Service Scope
What each of the fourteen services covers, how long it takes and how often it is needed. The cost is shared in writing after the inspection.
This page sets out what each service covers, how long it takes and how often it is needed. We do not quote from a list: after your car has been inspected, the parts to be replaced and the labour items are listed one by one and sent to you in writing, and no work begins without your approval.

Why there is no ready-made price list
The same job does not cost the same on two cars. Engine size, the brand of part, the mileage and whatever turns up once things are opened all change the figure. A ready-made list only leads to a later argument about what the list said; instead we look at your car and put a quote in writing.
What is covered and how long it takes is set out plainly on this page. So you know what will be done before you book, and what it will cost right after the inspection.
How the quote is put together
- The car goes up on the lift and the complaint and mileage are recorded.
- The parts to be replaced and the labour items are listed one by one.
- The list, the time and the total are shared with you in writing.
- Nothing is started before you approve it, and if the plan changes we ask again.
