long-term experience

Long-term Experience

When on the search for a mechanic that knows what they are doing, experience is key! While official training is essential, experience in the field provides a unique understanding and lessons that only time can provide. That is why you should look for an experienced mechanic who has been in the game for years.

Our expert mechanics have been in the field for a long time. We know the automotive industry inside and out. Years in the industry have given us a broad understanding and expertise in our field, allowing us to deliver quality service to our customers time and time again.

Accepts a range of automobiles

A good mechanic has a variety of knowledge and skills, allowing them to serve a range of car brands, models and transmissions. Their expertise and valuable knowledge will be invaluable, making them highly advanced. This makes it essential to note if a mechanic accepts various cars, from old to new, as it is an excellent indicator of how advanced they are.

Setting us apart from competitors, our expert mechanics have plenty of experience servicing a range of cars.

We are also a Tesla Approved Collision Centre, with accredited technicians who have undergone scrupulous training and assessments to meet the requirements set by Tesla.

Specific mechanics may only specialise in the standard modern-day Japanese car brands, not knowing how to deal with uncommon brands or older models. On the other hand, our team has worked across different vehicles, including European and Japanese brands, old-school cars, and brand-new cars straight from the dealership.
