Preventative maintenance to reduce your costs and boost reliability


Preventative maintenance plans are tailored to your vehicle’s age, usage and type. Regular checks on shocks, ball joints, bushings, tie rods and alignments mean issues are caught before they lead to major repairs or breakdowns.

For
European cars and EVs, the right diagnostics and parts are always on hand to get the job done right, first time. Scheduled alignments and tyre rotations prevent uneven tyre wear and extend tyre life

Early inspections help you avoid unexpected, costly repairs and keep your vehicle on the road. “It’s a no-nonsense, honest approach. We’ll tell you if your car’s worth fixing, or if you’re better off putting your money elsewhere,” says owner Mark Kirkcladie. If you need
exhaust system repair or custom exhausts, those can be included in your maintenance plan
