Prices
Hourly rate 90 €
The most common jobs have a fixed price. On larger repairs the price depends on what we find in the car, so we give an estimate only once we have seen it. We do not guess over the phone. Parts you bring yourself we fit at the hourly rate, and the warranty then covers the work, not the parts.

Full price listWhat we do
Repairs of every kind
We are not specialised in one make or one job. Most cars in Finland are 10–20 years old, and those are the cars we work on every day.
Scheduled servicing and oil changes
To the manufacturer's service schedule, with the service book filled in. A new car keeps its warranty.
Brakes, suspension and shock absorbers
Pads, discs, control arms, joints and bearings. The most common reason a car fails its inspection.
Fault finding, diagnostics and electrical faults
Warning lights, intermittent faults and starting problems. Electrical faults are work many workshops would rather not take.
Engine work, timing belts and chains
Large jobs that keep a lift occupied for a long time. We have the room for that.
Clutches and gearboxes
Clutch kits, gearbox faults and driveshafts. Demanding jobs are finished here, not passed on.
Exhausts and cooling
Leaks, noises and overheating. Welding is done here as well.
Tyres
Seasonal changes and balancing. We do not sell tyres, fit them to rims or repair punctures.
Air conditioning, batteries and charging systems
Refrigerant work by a mechanic holding the certification. When we change a battery we test the alternator.
We do not do accident repair, painting or vehicle inspection. We are glad to tell you where to go for those.
Shall we agree a time?
Leave a booking request online or call. We confirm the time and tell you the price before any work starts.
