Every photograph here was taken on one of our own jobs, on a phone, in whatever light there was. Nothing is bought in from a stock library, which is why some of them have a wheelie bin in shot.

What worn brakes actually look like
People hear “your discs are lipped” and picture something dramatic. Drag the handle and see what we are actually looking at when we say a set needs doing.
Drag anywhere across the picture, or use the arrow keys once it has focus. The whole block is the control, not just the handle.

Why these are ours
Taken on the job
On a phone, in daylight, by whoever had clean-ish hands. No lighting rig and no staging.
Plates blurred first
Before anything is published, every time. If in doubt the plate is cropped out of the frame entirely.
We ask the owner
Even with the plate obscured. Somebody’s driveway is their home, and nobody has ever said no rudely.
Fewer, but real
A short gallery of actual work beats a long one of somebody else’s. A stock engine bay proves nothing at all.
What the owners said after
Where these were done
Most of the jobs above were within twenty minutes of Alvaston. The vans go further when the diary allows, and the roadside call-outs go wherever the car stopped.
