What it costs

⃂ 650.00 Per booking

Nothing is paid on this website and no card details are asked for. You pay at the office when you collect the car, in cash or by transfer.

A service price here is a real price, not an estimate, because a service is known work: known oil, a known filter, a known list of checks and a known number of hours. If we quote you a major service at two thousand four hundred, that is what the invoice says.

A repair is different and we will not pretend otherwise. Until the car is on the lift with the wheel off, a brake job is a guess about what is behind the wheel, and anybody who tells you a firm figure on the telephone is telling you a story. So the repair booking buys the inspection and the honest figure that follows it, and nothing is fitted until you have said yes to that figure.

If the car turns out to need more than was agreed, work stops. You get a telephone call, the new figure, and the choice. We do not carry on and explain at the office, and the one rule everybody here works to is that the invoice never surprises anybody.

Old parts go in a box with your registration on it and they are on the office counter when you collect. Pads, filters, belts, all of it. You do not have to ask.

An hour on the flat bay and the lift, on a car somebody is trying to sell you, and a written sheet at the end of it that you take to the negotiation.

What gets looked at: the underside, which is where a car that has spent ten years in salt air tells the truth; the chassis rails and the sills for filler and fresh paint over rust; every fluid; the battery under load; compression if the engine sounds unhappy; the suspension bushes and the ball joints; the tyres and their dates; and whether the panel gaps and the paint thickness say this car has been in something.

You get a sheet with what is sound, what will need money within a year and roughly how much, and what would make us walk away. About one car in five gets a walk away, and a fair number of those are cars that look immaculate on the outside.

Bring the seller or bring the car with permission. We will not put a car on a lift for somebody who cannot tell us whose it is.
