About London Jobs...
Let's address the elephant in the room. The congestion-charging, ULEZ-checking, bus-lane-camera-flashing elephant.
So you want us in London? No problem! We love London. Great city. Lovely people. Absolute nightmare to drive in.
Here's the thing: we run proper vehicles. Old school. Diesel. The kind that ULEZ was specifically designed to upset. Every time we cross into the zone, Sadiq Khan personally sends us a bill. Or at least it feels that way.
And the traffic? Oh, the traffic. What should be a 30-minute job turns into a 3-hour expedition. We've seen things on the North Circular that would make a grown mechanic weep.
So for London jobs, we reserve the right to add:
ULEZ Emotional Damage Fee
For the pain of watching £12.50 leave our account
Congestion Charge Contribution
Because apparently breathing costs money now
Traffic Therapy Surcharge
To cover the counselling we'll need after sitting in traffic for 4 hours
Bus Lane Anxiety Premium
For the stress of not knowing which lanes are trying to fine us
Parking Spot Discovery Fee
Finding parking in London is basically a treasure hunt
😂 Just kidding. We won't actually charge you extra for any of that nonsense. We'll figure out a fair price that works for everyone. We're mechanics, not monsters.
Seriously though, if you're in London and need help, just call us. We'll work something out. The ULEZ jokes are free.
