Pricing

Car service prices in Lahore, published up front.

Engine tuning is Rs 3,000 and general tuning is Rs 4,000, both flat whatever you drive. Parts, consumables and anything found during an inspection are quoted per car, and the rest of this page is about exactly how that figure is built, what is never charged for, and what happens if a job turns out bigger than the estimate.

Your estimate

Four lines, itemised, before anything starts

  • LabourTime on your vehicle
  • PartsNamed and specified
  • ConsumablesOil, fluids, washers, mats
  • Diagnosis timeOnly where a fault must be found

Figures are filled in for your specific vehicle once it has been inspected. You approve the total before a spanner is turned.

The honest version

Why one published figure would be misleading

A single advertised price only holds up if every car is the same car. Three things make certain that they are not, and none of them are known to us until your booking details arrive or a technician is standing next to the vehicle.
  1. Engine size, oil grade and capacity

    A three-cylinder city car might take under four litres of a mid-range oil. A six-cylinder SUV can take eight of a fully synthetic grade its manufacturer specifies by name and will not tolerate a substitute for. Identical line on the invoice, materially different cost - and the difference is the oil, not the labour.

  2. Parts availability and specification

    The same filter exists at several price points depending on who made it and what is actually on a shelf this week. Where there is a real choice, it should be yours to make with both options in front of you. An advertised figure has already made that choice for you, quietly, before you knew there was one.

  3. Condition, which nobody knows yet

    Two cars of the same model and year can be a decade apart in condition. A seized bleed nipple, a rounded sump plug, or pads that have taken the disc down with them all change what the job is. Quoting before the inspection means quoting a car we have not met.

What a flat price has to do to survive

Publishing one number is easy. Making it true is not, and the ways it stays true are all paid for by somebody.

  • It has to be set high enough to survive the worst car that might book it, so the well-kept ones quietly subsidise the neglected ones.
  • It has to assume a parts choice on your behalf, made before anyone told you a choice existed.
  • And it has to be renegotiated on your driveway when the car does not match the assumption - which is the worst possible moment to discover the number was a guess.

Quoting per car is the version where you pay for your vehicle rather than for the average of everybody else’s. It costs us an advertisement and it costs you a two-minute booking form.

Service packages

What each tune costs, before you book

Essential Care is Rs 3,000 and Complete Care is Rs 4,000, both flat whatever the engine. Both include the oil change as labour - the oil itself, and any AC gas, are charged on top.

Choosing between them

What each package is actually for

Most people over-buy or under-buy a service because the names sound like sizes. They are not sizes - they are different questions being answered about the car.
Car Cure service packages compared by the situation each one suits and where its scope ends
Package
Essential CareA car that has turned rough, thirsty or hesitant and needs its breathing and ignition cleaned upThe engine has gone rough, thirsty or hesitant. The intake, sensors, plugs and coils get cleaned, the throttle body is recalibrated, and the scan says whether anything else is logged.Engine work only, at one price for any engine size. The AC gas is not checked and the brakes are not touched - Complete Care is the one that covers both.
Complete CareThe full visit - anything you have owned a while, or a car going into summer with the AC and brakes untouchedThe full visit, and the one most cars want: the same engine tuning, plus the AC gas checked and the brakes stripped of rust and greased before summer.One flat figure whatever you drive. Oil and AC gas are charged separately - the change and the top-up are not.
Premium CareA car that is due everything at once - tuning, fuel system and cooling in a single visitThe car is due everything at once. It is the general tune plus the two systems that tune leaves alone - the fuel pump cleaned and its pressure checked, and the radiator flushed and refilled.Oil and AC gas are charged separately, as on the other tiers. Anything the work uncovers is quoted and agreed with you before it is done.

Still between two of them? Book the lower one and say so in the notes. The inspection happens first either way, and the technician can tell you on the spot whether the extra scope is worth it for your car - which is a better basis for the decision than a table.

How a quote is built

Four lines, and nothing hiding between them

An estimate is not one number with a story attached. It is four separate things, written out separately, so you can question any one of them without unpicking the whole quote.

What appears on the estimate

Every line written out, before work begins

Labour
Time on your vehicle, estimated from the work it actually needs rather than a flat figure applied to every car with four wheels. Where a job is likely to run long - a fastener someone has previously over-tightened, an access panel that has to come off first - you are told that while the estimate is still an estimate.
Parts
Every component that stays on the car, listed by name and specification rather than as a single word. Where there is a genuine choice between options at different price points, both go on the estimate and you pick the one you want fitted.
Consumables
What the job uses up rather than fits: oil and fluids, cleaners, sealants, drain plug washers, gloves, absorbent mats. Small individually, and itemised rather than folded into the labour line where nobody can see them.
Diagnosis time
Where a fault has to be found before it can be priced, the testing is time and appears as its own line. It is the line that keeps a diagnosis from being paid for in unnecessary parts, which is the more expensive way to do it. The worked examples show that line doing its job, including the times a test cleared the expensive part instead of condemning it.

Anything charged for belongs to one of those four lines, and each is written out rather than rolled into a single total. If a line does not make sense to you, ask - it gets explained rather than defended.

No extra charge

What is included whatever you book

These four are not a package tier, an add-on or a promotion. They are how the job is done, so they cannot be removed to make a quote look smaller - and they never appear as a line on your estimate.
  • The inspection checklistIncluded

    Every visit runs the documented checklist for the service you booked, and the completed copy is yours to keep. It is part of the job rather than an extra bolted onto it.

  • The photographic recordIncluded

    Anything flagged is photographed where it sits on your car, so a recommendation arrives as evidence you can look at rather than an opinion you have to accept.

  • The explanationIncluded

    The technician who did the work tells you what was found, what was done and what it means - in language that leaves you able to make the next decision without needing us in the room.

  • Taking the old parts and used oil awayIncluded

    Used oil leaves in sealed containers, old batteries go for recycling, and replaced parts are shown to you before they are removed - unless you would rather keep them.

If the job grows

How we handle a change in scope

Extra work is discovered in the middle of a service, not conveniently at the beginning of one. What matters is what happens in the moments after the technician finds it, so that sequence is fixed rather than left to judgement.
  1. 01

    We stop

    The moment something outside the agreed scope appears, the work pauses. Nothing further is dismantled and nothing is fitted on the assumption that you would obviously have said yes.

  2. 02

    We call

    The technician rings you directly. Not a message relayed through an office that has not seen the car, and not a note you find on the paperwork afterwards.

  3. 03

    We itemise

    You get the finding, what it means if it is left alone, the parts and time a fix would take, and an honest view on whether it can safely wait until the next service. It is added to the same estimate you already have.

  4. 04

    We wait for your answer

    Yes, no, or later. If the answer is no, the original job is finished exactly as agreed and the finding stays on your checklist as a note for next time. Nothing reaches an invoice that you have not seen first.

The point of the sequence is that an estimate you approved stays the estimate you approved. A phone call mid-job is not an inconvenience we tolerate - it is the mechanism that keeps the first number honest.

Ask a question first

Pricing questions

What people ask before they ask for a number

If your question is about your specific car, it is genuinely faster to describe it to an advisor than to read around it here.

Still not sure?

Describe the symptom in your own words and an advisor will tell you what is likely involved before you commit to anything.

Each package carries a per-visit price that covers the labour and the checks that package lists. Parts, oils and filters depend on the vehicle - its engine, the oil grade it takes and what it actually needs - so those are quoted separately and itemised on your estimate before any work starts. If the inspection uncovers something outside the package scope, we stop and call you before continuing. Nothing is added to an invoice that you did not approve first.

Tell us the car. We will tell you the price.

Make, model, year and what it needs is enough to start. You get an itemised estimate before any work begins, and submitting a booking request charges you nothing.

Submitting a booking request costs nothing and charges nothing. An advisor confirms your slot before a technician is dispatched.
