I drive a new car. If I bring it to you for servicing will I lose my dealer warranty?

Absolutely not. You are entitled by law to have your car serviced wherever you choose without affecting warranty. While we do not offer fixed price servicing on cars still under warranty, our affordable prices save you money on dealership costs—every time!

I had my car checked out today after weeks of undiagnosed enquires to many other mechanics about idle issues and the carby. I’m so happy with my experience with this team, In half an hour the issue was found and fixed! very affordable and friendly staff, definitely recommend.

After taking my vehicle for a safety certificate, which was failed according to Tell I was given 2 weeks to have the work done or I would have to pay again Certificate valid for 3 months or 2000klms, I had the work done almost $2000 I was informed by 2 other reputable mechanics that the work done was not absolutely necessary to comply with Qld registration, also some of the work done was not done correctly so I returned it to them for review and they wanted to charge me again for work that should have already been done NOT RECOMMENDED

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a pre-purchase inspection before I buy a used car?

You can't tell if a car is mechanically sound just by looking at it. Our team conducts a thorough body inspection, and we look under the hood—checking the engine, drive train, belts, hoses, and spark plugs. We also do a brake safety check and examine the suspension for any damage. We'll provide a full report on the condition of the vehicle prior to purchase.

Why is my check engine light on?

Japanese engines have a good reputation on the used auto parts market. While generally more expensive, imported engines are highly reliable. Japanese cars are recycled earlier in their lives and the engines have far less wear and tear. During their lifespan, Japanese cars are subjected to rigorous quality controls, which is evident in the condition of reconditioned components.
