Is my engine worth fixing?
Often yes. We compare the repair cost to the vehicle's value and expected remaining life, and tell you honestly if walking away is the smarter move.
Do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome. Booking online or by phone guarantees a bay and cuts your wait, especially on Saturdays.

Always. We diagnose, explain the problem, and give you an itemized written quote. Nothing is repaired without your approval.
