RO-01
Oil and filter, plus the fluids the quick lubes skip — brake, coolant, transmission where the maker allows it. If the air filter is dirty I show it to you; I don’t just add a line.
Price $65–$120
Typical time: about 45 minutes — waiting is fine
RO-02
Pads, rotors, and hardware — parts and labor, per axle. If your rotors still measure within spec, I tell you that and you keep the difference.
Price $180–$420 per axle
Typical time: half a day — drop off in the morning
RO-03
Check-engine lights, electrical faults, the noise that only happens when it rains. One flat fee to find the cause — and if I do the repair, the fee comes off the bill.
Price $95 flat, credited toward the repair
Typical time: usually same day
RO-04
Struts, control arms, tie rods, wheel bearings. The range is wide because a bushing is not a pair of struts — your written estimate narrows it to one number.
Price $150–$800
Typical time: book a full day
RO-05
Timing belts & major service
The big intervals: timing belts, water pumps, 100k-mile plug and coolant services. Priced from your VIN before you book — not after the engine is open.
Price $400–$1,400
Typical time: one to two days
RO-06
An hour on the lift before you buy someone else’s problem. You get a written report, photos, and a straight answer — including “walk away” when that’s the answer.
Price $120 flat
Typical time: about an hour — book a day ahead
