Auto Service and Inspection

Scope of Works

• Initial vehicle inspection: check engine codes, belts, hoses, fluid levels and tyre pressures.

• Oil and filter change: drain old engine oil, replace oil filter and top up with manufacturer-specified oil.

• Fluid top-ups: refill coolant, brake, power-steering and washer fluids.

• Brake check: inspect pads, discs/drums for wear; report on any replacements needed.

• Air and pollen filter replacement: fit new filters where required.

• Safety and performance checks: test lights, wipers, horn, battery and charge state.

• Diagnostic scan & report: clear minor fault codes and provide written service report.

Questions to Ask Your Trade

1. Are you insured and do you carry public liability cover?

2. Will you use OEM-specification oil and filters?

3. Do you include a full engine diagnostic scan and report?

4. How do you handle fluid disposal and environmental regulations?

5. Can you confirm any additional charges for recommended repairs?

6. What warranty do you offer on labour and replaced parts?

7. Do you perform a post-service road test to verify performance?

   
   

How to Avoid Surprises

• Ensure clear access: park on level ground and clear around the vehicle.

• Reserve a parking space close to your garage door for quick entry/exit.

• Ask if any working-at-height or special lifting equipment is required.

• Confirm whether courtesy transport or vehicle collection is available.

• Obtain a written, itemised quote detailing call-out, labour, materials and extras.
