Servicing and pre-sale preparation

You've bought a vehicle and don't know where to take it. Or you're about to sell and want more for it. I take it to mechanics I use myself and watch the work being done.

Price
from ฿2,000 to arrange and supervise
Parts and workshop labour are billed separately. You see the estimate before any work starts and decide what gets done and what waits.
Bought through me? I arrange the first service with no fee for my part — you pay the workshop only.

What's included

  • An assessment of what needs doing now, what can wait and what is best left alone
  • A written estimate before work starts — you decide what to do and what to skip
  • I drop the vehicle off and pick it up, so you don't have to go anywhere
  • Quality control on the work and a check once the repair is finished
  • Pre-sale preparation: deep clean, polish, small cosmetic work

How it works

1

Assessment

I look the vehicle over and split the list into critical, worthwhile and unnecessary.

2

Estimate

Parts and labour priced up, numbers shown before anything begins.

3

Work

I take it to the workshop, follow the job and send you photos.

4

Handover

I check the result and bring the vehicle back to you.

Guarantee

I answer for the work being done to the agreed estimate and the agreed scope. If a workshop gets something wrong, I take it up with them — not you.

FAQ

Do you have your own workshop?

No, and that is the honest answer. I work with several workshops in Phuket and take each vehicle to whichever does that particular job best.

Why not just go to a workshop myself?

You can. The difference is that you'll be quoted one price and I'll be quoted the working one, and that I know where corners get cut.

How much does this add to the resale price?

It depends on the vehicle. A clean, polished, serviced scooter sells faster and for more — but I won't promise a specific figure in advance.

Is the repair guaranteed?

The workshop gives the guarantee and I make sure it is written down. The term depends on the type of work.
