Repairs

We pride ourselves on being able to get you back on the road cost-effectively.

The first step is discovering exactly what the problem is. Some mechanics seem to just keep replacing parts until the problem goes away – and charge you for all of those parts they use.

We take the time to work out what’s really wrong, and then decide whether the problem can be fixed before replacing the whole part. Sometimes a $10 steel spring will fix a $500 part.

Advice

  • Pre-purchase inspections
    have confidence that the car you want to buy will be safe and reliable.
  • General car advice
    we can help answer your car questions, like what’s a good first car for your son or daughter.
  • Pre-sale services
    make sure your car is in good working order before you sell it.
  • Tricky problems
    many mechanics aren’t interested in hard-to-diagnose problems or rare cars, but we love them.
