Why locals come back

Three reasons we hear most

All verifiable from services.json + pricing.json — no marketing fluff
Reason 1

We diagnose before we quote.

A 60-minute diagnostic (€60) using multi-brand OBD-II plus manufacturer-specific scanners. You get a printed report. We don't start work without your sign-off — and the diagnostic fee is waived if we end up doing the repair.

Reason 2

Pre-NCT for €49.

A 50-point inspection against the items the NCT actually fails on — tyres, lights, brakes, emissions, headlight beam aim, suspension. Catch the failures with us; walk into the test already passing. Flat fee, one-hour slot.

Reason 3

Independent labour rate.

No franchise markup, no dealer overheads, no commission on parts. We use OEM-spec parts where it matters and quality aftermarket where it doesn't. Every line item is on the printed invoice.
