Independent garage working on any make and model, whether petrol, diesel or LPG. Always with a fixed quote before we begin.
Servicing and maintenance
The full check to the manufacturer's schedule.
We service the vehicle following the manufacturer's own schedule: oil, filters, fluids, belts, brakes, suspension, tyres and lights. You leave with a clear list of what is fine, what to keep an eye on and what needs doing now.
Includes
Oil and filters
Fluids and levels
Brakes and tyres
Condition report
Pre-ITV check
Pass first time instead of going back twice.
We check the points that fail most vehicles at the ITV: emissions, lights, play in the suspension, brakes, tyres and bodywork condition. Anything that would fail gets put right beforehand, so you do not lose a morning for nothing.
Includes
Emissions check
Lights and alignment
Brakes and play
Corrective work
Oil and filters
The service that does most for engine life.
Oil change to the exact specification your engine calls for, plus oil, air, fuel and cabin filters as needed. No generic oil: a modern engine is fussy about the standard it runs on.
Includes
Oil to specification
Oil filter
Air filter
Cabin filter
Brakes
Pads, discs and brake fluid.
Pad and disc replacement, bleeding and renewing brake fluid, plus inspection of hoses and callipers. If only the pads are due, we change the pads. We will not sell you discs you do not need.
Includes
Pads and discs
Brake fluid
Hoses and callipers
Road test
Electronic diagnostics
For the engine light nobody can explain.
Reading the ECU and, more importantly, interpreting it. A fault code tells you where to look, not what to replace. We find the actual cause before ordering a part, which is exactly what stops good components being thrown away.
Includes
ECU read
Live data analysis
Root cause tracing
Quote before repair
Tyres
Fitting, balancing and puncture repair.
Fitting and balancing new tyres, repairing punctures where the damage allows, and checking pressures and wear. A straightforward puncture is usually dealt with on the spot without an appointment.
Includes
Fitting and balancing
Puncture repair
Pressure check
Wear inspection
Air conditioning
Checked and recharged before the heat arrives.
Circuit check, leak testing and refrigerant recharge. On the Costa Blanca the air conditioning runs flat out from May to October, so it is worth sorting beforehand rather than in the middle of August.
Includes
Circuit check
Leak testing
Refrigerant recharge
Cabin filter
General mechanical work
Engine, clutch, timing, suspension and exhaust.
Clutches, timing belt and chain kits, shock absorbers, batteries, electrics, injection, turbochargers and exhausts. This is the bulk of the garage's work and where it shows most that somebody is looking for the cause rather than swapping parts blind.
Includes
Clutch
Timing belt and chain
Shock absorbers
Electrics and injection
So what does it cost?
We do not publish a price list, because a price list misleads: the same job costs one thing on a small hatchback and another on a seven-year-old estate. What we do instead is this.
