My husband and I have been using the services of Kropps Mechanical for 17 years. Graham, Scott and Annette are always approachable, professional, yet friendly, and we have always found their work to be second to none. We cannot recommend Kropps Mechanical enough. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Dear Graham, Annette, Scott and the team at Kropps Finding a good mechanic is like finding a needle in a haystack- someone you can trust, who tells it like it is, but in a kind, understanding way. Really appreciate your work!!

Recently brought my car in for a major service and I am very happy with the work that was done. Being an older car that she is there was a hiccup of some items unbeknownst to me that desperately needed to be worked on that I wasn't entirely notified for. However, this further cements to me that Graham and the Kropps team care more for my safety and the price was still well under what was quoted. Thankyou will be seeing you in future.

As there are so many belts and hoses in your vehicle performing a myriad of functions, we want to pass on some basic knowledge of what belts and hoses are.

Coolant Hose:

Connects the radiator to the engine to cool engine fluids.

Knowing the common belt and hose issues which can arise will help you identify what issue you may be facing:

Overheating:

There may be a crack or hole in the coolant hoses.

Belt Wear:

Usually identified by inspection, belt wear can result in a broken timing or serpentine belt.

Squealing From the Engine:

This sound may be a broken or worn fan belt.
