European cars, serviced to the book.
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.
Two countries. Nothing else.
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.
Every visit, written down like it matters.
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.
- Brake pad and tire tread measured in millimetres, every visit
- Part numbers and fluid specs listed, not just “oil change”
- Next service due by distance and by date, whichever comes first
- Useful when you sell: a buyer can read the whole history
Two prices on every quote.
Most parts in a European car come from a handful of suppliers. The same part often ships in the maker's box or in the supplier's own box, for less. We show you both and you decide, line by line.
- OEM
- The maker's branded part, from a dealer parts counter.
- OE-equivalent
- Made by the supplier that makes the original, sold in its own box. Same warranty from us.
| Part | OEM | OE-equiv. |
|---|---|---|
| Front brake discs and padswith wear sensor | $612 | $468 |
| Water pump and thermostatelectric pump, gaskets included | $1,040 | $745 |
| Ignition coils, set of four | $356 | $248 |
| Engine air filter | $64 | $41 |
| Serpentine belt and tensioner | $298 | $212 |
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.
