Our Core Services

Everything you need to keep your car safe, road-ready, and running smoothly. Honest advice, clear pricing, and no pressure repairs for Japanese, European, commercial, and fleet vehicles.

WOF Inspections, Repairs & Rechecks

We carry out WOF inspections and fix common fail items like lights, tyres, brakes, and suspension. If a recheck is needed, we’ll explain it clearly and get it sorted without stress.

General Car Servicing

Regular servicing to keep your car running smoothly. Includes oil changes, filter replacements, and full safety checks. Ideal for ongoing maintenance and repeat care.

Brake Repairs

Brake pads, rotors, fluid checks, and full brake servicing. One of the most common jobs we do, focused on safety, performance, and long-lasting results.

Battery Testing & Replacement

We test, supply, and replace car batteries. If your car won’t start or the battery is weak, we’ll sort it quickly and get you back on the road.

Tyres – Repairs & Replacement

Puncture repairs, tyre replacements, and basic checks for wear and safety. We’ll advise when a repair is enough or when replacement is the safer option.

Suspension & Steering Repairs

Shocks, struts, bushes, and ball joints. Suspension issues are often picked up during WOFs, and we’ll explain what’s urgent and what can wait.
