control / full-service mechanical care
Repair and maintenance menu
Domestic, Japanese, Korean and European petrol and hybrid vehicles, serviced with OEM or OE-equivalent parts that protect your factory warranty. Qualifying parts and labour carry our written 3-year / 36,000-mile nationwide warranty, and replaced parts are kept for you to see at pickup.
01 · Diagnostics
Check-engine diagnostics
$135
A generic OBD-II code says which sensor flagged a reading, not whether the sensor, the wiring, a vacuum seal or the catalytic converter actually failed. Rather than guessing with parts, our L1 diagnostic technician runs bidirectional factory scan tools, smoke tests and lab-scope waveform checks, then sends you a photo report and a firm repair quote.
- Up to one hour of factory-level testing
- Smoke and pressure leak tests
- Photo report with a firm quote
Good to know: the $135 covers up to an hour of testing; the repair itself is quoted separately for your approval.
Best for: warning lights, misfires, battery drains and faults other shops could not trace.

02 · Maintenance
Factory-scheduled maintenance
$98–$145
Keep your 30k, 60k and 90k-mile factory warranty intact without three hours in a dealership waiting room. Up to 6 quarts of the exact OEM-viscosity synthetic (0W-16, 0W-20, 5W-30 or European spec), a premium filter, tyre rotation, a battery health printout and a 42-point photo report on belts, hoses, boots and fluids, so upcoming work can be budgeted months ahead.
- Up to 6 qts full-synthetic oil
- Tyre rotation and battery load test
- 42-point photo inspection
Good to know: the exact price depends on your engine's oil capacity and specification, and is confirmed before we start.
Best for: 30k, 60k and 90k-mile services on cars still under factory warranty.

03 · Brakes
Brake pad, rotor and hydraulics
from $340 / axle
Squealing, a pulsing pedal on highway exits or a soft pedal should not wait. We measure pad and rotor thickness in millimetres and send the photos to your phone, fit corrosion-coated OE rotors, clean and lubricate the caliper hardware so pads wear evenly, test the fluid for moisture and hand-torque every lug to factory specification.
- OEM-spec ceramic pads and coated rotors
- Brake-fluid moisture and copper test
- Lugs hand-torqued to specification
Good to know: priced per axle; every corner is measured and photographed so you only replace what is worn.
Best for: squeals, grinding, pedal pulsation or a soft brake pedal.

04 · Alignment
Laser alignment and suspension
$129
Potholes, feathered tyre edges, steering-wheel vibration or a clunk over speed bumps can halve the life of a $900 set of tyres. We check ball joints, control-arm bushings, sway-bar links, struts and hub bearings on the lift, replace worn parts with OE-grade components, then set caster, camber and toe on our Hunter Hawkeye rack with before-and-after printouts.
- Hunter Hawkeye laser alignment
- Before-and-after spec printout
- Itemised suspension quote
Good to know: $129 is the four-wheel alignment; struts and other suspension parts are quoted line by line.
Best for: a car that pulls, shimmies at highway speed or wears its tyres unevenly.
Ask about alignment
05 · A/C and cooling
A/C and cooling-system service
from $165
Warm cabin air in July or a creeping temperature gauge in stop-and-go traffic needs real pressure testing, not stop-leak additives that clog heater cores. Our EPA-609 certified technicians recover and weigh the exact refrigerant charge, trace condenser and O-ring leaks electronically, test fans, thermostats and water pumps, and flush with vehicle-specific OEM coolant.
- Refrigerant recovered and weighed
- UV dye and electronic leak tracing
- Vehicle-specific OEM coolant
Good to know: radiator, compressor and other cooling repairs are itemised before any work goes ahead.
Best for: weak A/C before the Phoenix summer or an engine running hot in traffic.
Ask about A/C and cooling
06 · Used-car check
Pre-purchase inspection
$155
Before you hand thousands of dollars to a private seller or a used-car lot, bring the car onto our lift for 90 minutes. We scan every module for recently cleared fault codes, meter the paint for undeclared collision repairs, check frame rust, head-gasket health, shifting, brakes and tyres on a highway road test, and hand you an itemised report.
- 90 minutes on the lift plus a road test
- Cleared-code and paint-meter checks
- Repair cost forecast
Good to know: the itemised report is yours to negotiate with fairly, or to walk away on.
Best for: anyone about to buy a used car from a private seller or a lot.
