why we do not publish fake prices

A cheap headline price is useless if it changes once the bonnet is up

A major service on one car can need different oil, filters, plugs, fluids and labour than the car parked next to it. Brakes, diagnostics and repairs are the same: the fair price is the one based on the actual vehicle.

So we keep pricing simple. Tell us what you drive, what it is doing, and what service is due. We quote the job clearly, explain anything we find, and wait for your approval before extra work starts.

straight up about price

How car service pricing works

The number depends on the car and the work, but the quoting process stays the same every time: clear, upfront and approved before we touch anything extra.

What affects the price

  • Make, model, engine and kilometres
  • Whether it is logbook, major service or repair work
  • Parts, fluids and service schedule requirements
  • Inspection or diagnostic time needed to find the fault
  • Any extra repairs found during the job - only with your approval

our promise

  • A clear quote before work starts
  • No surprise extras on the invoice
  • Plain-English advice before you decide
  • Fair independent-workshop pricing
  • Logbook records kept tidy where applicable

Four things that make the price clearer

The better the information, the less guesswork. A two-minute phone call is usually enough to get started.

  1. 1

    Tell us the vehicle

    Registration, make, model, engine and kilometres help us identify the correct service items, parts and fluids.

  2. 2

    Tell us the job

    Is it a logbook service, major service, brake noise, warning light, leak, no-start issue or something else?

  3. 3

    We quote before work

    You get a clear price for the approved job. If diagnostics are needed first, we explain that before starting.

  4. 4

    Extras need your OK

    If we find more once the car is here, we call with the options and price. You decide what goes ahead.

the workshop promise

No mystery line items. No work you did not approve.

Price anxiety usually comes from not knowing what changed between the quote and the invoice. We keep that gap closed by calling before anything extra happens.

  • The job is explained before it starts
  • The quote is based on your actual vehicle
  • Urgent and non-urgent repairs are separated
  • You approve extras before we do them
  • You deal directly with the workshop

pricing FAQs

Straight answers before you book

A few common questions about quotes, invoices and approval.

We can give you a clear quote once we know the vehicle, kilometres and what it needs. We avoid fake headline prices because the oil, filters, parts and service schedule can vary a lot between cars.

For normal service quotes, call us with your make, model and kilometres and we'll guide you. Diagnostics or fault-finding may need workshop time, and we'll explain that before starting.

No. If we find anything beyond the approved job, we call first with a plain-English explanation and a price. Nothing extra goes ahead without your OK.

Have your registration, make, model, engine type, kilometres and service history handy. Tell us about warning lights, noises, leaks or recent repairs so we can quote the real job.
