Flint Auto

Our Services

Transparent estimates, quality parts, and technicians who take the time to explain what your vehicle needs — and what can wait.

Workshop menu

Every job is itemised before we begin. Pricing below is a starting point; final quotes follow inspection and your approval.

  • Routine Maintenance / Full Service

    Scheduled care to protect your warranty, fuel economy, and long-term reliability.

    Our full service follows a structured checklist tailored to your vehicle’s age and manufacturer intervals. We replace fluids and filters with quality products, record measurements, and flag anything that may need attention before it becomes a breakdown.

    What's included

    • Engine oil and filter replacement
    • Air and cabin filter checks (replace if required)
    • Fluid level top-up (coolant, brake fluid, washer, power steering where applicable)
    • Multi-point safety inspection (brakes, tyres, steering, lights, belts, hoses)
    • Battery test and charging system check
    • Tyre pressures and visual tread inspection
    • Service reminder reset and digital job card notes

    Estimated time

    1.5 – 3 hours (model dependent)

    Starting from

    From US$85

  • Brake Services

    Stopping power you can feel — pads, discs, hydraulics, and fluid matched to how you drive.

    Brakes wear gradually; our job is to measure what is left, explain options clearly, and restore consistent pedal feel. We match friction materials to your vehicle and can address noise, vibration, or pulling under braking with a methodical approach.

    What's included

    • Brake pad inspection and replacement
    • Disc / rotor assessment and skimming where safe and economical
    • Brake fluid condition test and full flush when due
    • Caliper slide and hardware inspection
    • Parking brake function check
    • Post-service bedding guidance and road-test where appropriate

    Estimated time

    1 – 4 hours depending on axles and disc work

    Starting from

    From US$95 (pads; discs / skim quoted after inspection)

  • Engine Diagnostics

    Modern fault finding with dealer-grade tooling and technicians who interpret data, not just read codes.

    Warning lights and rough running need structured diagnosis. We retrieve and clear codes where safe, review live data, and trace faults to root causes — whether sensor, wiring, mechanical, or software-related — before recommending parts.

    What's included

    • OBD-II / manufacturer scan tool readout
    • Fault code analysis and freeze-frame review
    • Live data monitoring under load
    • Component and wiring tests where indicated
    • Performance and drivability assessment (idle, acceleration, emissions hints)
    • Written findings with repair options and priority order

    Estimated time

    1 – 3 hours (complex cases may require additional time)

    Starting from

    From US$45 (scan & report; labour additional if repairs agreed)

  • Suspension & Steering

    Comfort, stability, and even tyre wear — shocks, bushings, alignment, and steering components done properly.

    Knocks over bumps, wandering on the highway, or uneven tyre wear often trace back to suspension or geometry. We inspect systematically, replace worn parts with correct torque and alignment in mind, and verify the result on the road.

    What's included

    • Shock absorber and strut assessment / replacement
    • Suspension bushings and link inspection
    • Four-wheel alignment and geometry adjustment
    • Power steering fluid and system leak checks
    • Steering rack / pump assessment where applicable
    • Post-repair alignment printout on request

    Estimated time

    2 – 5 hours (alignment often same visit)

    Starting from

    From US$55 (inspection & alignment; parts quoted separately)

  • Electrical Systems

    Starting, charging, lighting, and body electrics diagnosed without guess-replacement of parts.

    Electrical faults need patience and methodical testing. We measure voltages and drops, load-test batteries, and trace circuits so you replace the right component once — whether alternator, starter, earth point, or a damaged harness section.

    What's included

    • Battery health and load testing
    • Alternator output and diode ripple checks
    • Starter motor draw and engagement tests
    • Parasitic drain investigation (by appointment)
    • Lighting, fuse, and relay circuit checks
    • Wiring repair and connector cleaning where safe

    Estimated time

    1 – 4 hours depending on fault type

    Starting from

    From US$40 (test & report)

  • Air Conditioning

    Comfort in every season — regas, leak detection, and compressor repairs with proper evacuation procedures.

    Weak cooling often means low refrigerant or a failing component. We recover and weigh gas where equipment allows, pressure-test the system, locate leaks with UV or electronic detection, and repair or replace compressors, condensers, and controls as needed.

    What's included

    • System pressure and vent temperature checks
    • Refrigerant recovery, vacuum, and re-gas to specification
    • Leak detection (electronic / UV as appropriate)
    • Compressor, condenser, and expansion valve assessment
    • Cabin filter recommendation where it affects air flow
    • Post-service performance verification

    Estimated time

    1 – 3 hours (repairs may extend)

    Starting from

    From US$65 (service & regas; leaks priced after test)

  • Clutch & Transmission

    Driveability restored — clutch kits, hydraulics, and gearbox oil services for manual and selected automatics.

    Slipping clutch, notchy shifts, or noisy bearings need workshop space and the right tools. We use quality kits, machine flywheels when specified, and refill gearboxes with the correct grade of oil so shift quality and longevity are protected.

    What's included

    • Clutch kit replacement and flywheel inspection
    • Release bearing and pilot bearing replacement as required
    • Clutch hydraulic bleed and master/slave assessment
    • Manual gearbox oil drain and refill
    • Basic automatic fluid service where manufacturer allows (not all models)
    • Road test and adjustment verification

    Estimated time

    4 – 8 hours for clutch (vehicle dependent)

    Starting from

    From US$280 (clutch kit & labour varies by model)

  • Pre-Purchase Inspections

    Buy with confidence — a structured report before you commit, focused on safety and hidden costs.

    We inspect the vehicle as if we were buying it for our own family: structural hints, engine health, transmission behaviour, brakes, suspension, electrics, and evidence of poor repairs. You receive a clear written summary to support your negotiation or walk-away decision.

    What's included

    • Exterior and underbody structural visual inspection
    • Engine bay fluid leaks, belts, and mounts
    • Road test (where insured and permitted)
    • OBD scan for stored codes and readiness monitors
    • Brake and tyre percentage estimates
    • Interior, safety systems, and convenience checks
    • Written report with photos on request

    Estimated time

    1.5 – 2.5 hours

    Starting from

    From US$75
