Car repairs, quoted before we start
Five areas, one rule: we look at it, photograph what’s wrong, put a number on it, and wait for you to say yes. Parts we supply carry a 24-month warranty.
Five areas
Brakes & suspension
Pads, discs, calipers, pipes and fluid. Shocks, springs, bushes, wishbones, drop links — everything Leeds potholes get through.
from £129Clutch & gearbox
Slipping, judder, heavy pedal, crunching into second. Clutch and dual-mass flywheel replacement, linkages, gearbox oil.
quotedEngine & cambelt
Cambelts at interval, water pumps, oil and coolant leaks, misfires, thermostats, head gaskets when the tests say so.
from £349Electrics & batteries
Won’t start, flat every Monday, alternator light, parasitic drains, wiring repairs, battery coding.
from £69Air conditioning
Regas on R134a and R1234yf, leak testing with nitrogen and dye, compressors, condensers, pollen filters.
from £79The honest list
Sending you elsewhere costs us the job and saves you a wasted afternoon. That trade is worth it.
- Bodywork, paint and dents — not our trade
- Tyres and wheel alignment — no tyre machine, no alignment rig
- Gearbox rebuilds — we diagnose and replace, a specialist rebuilds
- Windscreens and glass — the mobile firms do it better and cheaper
- Remapping and tuning — we’ll diagnose a mapped car, we won’t map one
- Vans over 3.5 tonnes and motorbikes
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is doing the work here. A service must be carried out with reasonable care and skill, in a reasonable time, and for a reasonable price where none was agreed beforehand. If something isn’t right you’re entitled to have it put right, or to a price reduction if that isn’t possible.
Agreeing the price up front is how you avoid ever having to argue about what “reasonable” means. That’s why we quote first — it protects both of us.
Four steps and a photograph
- Look and test. On the ramp, on the road, or on the scan tool — whatever the symptom calls for.
- Photograph it. Split boot, corroded pipe, leaking shock. You see the picture before you see the price.
- Quote in writing. Parts, labour, VAT, total. By text or email so you’ve got it in writing, not just in your memory of a phone call.
- Do only what you approved. Find something else mid-job and we stop and ring you. Old parts back if you want them.
