Ian Bright Motor Engineer

4.7/5

Ian Bright Motor Engineers is a friendly independent garage situated in a beautiful countryside location in Halnaker, Chichester. Established since 2013, our small team are dedicated to delivering you the highest levels of customer service. Our workshop is fully equipped and we cater for all makes and models of vehicles, offering our customers a comprehensive range of repairs, maintenance work, servicing and MOT’s. Owner Ian has over 47 years of experience, having started his 5 year City & Guilds apprenticeship back in the 70’s. City and Guilds qualifications are a lot more intense and labour intensive compared to the more modern qualifications available to mechanics nowadays, and we were taught how to fix and repair parts as opposed to simply replacing them, which is standard practice in most places today. I have experience working with older classic cars, alongside newer more modern ones too, and no job is too big or too small for us to take on! Most of my customers have been with me for years and know that by choosing my company to undertake works on their pride and joy, they will receive fantastic workmanship alongside a personalised service. We would never advise you doing anything to your vehicle which was unnecessary as some garages do purely for profit, priding ourselves on our honest core values. My son, who was trained in-house alongside me, has branched out into classic and vintage race cars and is fast gaining a fantastic reputation for his first-class trimming, and my eldest grandson Lewis is now working with me and is undergoing his apprenticeship too. Three more grandsons are also looking to come on board and keep this garage running with a strong family presence.

Frequently asked questions about ABS brakes

What is an ABS brakes failure?

If ABS brakes fail, the wheels may lock up during braking. This can cause a loss of control and be very dangerous, especially on slippery surfaces.

Is it okay to drive with the ABS lights on?

No. The ABS warning light indicates a problem with the braking system and driving is not recommended. It's important to have it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible.

What’s the difference between ABS and normal brakes?

ABS stops the wheels from locking up during braking – this enhances control and reduces stopping distances. Normal breaks don’t have this feature.

Is ABS braking good or bad?

Having to emergency break is never good, but if it happens, your ABS system will improve vehicle control and safety. This makes it an important safety feature of your vehicle.

How much does it cost to repair ABS brakes?

The cost to repair ABS brakes depends on the vehicle and the extent of the repair.

If the ABS warning light stays on, get your car checked by a mechanic as soon as possible. This light signals a problem with the system and should be looked at as a priority.

How often should ABS brakes be serviced?

ABS brakes should be inspected as part of your regular service – every 12,000 miles or 12 months.

Can you drive with a broken ABS sensor?

What happens if you don’t fix ABS brakes?

If your ABS is left un-fixed, it can lead to loss of control during braking, increased stopping distances, and a higher risk of accidents.

Can I fix ABS brakes myself?

Don’t attempt to fix your ABS brakes yourself. They are complex and should be repaired by a professional mechanic.

Is ABS repair covered under warranty?

ABS repairs may be included in your warranty, depending on the terms. Check with your warranty provider to see if they are included.
