Frequently asked questions
How often should I get my car serviced?
Every 12 months or 10,000 km, whichever comes first.
What is included in a service?
Fresh engine oil and a new oil filter, then a proper once-over: fluids, filters, suspension, bushes, brakes and tyres. If something's on its way out, you'll hear it from us first.
How do I know if my brakes need replacing?
Squealing, grinding, longer stops, or a pedal that just feels different. If you're asking, it's worth a look.
What should I do if my check engine light comes on?
Book a diagnostic before it turns into a bigger bill — we trace the fault to its source and fix it once.
Can you do pre-purchase inspections?
Yes. We'll list what it needs now, what it'll need soon, and what the seller forgot to mention.
