How pricing works
One fixed price you can count on, the CA$70 mobile diagnostic, and a clear quote for everything else before I touch your car.
CA$70 mobile diagnostic
I come to your car, scan and test, and explain what’s wrong. This is the only fixed price on the site, and it covers the diagnosis, not the repair.
Your repair quote
For the repair, I give you a quote with parts and labour for your specific vehicle. Parts prices depend on the vehicle and the part options.
You decide
Nothing is replaced until you approve the quote. If something else comes up during the job, I stop and ask first.
Repair on site
Most jobs are done in the same visit or a scheduled return once parts arrive.
Diagnostic visit at your location. Repairs are quoted separately.
Book a diagnosticWhat the CA$70 diagnostic includes
- OBD scan and fault-code reading
- Visual inspection of the problem area
- Basic tests: battery, charging, sensors as needed
- A clear explanation of the findings
- Repair recommendations and a quote
The diagnostic covers testing and an explanation of the results. Repair work is quoted separately, and I explain why a part needs replacing before I replace it.
What changes the price of a repair
- The vehicleMake, model, engine and year change the part and the labour time.
- The partDifferent part options exist for many repairs; I explain the choices.
- The jobRust, seized bolts or extra worn parts found during the job can add time. I ask before doing extra work.
- Time and placeFor emergency calls, the time of day and your location affect availability and price. You get the price before I come.
- Pre-purchase inspectionPriced for the vehicle and where it is. Send the car and the seller’s location for a quote.
Why there’s no big price list
A brake job on a compact car and on a heavy SUV are different jobs with different parts. Instead of posting prices that won’t match your car, I quote your vehicle before any work. Final pricing depends on the vehicle, parts, location and work required.
Get a quote for your carHow pricing works
Is the diagnostic fee charged if I go ahead with the repair?
Ask when you book: I’ll tell you how the diagnostic fee applies to your repair.
Can I get a price over the phone?
For many jobs, yes: give me the year, make, model and the problem. If the cause isn’t clear, the diagnostic comes first.
Will you do extra work without asking?
No. If I find something else, I show you and quote it. You decide.
