P1-AUTO CENTRE MISSION STATEMENT
"Our customer's service requirements come first". Our work is guaranteed; provide value for money & we will only use high quality components. Our reputation relies on our customers’ experience of which we hope to exceed.”
“From our motorsport back ground, we show our customers how our services & the methods we use are effective in reducing future problems & saving them money. We call it preventive maintenance”.
“We invest in equipment & presentation which enables us to provide high quality services while also reducing the environmental impact from the motor car industry.”
Some examples of the equipment we have & use are –
An exhausted air recirculating system compressor for our air supply. This design reduces noise & electricity consumption while producing a more consistent supply of compressed air. This machine was awarded 1st prize for ABC's best inventor/invention in 2006. Need an air tool? Click here
A carbon cleaning engine system that has no chemicals, reducing pollutants & is more effective in reducing emissions of the vehicle over a shorter time frame. If a car can't meet its emissions target, it will after this treatment
Our cooling system & transmission service equipment are sealed units which minimize spillage of new or old lubricants from impacting the environment
The parts washer we use is solvent free & non toxic, no longer do we need to dump unwanted waste
Our workshop floor have been painted with a two-pack sealant, which is far superior to the standard petrol-resistant concrete paint used in many other mechanical workshops, reducing any accidental spillage from seeping through the concrete & damaging the soil & undergrowth or contaminating our waterways.
Our reception area is fitted with air conditioning so you can sit & wait comfortably on those hot summer days, & heated in winter to escape the cold. We also offer free coffee, tea or water, but if the customer has some free change, we ask they make a small donation into the MS Society cash tin that we proudly support.
