How is Premium different from the Express Service?
Premium includes everything in the Express Service, plus a battery test, an alternator charging check, a new sump plug washer, brake fluid testing, a closer check of the cooling system and water pump, a handbrake check and adjustment, and door hinge lubrication.
Who should choose a Premium Service?
Premium suits most cars due for their regular service, especially if you want the battery, charging system and cooling system checked properly. If you are short on time, the Express Service covers the basics.
Is the air filter included?
We check and clean the air filter. If it needs replacing, that is an extra cost, and we will let you know first.
Can I add extra work to my service?
Yes. Common extras include an engine flush, fuel filter replacement, automatic transmission oil change, manual gearbox and diff oil change, and a power steering fluid flush. You can also upgrade to our Premium grade “GT” semi-synthetic oil, which we recommend for turbo, performance and late model vehicles.
