Aftercare

Getting the most out of any repair

A few habits that help your car stay reliable between visits.

Keep the paperwork

We email an invoice and report after every job — keep it for warranty claims or when you come to sell.

  • Digital record of parts fitted
  • Useful for resale and MOT history
  • Proof of guarantee cover

Watch, listen, smell

Most faults give a warning before they become serious — an unusual noise, smell or light on the dash.

  • Check tyre tread and pressures monthly
  • Note any new noises or smells
  • Don't ignore a returning warning light

Stick to service intervals

Sticking to manufacturer intervals protects your engine and keeps any factory warranty valid.

  • Oil and filter changes on schedule
  • Cambelt replaced before it snaps
  • Brake fluid changed every 2 years

Call early, not late

A quick call about a strange noise is free advice — leaving it can turn a small job into a big one.

  • We're on the phone 24 hours a day
  • Honest advice, even if it's a small fix
  • Same-day slots for urgent problems

Service, judged by the people who used it

Full service on my Golf done outside the house while I worked. Clear invoice, no upsell.

FAQs

Service questions

Do you need my power or water?+

No. Our mechanics bring their own battery power, lighting and air tools.

Can you supply the parts?+

Yes, we source OE-matched parts from Edinburgh suppliers, usually same-day. You may also supply your own.

What jobs still need a garage?+

Gearbox removal, big engine strip-downs and anything needing a four-post lift. We move those to a partner garage.

How far in advance should I book?+

Same-day slots are common; booking a day ahead guarantees your preferred time.

Not sure which service you need?

Describe the symptoms and we will tell you honestly what it likely is.
