General Repairs questions

What types of car repairs do you carry out?

We carry out mechanical repairs including brakes, suspension, steering, exhausts, cooling system faults, electrical faults, batteries and welding, along with general maintenance.

Can you give me a repair quote from my registration?

For many jobs, yes. Your registration tells us the exact vehicle so we can price parts. Some faults need to be inspected or diagnosed first before we can give an accurate price.

Can you inspect a noise before replacing anything?

Yes. We inspect the vehicle to find the cause of the noise first, then explain what we recommend and what it will cost.

Do you repair all makes and models?

We work on a wide range of makes and models. Send us your registration and we'll confirm whether we can help with your vehicle.

How long will my repair take?

It depends on the job and parts availability. Many repairs are completed the same day. We'll give you an idea of timing when we quote.

Can you diagnose the problem first?

Yes. For warning lights and faults we can carry out diagnostics, which start from £60, before quoting for the repair.

Will you contact me before carrying out extra work?

Yes. We always contact you and agree the price before carrying out any additional work.

Do you need to see the car before quoting?

Yes. Every job is inspected before we give a firm price, so we can be sure exactly what is needed. Send us your registration and a short description of the problem to get started.
