Exhaust Repair & Replacement
A damaged or corroded exhaust system affects your vehicle's performance, fuel economy, emissions, and noise levels. It will also result in an MOT failure. Northumberland's wet winters and salted roads accelerate exhaust corrosion, making regular inspection important for vehicles driven in Bedlington and the surrounding area.
We repair and replace all exhaust components at our workshop on 70 Glebe Rd, Bedlington:
Front pipes and downpipes
The first section after the exhaust manifold. Corrosion and cracking here affects emissions readings and causes loud exhaust noise.
Catalytic converters
Essential for passing the MOT emissions test. We supply and fit replacement catalytic converters for all common makes and models.
Centre sections and silencer boxes
Middle sections that reduce exhaust noise. Rust-through here causes a loud drone and will fail the MOT noise test.
Rear backboxes and tailpipes
The final section of the exhaust system. Replacement restores quiet running and a clean exit for exhaust gases.
Exhaust manifolds and gaskets
A blown manifold gasket causes a ticking or hissing noise on startup and leaks exhaust gases into the engine bay.
Flexi joints and broken clamps
Flexible joints absorb engine movement. When they crack or split, exhaust gases leak and the system vibrates against the underside of the vehicle.
Where a section of exhaust has a small hole or crack, welding can often provide a cost-effective repair without replacing the entire component. We assess every exhaust and recommend the most practical and economical solution.
Exhaust Emissions & MOT
The MOT emissions test measures the gases coming out of your exhaust. Any leak before the catalytic converter will skew the readings and cause a failure, even if the engine itself is running correctly. A corroded exhaust section, blown gasket, or cracked flexi joint can all let unfiltered gases escape.
If your vehicle has failed its MOT on exhaust emissions or noise, bring it to our Bedlington workshop. We will inspect the full system, identify the fault, and carry out the repair so you can pass the retest. We also offer pre-MOT exhaust inspections if you suspect a problem before your test date.
