Quick answers

Can you check my car before the NCT at my home?

Yes. We come to you, go over the points that commonly cause a fail and tell you what to fix before you book the test.

Is it worth inspecting a used car before I buy?

Usually. A short viewing hides a lot. An inspection gives you a written list of what is fine and what is not, which is also useful when you talk about the price.

I put the wrong fuel in. What do I do?

Leave the engine off, and keep the ignition off as well. Ring us with the car and what went in, and we will explain the next step.

Will I know the price before you start?

Yes. A booked call-out is €180 and includes the diagnostic check. After that we agree the price of the job with you before any work starts.

Can you replace brakes at my home?

Yes. Worn discs and pads can usually be replaced on your driveway or at your workplace. We look at them first and agree the price before we fit anything.

Where do you work?

Across Dublin. We come to your home, your workplace or wherever the car is parked. Tell us the area when you call.
