Additional charges

What is not included above

Labour rate
£62 an hour, charged in fifteen-minute increments after the first half hour. Most jobs on this page are fixed price, so the rate only applies to work we have quoted by time.
Diagnostic time
£54 for the first hour. If you have the repair done here, it comes off the bill. If you take the car elsewhere, you still get the written diagnosis.
Parts
Included in every price shown. We use original-equipment or better. If you want a cheaper part we will tell you the difference and let you decide.
Waste disposal
Included. Oil, filters, tyres, batteries and coolant are all disposed of under our waste carrier licence at no charge to you.
Courtesy car
Free for jobs booked in advance taking more than a day. Two available, so ask early. You pay for the fuel you use.
Deposits
None for an MOT or a service. For jobs over £600 with non-returnable parts we ask for the parts cost up front, and we say so when we quote.
