Common questions about our pricing
We understand you might have questions about how we charge. Here are some of the most common ones we receive:
Do you charge $290 for 60 minutes, even if you can't diagnose it?
No, absolutely not! Our call-out and diagnostic fee is a flat $196 (this includes GST on the $189 base rate) with no time limit. More importantly, if we can't diagnose the issue, there is no charge to you for the diagnostic service. This is a significant difference from other mechanics who might charge per hour regardless of a diagnosis.
