No surprises

Common costs explained.

This page explains what normally affects garage pricing—without gimmicks or vague promises.

What affects cost?

  • Parts quality: budget versus premium
  • Vehicle make/model and access to components
  • Time needed to diagnose properly
  • Whether related items are worn, such as discs with pads

How we keep it fair

  • Proper inspection before quoting
  • Clear explanation of options
  • Quote agreed before work starts
  • No pressure to proceed

Servicing

Service costs vary by vehicle and what’s due. We’ll confirm what your vehicle needs and quote clearly before starting.

Diagnostics

Diagnostics is about finding the cause—not guessing. The first diagnostic hour, including plugging in, is £70. All other labour is £65 per hour. We explain the findings clearly and advise the best next step.

Published labour rates

  • First diagnostic hour (including plug-in) £70
  • All other labour £65/hour

Brakes & tyres

Costs depend on the parts required and condition of related components. We’ll show you what we’ve found and agree a quote before work begins.
