Starting and charging diagnosis

Nothing is paid on this website. You pay at the bay when you collect the car, in cash or by transfer.

What this workshop sells is hours of looking, and it is worth being blunt about that because it is unusual. A leak in an air conditioning system and an intermittent electrical fault are both found by measurement and elimination, not by fitting a part and hoping, so the figure on the booking form buys you a defined block of diagnostic time and a written answer at the end of it.

What that figure is not is a repair. Once we know what the fault is, you get one price for putting it right, with the part named, and nothing is ordered or fitted until you have said yes. If the answer turns out to be something we do not do, you pay for the diagnosis and we tell you who does.

A repair figure is an estimate until the part is off the car. On a fifteen year old loom a connector can break while it is being separated, and a bolt on a compressor bracket can shear. Neither is anybody's fault and both change the number, so both stop the job for a telephone call rather than appearing on the invoice.

We do not sell sealants, leak stoppers or anything else poured into a system instead of a repair, at any price, to anybody.
