“Overall I am happy with the service but there are 2 points I would like to raise.
1. The collection of my car cost me £50 to the driver.
2. Following 4 unsuccessful attempts to obtain a drive-shaft the garage used my own spare which cost me £34! This means I paid £84 over and above the fee charged by yourselves.
I was personally collected this morning to go and get my car back and I am quite happy with that. Good service from friendly people but dearer than expected.“

“Capital MOT were great, can’t fault the service. Accepted the job straight away, gave a really good quote for my timing belt replacement, just a scheduled replacement based on manufacturers guidelines. Wasn’t actually aware of this until I had the car serviced at a large national chain last week and they told me that it was due. Quoted me double the price than Capital MOT and Click mechanic so absolutely buzzing with that as quite a big job. Got a call 2 days before our booking to confirm when they would be showing up at my house to collect the car, gave details of the job they’d be doing and also reassured me that they would have a look to make sure everything was in good working order (drive train etc.) and give me a call if there was any recommended works. Arrived promptly first thing in the morning on the day of the appointment and returned the car just after lunch. Haven’t been out to test it just yet but hoping all is well, they managed to get the card back to me and parked so assuming it’s running well.“

What does a Driveshaft do?

On rear-wheel drive (and all-wheel drive) cars it is the driveshaft that transfers the power from the engine to rear wheels to be distributed over the two rear wheels. In some cars the driveshaft connects to a transaxle (a gearbox and differential mounted at the back of the car), but in most cars it transfers the power from the gearbox attached to the engine at the front to a differential at the back.

How do you know there is something wrong with the Driveshaft?

When the car vibrates whilst driving, noticeable through the steering wheel.
When there is a thudding or clunking noise coming from underneath or the back of the car.
When there is a squeaking noise coming from underneath or the back of the car.
When the car does not move at all.

When should you consider a Driveshaft replacement?

While the driveshaft itself is usually not prone to wear over time, it can get damaged. Usually due to an accident or because the shaft was damaged will driving over a bump or through a pothole. In many cases like this the car becomes practically undriveable with severe knocking noises.

Addressing issues with the drive shaft timely and professionally is key to prevent further, more expensive, damage to the car. Should you experience problems with driveshaft then it is advisable to have it inspected and, if necessary, have the driveshaft replaced. Always service the driveshaft as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer.
