ABOUT US
Arnold Clark Kirkcaldy offers a range of specialist services, all carried out by a team of highly trained FIAT experts.
Every time you visit our workshop, we will give your vehicle a health check to keep your vehicle's engine running smoothly, helping you to avoid potentially expensive repairs further down the line. We can also check your tyre pressure and air conditioning fluid levels, to help keep you comfortable on the road.
When you bring your vehicle in for a Service or MOT, you can be sure that we will only use Original and Approved FIAT parts, keeping your FIAT running like new for longer and helping to protect its resale value.
If you’d like to customise your vehicle further, our knowledgeable and friendly team are on hand to help you choose from a range of FIAT branded accessories, so you can find the right part to fit your model.
Our team at Arnold Clark Kirkcaldy know how much your vehicle means to you, which is why we want to help keep your FIAT car or van in top condition with the very best specialist attention.
What We Do
WHY YOUR FIAT BRAKE PADS NEED REPLACING
It probably isn’t something you consider on a day-to-day basis, but your FIAT's brakes are one feature that should always be fully functioning for your safety and others.
Signs that your brake pads need replacing:
- Are your brakes as responsive as they should be?
- Is your vehicle leaking an oily fluid?
- Is there a grinding sound when you break?
WHY YOUR FIAT BRAKE PADS & DISCS NEED REPLACING
When you apply your brakes, brake fluid is pushed around an enclosed system which brings the brake pads into contact with the brake disc, slowing you down.
Signs that your front brake pads & discs need replacing:
- Does the brake pedal feel soft or stiffer than usual?
- Ever felt your brake pedal or car judder?
- Does your car steer to one side when you brake?
WHY IS THE TIMING BELT IMPORTANT?
Your timing belt (sometimes referred to as your cambelt) helps control the moving parts in your engine, including the crankshaft, camshaft and valves. It’s made of a rubber-based compound and can deteriorate through general wear and tear.
Your timing belt is a relatively small part, but it’s vital for a smooth-running engine. It helps to stop the moving parts of your engine from colliding into each other. If your timing belt fails, you may need to have your whole engine replaced.
FIAT TYRE CHECK
Have you checked your tyres?
As the driver, you're responsible for the condition of your tyres, so it's good to know the basic criteria they should meet:
- All tyres in good condition, free from any cuts, tears, lumps or bulges
- Tread depth at least 1.6mm around the whole tyre, and across 75% of the width. Fiat technicians will recommend replacing tyres when the tread reaches 3mm to avoid ever reaching the lower limit
- Pressures in line with FIAT’s recommendations
- Appropriate and compatible tyres for the vehicle and its wheels. You also must not mix different types of tyre on the same axle.
If your tyres fall below these standards, you could face a penalty of up to £2,500 per illegal tyre, plus points on your license. Book a tyre check with Fiat today, to avoid any issues.
THE "MUST-HAVE" SERVICE
Tip-top. Mint. Ship-shape – just the sort of condition you want your FIAT to stay in. So be sure it has its regular Scheduled FIAT Car Service.
The interval between services varies from vehicle to vehicle – it could be a length of time or a number of miles.
When you bring your FIAT in for servicing, it’s guaranteed specialist attention, including:
- A full diagnostic review and health-check
- Change of oil and oil filter
- Top-ups of all fluids
- Brake, steering and other safety checks
- Visual checks of tyres, lights, indicators, mirrors and wipers
- Environmental checks – pollen filter and exhaust
- Additional items required for your vehicle based on its age and mileage e.g. air filters, spark plugs or brake fluid.
You can find full details of exactly what needs doing when in the FIAT Warranty and Maintenance Handbook that comes with your new FIAT.
