Will servicing here void my new-car warranty?+
No. Under Australian Consumer Law, you can service your car at any qualified workshop using genuine or OEM-equivalent parts and your manufacturer warranty stays intact — the ACCC has been explicit about this. We stamp your logbook to manufacturer specification, use OEM parts and Petronas engine oils to manufacturer specification, and document every job. Your warranty isn't a dealership monopoly.
PPF vs ceramic coating — what's the difference?+
PPF (paint protection film) is a physical clear urethane layer — it stops stone chips, key scratches, and impact damage. Ceramic coating is a chemical layer — it makes water bead, makes washing easier, and adds gloss, but it won't stop a rock chip. They do different jobs. The best protection for a prestige car is PPF on impact zones (front bumper, bonnet, headlights, mirrors) plus ceramic over the rest of the car. We'll recommend what suits how you actually drive.
Do you service my make and model?+
We specialise in Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, MINI, Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Tesla. We also service most other European and Japanese passenger vehicles. If your car is exotic, modified, or pre-1995, give us a call before booking so we can confirm parts availability.
Will a wrap or PPF damage my paint?+
No — when installed and removed properly, both wraps and PPF protect the paint underneath rather than damage it. The film bonds to the clearcoat, not the colour. We've removed wraps from cars three, five, and ten years old and revealed factory-fresh paint every time. What damages paint is cheap film, bad installers leaving adhesive residue, or aggressive removal with the wrong tools.
How much is a service?+
Logbook services start from $380, with the final price depending on what the manufacturer schedule calls for at your specific interval. All other mechanical work is quoted in writing after a brief inspection — no open-ended hourly rates, no surprises on collection.
How long does a wrap last?+
Quality cast vinyl from 3M, Avery Dennison and ZR Films is rated for 7–10 years on horizontal panels, 10+ on vertical surfaces. In practice, expect 5–7 years of factory-grade appearance with proper care. Bonnets and front bumpers get more UV and stone hits, so those panels show wear first.
How long will my car be with you?+
Basic service: 1.5–2 hours. Logbook service: 2–4 hours. Roadworthy: 1–2 hours. Larger repairs (suspension overhaul, head gasket, full brake refresh) usually run half-day to two days. We'll give you a realistic timeline at the quote stage.
How long does a wrap or PPF install take?+
Front-end PPF: 1–2 days. Full vehicle PPF: 3–4 days. Partial wrap: 1–3 days. Full vehicle wrap with proper panel disassembly: 5–7 working days. We don't rush installs — the difference between a 3-day full wrap and a 6-day full wrap is the difference between film that lifts at door jambs and film that stays factory-tight for a decade.
