Maker's intervals, factory-level diagnostics and a written record of every visit, at an independent shop's rates. German and Swedish cars only, so we know them well.
Staying narrow means the right software, the right special tools and parts suppliers who know us by name.
Kestrel Euro Auto is an independent shop and is not affiliated with any manufacturer. Make names describe the cars we service.
Paper service books get lost and dealer records stay with the dealer. We keep a logbook for each car: what we did, which parts went in, what we measured and what is coming up next. You get it as a PDF the day the car goes home.

24/40kMonths / kilometres of warranty on our work
Every repair we do is covered for 24 months or 40,000 km, whichever comes first, on the parts we supplied and the labour to fit them. OEM or OE-equivalent, the cover is the same.
If something we fixed fails inside that window, bring it back and we put it right. The terms are printed on your invoice and in the logbook.
Four kinds of visit cover almost everything we do. Each page lists what is included and what it usually costs.
Oil services, inspections and major intervals, done to the maker's schedule.
Warning lights, timing chains and belts, cooling systems, gearboxes.
