Frequently asked questions
How, much does a service cost
Like visiting a doctor it’s nearly impossible to tell how much a vehicle service will cost. We need to see the vehicle and inspect the vehicle before we are able to issue price.
My engine light is on. What does that mean?
Every warning light on your dashboard is there for a reason. The Engine light warns for a number of reasons and some of these are easy to resolve yourself. However if you aren’t able to resolve the issue and the light remains illuminated then bring it in to us and we will diagnose the issue for you.
Are you reputable?
With a combined 50+ years of experience, the DR Automotive team is well equipped and well informed. We constantly aim to convert our first time customers into long term customers.
Do you have the right equipment?
We may specialise in BMW and Mercedes vehicles but we have all the right equipment, relationships and suppliers to work on any vehicle brand.
Will you quote me fairly?
Our diagnostic-before-quote policy ensures that we don’t offer unrealistic quotes for vehicle services. It also allows us the opportunity to asses the full extent of the issues with your vehicle so we can quote on the most cost effective solution.
We want to earn the trust of our clients and fair treatment is crucial to that.
