What we do, and what it means

01

Log book service

A log book service is simply the service your car's manufacturer says it needs at each age and mileage — the checks, replacements and adjustments listed in the little book in your glovebox. We follow that schedule to the letter, use fluids and parts that meet the manufacturer's specs, and stamp your log book so there's a complete service history.

Keeping the log book current matters twice over: it protects your new-car warranty (you don't have to go to a dealership for it), and it's the first thing a future buyer will ask to see.

Also covers

• Vehicle preventative maintenance
• Oil change

02

Steering & suspension

Your suspension is what keeps all four tyres pressed to the road; the steering is what keeps you in command of where the car goes. When either wears out, the car stops feeling planted.

We replace worn bushes, ball joints, shocks, struts and links, and finish with a wheel alignment so the car drives straight, steers crisply and wears its tyres evenly.

Also covers

• Steering and suspension work

03

Brakes & clutch

Brakes are the one system you never want to guess about. Pads wear, rotors wear or warp, and leave it long enough and you end up replacing more than you needed to. We inspect first, show you the wear, fit quality pads and rotors — and road-test before the car goes back to you.

Clutches are a separate system, but we look after those too: if it's slipping, grabbing or the bite point has moved, we'll tell you honestly whether an adjustment will do or it's a replacement job.

Also covers

• Brake repair and replacement
• Brake job / brake service

04

Tyres

Tyres are the only part of your car that touches the road — four contact patches, each about the size of a postcard. They're all that stands between you and the traffic in front.

We supply and fit tyres to suit your car and how you drive, repair punctures where it's safe to do so, and balance every wheel so the car rides smoothly at any speed.

Also covers

• Tyre repair and replacement
• Wheel balancing

05

Mechanical repairs

From a rattle nobody can trace to a gearbox that needs replacing, general mechanical repair is our core work. We diagnose it properly, quote it clearly, and fix it with quality parts — once, not three times.

That covers engines, transmissions, fuel systems, exhausts, cooling systems, air-conditioning and the hundred small things in between. If it's on a car, bring it to us; if we genuinely can't do it, we'll tell you who can.

Also covers

• General auto repair & maintenance
• Transmission repair & replacement
• Fuel system repair
• Exhaust system repair
• Engine cooling system maintenance
• Air-conditioning (A/C) repair

06

Batteries

There's never a good time for a dead battery. We test the battery, the alternator and the starter as a system — because a flat battery is sometimes the symptom, not the cause.

If it does need a battery, we supply and fit a quality one, check the charging system is healthy, and dispose of the old one responsibly.

Also covers

• Starting and charging repair

07

Diagnostics

When a warning light comes on, the car's computer stores a code — but a code only tells you where to look, not what's actually broken. Our scan equipment reads the codes and the live data behind them, so we find the real cause instead of replacing parts on a guess.

That saves you money: the cheapest repair is the one that's right the first time.
