Doorstep or workshop — which suits my car job?
Quick answer
Periodic service, AC work, battery replacement, brake pads, diagnostics and pre-purchase inspections are all doorstep jobs. Jobs needing a hoist, paint booth or heavy machining — overhauls, accident repair, wheel alignment — belong at a workshop, and we say so before starting.
The honest dividing line is equipment: if the job needs a lift, a press or a paint booth, no one can do it properly in a parking bay. For everything else, the doorstep version is the same checklist with the same OEM-grade parts — with the written quote and inspection happening at your gate.
Related questions
What if you find a workshop-only job mid-service?
You are told before anything is done, the visit is charged only for what was completed, and the workshop path is quoted separately.
Is doorstep work safe for my warranty?
Warranty on a specific part stays with the part maker; if the car is inside its free-service period, we recommend using those visits first.
