Our approach

Small issues before they become big ones

Most big repair bills start as small problems that were left alone. A new noise, a slow leak or a light on the dash are all easy to dismiss. Looking at them early is almost always cheaper than waiting.

DAS AUTO takes on engine work and general mechanical repairs. We find out what is going on, tell you in plain language and agree the plan with you before we pick up a tool.

How it works

From first call to finished job

01

We listen

Tell us what you are seeing, hearing or feeling and when it happens. The detail you give us shortens the search.

02

We look

We inspect the car and where needed run diagnostics. You get a clear explanation of what is wrong.

03

We agree the plan

You hear what the repair involves and what is urgent. Nothing starts without your say.

04

We do the job

The repair is done in the workshop and we explain what was done when you collect the car.

Signs to act on

When to book a repair

  • Knocking, grinding or whining noises
  • Fluid leaks or a smell of burning
  • The engine overheating or losing power
  • Vibration through the car or steering
  • A warning light that stays on
  • A WOF fail that needs repair work

Repairs and the rest of the picture

A repair often connects with other work. A rough-running engine might lead to diagnostics. A failed inspection might lead here from the WOF page. A car in regular servicing is less likely to need big repairs at all.

Repair questions

Will you tell me what is wrong before starting?

Yes. Clear advice before any work starts is how we work.

Can you repair my car after a WOF fail?

Yes. Ask us about repairs when you collect the failed result or bring the list in. See the WOF page.

What if you find something else?

We explain it and separate the urgent from what can wait. You decide.
