Booking Fees

Hi Guys & Girls.

After lots of consideration I have come to the decision that for ALL future bookings a £20 booking fee will be required. This is due to the large amount of people who think it’s OK to not turn up or cancel at the last minute.

The Booking Fee can be paid by Paypal or Bank Transfer and is deducted from the final bill. This deposit is ONLY refundable with at least 7 days notice of cancellation.

I’m sorry it’s come to this but i can’t keep throwing money away travelling to work or loosing a days work that could of been booked for somebody else.

Some prices…

Here’s a small list of some of the basic services I offer.

Lowering

  • Adjust Torsion bar to any height & Fit front springs ~ £90 ( Shock fitting is Free)
  • Just Torsion Bar ~ £60
  • Fit springs ~ £20 per corner
  • Group bookings ~2 cars @ £80 each. OR 3 cars @ £70 each. ~ This is for torsion bar and springs – Please organise amongst yourselves

All torsion bars are lowered the correct way as to not cause damage to the Trailing arm bearings. Lowering increases the risk of the bearing failure BUT Lowering the correct way minimises this greatly. All torsion bars are fully removed, splines cleaned, rust removed and re-assembled. As mentioned above, lowering may casue premature failure of the trailing arm bearings, it is your responsibility to periodically check for any play in the trailing arms (both rear wheels off the floor) and to check for camber on the rear wheels by standing at the rear of the car with the wheels on the floor and on level ground.

Lowering a car all round usually takes about 3 Hours.

Please be aware that on certain models of 106’s and saxo’s, lowering may cause the offside steering arm to rub on a power steering pipe. I will always check to see if it’s rubbing and adjust the pipe so that it clears,  However,  it is your responsibility to check periodically the clearance between the pipe and steering arm.
