No-surprise prices — what you see is what you pay.
These jobs are charged at a fixed price every time — no variables, no hidden extras. All prices exclude VAT unless stated.

How we price variable jobs
Jobs like clutch replacement, timing chains, brake discs and engine work vary in cost because every vehicle is different — a Ford Fiesta clutch uses different parts and takes different labour time to a BMW 5 Series.
We never give vague estimates. When you contact us with your reg plate, we look up your specific vehicle, price the exact parts needed and give you a written quote before any work starts. No surprises — ever.
