Services

Every job, priced before it starts.

Same system across the board: photo evidence, itemised price, your approval — then the work, then the 12-month warranty.

In detail

What each visit involves.

01
Logbook servicing & rego prep — Manufacturer-schedule logbook servicing that keeps your new-car warranty intact, stamped digitally. Book a check the week before your safety certificate is due and anything borderline gets fixed as a choice, not a surprise at the examiner’s — we’re not an approved inspection station, so we get the car ready and refer you straight to one.
02
Diagnostics — An hour on dealer-grade kit, live data not just fault codes, and a printed report in plain English. The diagnostic fee comes off the repair if we do the work.
03
Brakes, clutches & suspension — Photographed before, priced per corner, photographed after. Parts are OE-quality or better, and the 12-month warranty covers parts and labour both.

Four rules on the workshop wall.

◆ Show, don’t tell

Photo evidence for every recommended job. No photo, no charge.

◇ Approve before work

Itemised prices, approve or decline per line, from your phone.

◈ Fixed means fixed

12-month parts and labour warranty on everything we touch.

❖ Your car, your call

Decline anything and we’ll hand back the photos for a second opinion, no sulking.

Common questions

Asked over the counter weekly.

Will this affect my manufacturer warranty?

No — we service to the manufacturer’s logbook schedule with approved parts and stamp the digital service record, which is exactly what the warranty requires. You keep the dealer book value without the dealer bill.

How do the approval texts work?

Once the car’s inspected you get a link: each recommended job with its photo and price, and an approve/decline toggle per item. Nothing you decline is done, and the total updates as you tap.

Do you do safety certificates?

We’re not an approved inspection station, so we don’t issue the certificate itself — but we’ll get the car ready and refer you straight to one nearby, and fix anything that would fail before you go.

That noise isn’t going to fix itself.

Most inspections are photographed and priced before noon — the approval link does the rest.
