How It Works
Sniff Test
We run a chemical test on your coolant to check for exhaust gases—the absolute proof of a blown gasket.
Engine Strip
We carefully remove the top half of the engine (the cylinder head) to expose the damaged gasket.
Skim & Clean
We send the cylinder head off to be precision machined perfectly flat so the new gasket seals tightly.
Rebuild & Flush
We install the new gasket, rebuild the engine, and flush the oil and coolant to remove any contamination.

VRS are excellent !! The receptionist was very polite and helpful, explaining everything clearly. The service was quick, and I was satisfied with the work provided.
The staff were professional and helpful. My car is a Mercedes and the air suspension has been totally replaced by the VRS team at a reasonable cost and very efficiently. Really good service ranging from the reception guys to the mechanics would definitely recommend to anyone
As well as a service I had asked for a tyre replacement & agreed the extra work to overcome misplacement of my locking wheel nut key. VRS later found my key (in a hidden compartment ) + advised the tyre replacement was unnecessary, saving me between £200 & £300 for which I am most grateful.
Top set of professionals. Had an urgent issue with my car that needed to be investigated and addressed at the last minute.
They managed to squeeze me in at the last minute and complete repairs in a day with constant updates and communication all the way through. Well priced services with quick turnaround.
