Services and prices

Fixed from-prices including VAT. Parts are always quoted before we start, and if you go ahead with a repair the diagnostic fee comes off the bill.

Computer diagnostics

From €45Time 45–60 min

We plug into every module the car has, not just the engine. Then we do the part most places skip: test the actual circuit before replacing anything, so you only pay for the part that failed.

What we check

  • Engine, gearbox, ABS, airbag and body modules
  • Live sensor data and freeze-frame records
  • Wiring and connector tests with a multimeter and scope
  • Written report with fault codes in plain language

Batteries and charging

From €25Time 20–40 min

Heat kills batteries faster than cold, so in Malta three to four years is normal. We test before we sell, and we register stop-start batteries to the car so the charging system treats them correctly.

What we check

  • Battery health and cold-cranking test
  • Alternator output and ripple
  • Parasitic drain when the car is locked
  • Stop-start battery coding (AGM and EFB)

What we check

  • Voltage drop on the starter circuit
  • Solenoid and earth connections
  • Alternator diode and regulator test
  • Auxiliary belt and tensioner

Car AC regas and repair

From €65Time About 1 hour

We recover, vacuum test and recharge to the exact weight on your car's label. If it will not hold vacuum, we trace the leak with UV dye instead of selling you gas that disappears in a week.

What we check

  • Vacuum leak test before recharging
  • Vent temperature at the centre outlet
  • Compressor clutch and pressure switches
  • Cabin filter condition

  • Insulation resistance test
  • Battery and inverter cooling system
  • 12V auxiliary battery and charge port

Dashcams and reverse cameras

From €85Time About 2 hours

Hardwired to a fused circuit with low-voltage cut-off, so parking mode never flattens your battery. Cables run under trim, not across the windscreen.
