Performance check
Vent temperature at idle and after a short drive — the complaint is usually “fine at 40, useless at 80”.
Stamped plates
The work we take on a ramp
These are the jobs we schedule every week. If you need panel beating, windscreen bonding, or a dealer-only software lock, we will tell you at the counter instead of taking the key and hoping.
Plate 01
Oil, filters, and what the sump tells us
Oil changes here include a drain, a filter that matches the housing, a fresh washer, and a level check after a short run. We note metal in the drainings, coolant in the oil, or a housing that weeps from the seal.
Bring the last interval if you know it. Short urban trips in Rishon cook oil faster than a highway sticker claims. We will not “top and go” a sludge engine and call it a service.
Plate 02
Brakes you can measure, not market
Pads, discs, sliders, and fluid that has been in the lines too long. We measure remaining friction material and we look at the handbrake on a slope. A squeal can be dust; a pull can be a seized slider. Those are different invoices.
If a disc is below the stamp, it comes off. We do not skim a stone-damaged face and send you to the test lane hoping the inspector is in a hurry.
Plate 03
AC gas, leak notes, and summer traffic
We recover, weigh, and recharge to the under-bonnet spec when the system is sound. If the gas will not stay, a recharge is a delay, not a repair. You get that in writing before we put more gas in a known leak.
System holds
We recharge and record the weight. No mystery cans from a boot kit.
System will not hold
Stop. Find the leak path. Fitting dye or a further diagnosis is a separate line on the sheet.

Roadworthiness “test” prep
Israel’s annual test fails cars for lamps, tyres, wipers, horn, obvious leaks, and play that a lane can see in seconds. We run that list before you waste a morning in a queue. We are not the testing station and we do not stamp the certificate — we get the car ready to stand on the rollers without surprises we already saw.
- Lights, indicators, number-plate lamps, and a horn that actually sounds.
- Tyre age, tread, and damage on the inner shoulder you cannot see at the kerb.
- Wipers, washers, and a windscreen you can defend to an inspector.
- Handbrake, seatbelts, and doors that latch.
- Exhaust hangers, dripping oil, and a battery that will not die on the lane.
Plate 05
Lamps, codes, and charging
A yellow lamp is a reason to read codes, then to test the thing the code points at. We do not clear a misfire and call the car finished. Batteries, alternators, and earths fail in heat as often as sensors do.
If a module needs a dealer session we cannot open, you leave with the code list and a clear next step — not a half-cleared dashboard.
Off the plate
What we send down the street
Body and paint
Accident work and respray live at a panel shop. We can unbolt what the mechanical job needs.
Locked dealer work
Some keys, gearboxes and ADAS calibrations need tools we do not keep. We say that early.
Luxury waiting rooms
There is a chair and a counter. There is not a concierge. The car is the product.
