What we do

  • Minor and major service

    The Dutch call it the kleine beurt and grote beurt: oil, filters, spark plugs, fluids and a full check, based on mileage and the manufacturer's schedule.

  • Diagnostics

    Warning light on? We read the fault codes and explain the cause before replacing anything.

  • Brakes

    Pads, discs, brake fluid and sensors. Squeaking brakes or a strange pedal? Bring it in soon.

  • Engine and timing belt

    Leaks, loss of power, noises, timing belts and chains. From targeted repairs to full rebuilds.

  • Suspension and steering

    Shocks, springs, bushings, ball joints and tie rods. Your car drives tight and straight again.

  • Battery and lights

    Battery testing and replacement, bulbs and lights, before your car leaves you stranded.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a kleine beurt and a grote beurt?

A kleine beurt is the basic service: oil, oil filter and a general check. A grote beurt is more extensive, with extra filters, spark plugs and parts the manufacturer schedules at longer intervals. We look at your car's history and tell you what it needs now.

How much does a service cost?

It depends on the car and what it needs. Send make, model, year and mileage on WhatsApp and you'll get the price upfront.

Do I need an appointment?

It's best to send a WhatsApp first, so we can plan a time that suits you.

My engine light is on. Can I keep driving?

If the light is flashing or the car loses power, stop and get it towed. If it's on steadily and the car drives normally, bring it in calmly, but don't wait too long. We read the fault code and explain what's going on.
