronic system errors. It helps uncover problems you can’t see, giving you a clear picture of the vehicle’s true condition so you can make a confident, informed purchase.

The refrigerant resides in the a/c system. The a/c compressor initiates the high-side of the system where it is compresses the refrigerant into a high-pressure state causing it to liquefy. It travels through the high-pressure lines to the condenser. The condenser which is similar to a small radiator, puts the liquid in contact with fresh air on the outside of the vehicle, which absorbs the heat from the liquid. It then flows into the expansion valve where it is restricted and becomes gaseous into the low-pressure side of the a/c system. Then it flows into the receiver accumulator to remove and collect unwanted moisture and impurities. The clean gaseous refrigerant then travels through the tubing into the evaporator. Refrigerant in its gaseous state is now able to absorb heat from the air passing through the evaporator fins, leaving behind the cooler air. Fans blow this cooler dry air into the car’s cabin. The refrigerant travels back to the compressor in the suction hose of the a/c system to get compressed back into the high-pressure gas and begin the process again.

An automotive battery is a rechargeable battery that supplies electrical current to a motor vehicle. Its main purpose is to feed the starter, which starts the engine. Once the engine is running, power for the car's electrical systems is supplied by the alternator. Before a battery change, we do some essential tests to the battery life and alternator output to eliminate the the possibility of any other problem.
