Questions
What people ask before booking
Will servicing my car here void the new car warranty?
No. Under Australian Consumer Law your warranty stays valid as long as the service follows the manufacturer’s schedule and uses parts that meet the specification. We stamp your logbook every time.
What’s included in the $150 oil change?
Engine oil and filter, plus a free check-up of brakes, suspension, cooling system and tyres. If something needs attention, we tell you before doing anything.
Do you do safety certificates?
Yes. We issue QLD safety certificates for selling or re-registering your car. Message us with the make, model and year for the price.
Do I need to book?
Yes. Send us a message or call and we’ll give you a time. For warning lights or noises, tell us what’s happening and we’ll fit you in as soon as we can.
I don’t know what’s wrong with my car. Can you check it?
Yes. Use the “Tell us what your car is doing” card above, or send a video of the noise on WhatsApp.
Do you speak Portuguese?
Sim! Rodrigo is Brazilian. You can talk to us in English or Portuguese.
How can I pay?
Card, cash, Afterpay and Zip. With Afterpay or Zip you can split the cost and pay over time.
