What We Repair

Electrical Repairs
From battery drain and sensor faults to starters, alternators, lighting and wiring issues — we diagnose accurately (scope + scan tools) and repair to manufacturer standards.

Brake Repairs & Servicing
Shudder, squeal or a long pedal? We inspect discs, pads, hydraulics and ABS, then machine or replace components as needed. Fresh fluid and correct bed-in ensure strong, consistent braking.

Clutch Repairs & Replacements
Slipping, judder, hard pedal or difficulty selecting gears? We assess clutch wear, hydraulics and flywheel condition. Quality clutch kits fitted with correct torque and test-drive verification.

Suspension & Steering Repairs
Knocks, vibration or uneven tyre wear? We repair shocks, control arms, bushes, and ball joints — then finish with wheel alignment to restore handling and tyre life.
