1. Inspection And Assessment

Upon arrival, a qualified technician will inspect your vehicle to assess its overall condition. They will check the engine, brakes, suspension, and other components to identify any potential issues or areas that require attention. This initial inspection will provide a comprehensive overview of your vehicle's health and recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance.

2. Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance tasks that are carried out during all vehicle services will include and oil change and a check of all fluids including break fluid, power steering fluid, transmissions fluid (in automatic vehicles) coolant and windshield washer fluid.

The air and fuel filters may be replaced, and a comprehensive battery test will also be conducted. The brake pads, rotors, and callipers will be checked, and the technician will advise if they need to be replaced.

3. Customised Repair Recommendations

Based on the inspection and assessment results, the technician will provide customised recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance. They will explain the importance of each recommendation and its benefits for your vehicle's longevity and safety. You will have the final decision on proceeding with the recommended repairs or maintenance.

4. Completing The Work On Time

Skilled technicians will ensure that all vehicle services are completed in a timely manner, taking into consideration your busy schedule.

5. Transparent And Affordable Pricing

It is important to have affordable prices for all vehicle services, including maintenance. Before any repairs or maintenance are performed, an accurate estimate must be provided so you know exactly what you are paying for.

6. Feedback And Updatating Your Service Record

After all the vehicle services work has been completed to your satisfaction, the technician or service manager will run through the list of work carried out with you, taking time to answer any questions you may have.
