Frequently Asked Questions
Don’t see your question here? Feel free to contact our friendly team, we’re always happy to help and answer any questions you may have.
We recommend booking in advance to ensure prompt service and minimal wait times. However, we will accommodate emergency repairs where possible.
Yes, we always provide transparent quotes before carrying out any repairs or servicing so you know exactly what to expect.
Log book servicing is a manufacturer-scheduled service that follows specific guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s safety, reliability, and warranty compliance.
This depends on your vehicle make, model, and driving conditions. As a general rule, most vehicles should be serviced every 10,000 – 15,000km or every 6-12 months.
Skipping services can lead to increased wear and tear, reduced reliability, poor fuel efficiency, and potentially costly mechanical failures over time.
Having your brakes checked regularly can help prevent costly repairs and is essential for your safety.
Common warning signs include:
Spongy or soft brake pedal
Loud squeaking, grinding, or noise when braking
Vibration or pulling when braking
We recommend having your brakes inspected at least once a year, or sooner if you notice any signs of wear such as noise, vibration, or reduced stopping performance.
Increased fuel consumption can be caused by factors such as driving habits, under-inflated tyres, dirty air filters, worn spark plugs, or engine issues. Regular servicing helps maintain optimal fuel efficiency.
Computer diagnostic analysis uses advanced scan tools to read your vehicle’s onboard computer system, helping identify faults, warning codes, and potential issues accurately.
