Get Clarity Before You Buy or Before Problems Escalate.
If you’re considering a used car or want to catch issues early with your current one, we carry out clear, professional inspections and give you straight answers about what’s going on.
Understand what you're driving — or what you're about to buy
For most people, car problems aren’t just inconvenient — they’re stressful, costly, and hard to make sense of.
That’s why our inspection services are designed to give you clarity and control, whether:
You’re about to commit to a used car and want an expert second opinion
Or you’re concerned something’s wrong with your current vehicle — and want to catch it before it turns into a breakdown
We carry out a full visual and mechanical assessment, clearly explain what we’ve found, and give you the facts you need to make an informed decision.No jargon. No pressure. Just reliable answers.
Pre-purchase inspections
From £94.99
A Professional Second Opinion Before You CommitUsed cars often look fine on the surface — but experienced eyes know where to look for hidden problems.We provide thorough, independent inspections at the seller’s location. You don’t need to be there — just give us permission and we’ll handle the rest.
Included in the Inspection:
Exterior and underbody condition
Brake components and tyre condition
Fluid levels and signs of leakage
Suspension, steering and safety features
Dashboard warnings and diagnostic scan
Road test (if permitted)
You’ll Receive:
A full written report and photo evidence
A verbal summary by phone or WhatsApp
A clear recommendation: proceed, negotiate, or avoid
“Great job and a helpful, prompt report. I was able to negotiate a lower price on the car because of the faults found, so the inspection paid for itself and now I also have extra peace of mind!”
Imogen | Slough
Vehicle health checks
From £64.99
Catch Problems Early & Avoid Costly Repairs LaterIf you’ve noticed an unusual noise, warning light, or just want peace of mind before a long trip or MOT, a health check is a simple way to ensure everything’s as it should be.We carry out a 28-point visual check on the most common wear and failure points — and explain what needs attention, and what doesn’t.
Included in the Inspection:
Safety systems (lights, horn, wipers, etc.)
Tyres, brakes and suspension components
Fluid levels and signs of leakage
Battery health and electrical performance
Dashboard diagnostics and visual inspection
You’ll Receive:
A clear report — written and verbal
No scare tactics — just a realistic summary

Dashboard Light On? Strange Noise? Let’s Find Out What’s Really Going On.
We carry out professional diagnostic checks using high-grade tools, so
you get clear answers about what’s wrong, and what needs to happen next.
Proper diagnostics and clear explanations
Starting from From £44.99
A lot of places just plug in a scanner, read out the code, and hand it over without context.We go further by scanning your vehicle’s systems, investigate the issue properly, and explain:
What the warning means (in plain English)
What’s causing it
Whether it’s urgent or minor
And what your best next steps are
No scare tactics. No tech jargon. Just a straight answer from someone who knows what they’re doing.
What we diagnose
We can diagnose a wide range of faults, including:
Engine warning lights
Battery or charging system faults
ABS / traction control issues
Overheating or coolant problems
Emissions or exhaust system faults
Gearbox or clutch sensor issues
Starting or idling problems
Strange noises or loss of power
If your vehicle’s doing something it shouldn’t — we’ll help you get to the bottom of it.
Once we find the issue, you decide what happens next
We’ll explain the fault and recommend what needs to be done — including if it’s something we can fix on the spot or book for later. You’re in control at every stage. No pressure. No obligation.
If a fault is found:
We’ll provide a clear summary of the issue
If possible, we’ll quote for on-site repair
If parts or time are needed, we’ll offer to re-book
If no fault is found:
We’ll let you know that too — with full transparency.

10 Signs Your Mechanic Might be Upselling You
Let’s be honest: a lot of people feel uneasy walking into a garage.You hand over your keys, and brace for a phone call that starts with "It's worse than we thought."Over the years, we've heard every story in the book from frustrated customers who were oversold, misled, or flat-out lied to.So here it is. The real checklist. The signs to look out for when you suspect your mechanic might be pushing more work than your car actually needs.
1. They Can’t Show You the Fault
If they say something needs fixing, ask to see it.A decent mechanic will have no issue showing you a worn brake pad or a leaking hose.If they dodge, get defensive, or throw jargon at you instead of proof — red flag.
2. They Rush the Diagnosis
If a garage glances at your car and says, "Yeah, you'll need a new alternator," without even checking properly... they might be guessing.Or worse, upselling.
3. You Get a Laundry List of Repairs
If you went in for a rattle and left with a £600 estimate for unrelated items, you’re probably being upsold.Honest mechanics separate urgent issues from advisories.
4. They Pressure You to Decide Immediately
"You need to do this today or it could be dangerous."Sound familiar?That’s not concern, it’s pressure.A trustworthy mechanic explains the issue and lets you decide.
5. There’s No Clear Breakdown of Costs
A vague quote like “about £300” should never fly.You deserve a clear item-by-item breakdown: parts, labour, diagnostics.Otherwise, you’re in the dark.
6. They Say It’s Genuine Without Explaining Why
"We only use genuine parts."That’s great — when it’s needed.But on a 20-year-old runabout? There are good-quality alternatives that would save you money.The key is context.
7. They Don’t Explain What Happens If You Don’t Fix It
Every issue has a "what if I leave it" outcome.If your mechanic can’t tell you what happens if you wait 2 weeks or 2 months, they’re probably more focused on the invoice than your car.
8. They Won’t Let You Take the Old Parts Home
Ask for the replaced part back.A good mechanic will hand it over no problem.A shady one won’t want you seeing it at all.
9. They Change Prices Between Drop-Off and Pick-Up
If the final price suddenly jumps without a clear reason or prior approval, that’s a serious red flag.You should never be surprised by your bill.
10. Your Gut Tells You Something Feels Off
You don’t have to be a car expert. If it feels like a hustle, it probably is.Trust your instincts — and don’t be afraid to walk away.
What To Do If You’re Not Sure
If you’ve been handed a quote and you’re not confident it’s legit, get a second opinion.That’s why we offer clear, honest diagnostics with no pushy sales tactics.We tell you what the issue is, what needs doing (if anything), and leave the decision with you.

MOT Failures — What You're Most Likely to Get Caught On (And How to Avoid it)
An MOT shouldn’t feel like a gamble.But for most drivers, it does.You cross your fingers, hoping it doesn’t fail on something unexpected — or worse, something you could’ve fixed beforehand.That’s why we’ve compiled this list of the most common reasons cars fail their MOTs. No dealership scare tactics. Just honest insights from doing thousands of MOTs.Use this as your pre-checklist, especially if you're booking an MOT soon.
1. Worn Tyres
The most common fail.MOT testers check tread depth (must be 1.6mm or more), visible damage, and matching tyre types.How to avoid it: Use a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible when inserted into the tread, it might be too low.
2. Brake Problems
Brake pads worn too thin, discs scored, or handbrake not holding properly — all fail-worthy.How to avoid it: Listen for grinding sounds. If your braking feels soft or takes longer, get it checked before test day.
3. Lights Not Working
Blown bulbs, misaligned headlights, or faulty brake lights — instant fails.Easy fix, but often overlooked.How to avoid it: Do a full light check the night before. Get someone to help test brake and reverse lights.
4. Suspension Wear
Knocking sounds, uneven ride height, or worn bushings. Suspension issues are high on the fail list.How to avoid it: If your car feels "floaty" or makes noise over bumps, get it inspected.
5. Windscreen Wipers & Washers
Yes, even this can fail your MOT.Cracked wiper blades or empty washer fluid = no pass.How to avoid it: Replace wipers if they squeak or smear and top up screenwash.
6. Number Plate Issues
Cracked, incorrectly spaced, or dirty plates can lead to a fail. Sounds minor, but it matters.How to avoid it: Clean your plates. Make sure they’re legal and easy to read.
7. Emissions & Warning Lights
If your engine management light is on, or your car emits too much smoke during the test — it’ll fail.How to avoid it: Book a diagnostic check if a light’s on. Don’t ignore it and hope.
8. Seatbelts & Safety
Frayed seatbelts, missing buckles, or stuck retractors. All checked. All must work.How to avoid it: Buckle each belt and check it retracts and locks under a sharp pull.
9. Cracked or Obstructed Windscreen
If there's a chip in the driver’s line of sight, it might be a fail. Stickers or dash clutter can count too.How to avoid it: Keep your windscreen clear, and deal with chips early.
10. Mirrors & Visibility
Broken mirrors or ones that don’t adjust properly? They’re on the checklist too.How to avoid it: Give your mirrors a quick test and tighten if needed.
Bonus Tip: Combine Your MOT With a Service
Many of our customers book a Full Service and MOT together.That way, we catch issues beforehand — and fix them — before the test even happens.It saves stress. And usually saves money.Check your car. Ask questions. Or let us give it a once-over.

Questions Mechanics Hate — But You Should Always Ask
Some garages love it when you say nothing.They count on it.Because when you don’t ask questions, it’s easier for them to:
Upsell things you don’t need
Add vague labour charges
Bury you in jargon and fear tactics
The good news? You don’t need to know how an engine works to protect yourself. You just need to ask the right questions.Here are five that every driver should use — and why they matter.
1. “Can You Show Me What’s Wrong?”
Why It Matters: If a mechanic can’t point it out on the car, it might not be urgent. Visual proof makes a huge difference.What To Watch: If they dodge the question or say "you wouldn't understand," walk away and find a more transparent mechanic.
2. “Is This Safe to Drive As It Is?”
Why It Matters: Not all issues are urgent. This question helps separate maintenance from immediate safety risks.What To Watch: Pressure tactics like "I wouldn't drive it another mile" — especially when your car feels fine.
3. “What Happens If I Don’t Fix This Right Now?”
Why It Matters: Helps you understand long-term impact. Some issues can wait. Some can't.What To Watch: Vague answers. A good mechanic should explain consequences clearly.
4. “Can You Break Down the Costs for Me?”
Why It Matters: Separates parts and labour. Lets you see if you're being charged £80 for a £10 part.What To Watch: One-line total quotes with no breakdowns.
5. “Can You Give That to Me in Writing?”
Why It Matters: Locks in the price and stops surprise charges.What To Watch: Pushback on putting things in writing is a red flag.
Bonus Question: “What’s The Most Cost-Effective Fix?”
Why It Matters: Shows you want honesty over upsells. A good mechanic will give you options, not just the most expensive path.What To Watch: Instant default to full replacements instead of repairs.
Being Informed Stops You From Getting Ripped Off.
