Getting here from DHA

Walton Road runs toward Defence Mor, and the Punjab government has approved a signal-free corridor from Centre Point Gulberg to Defence Mor on Walton Road. Drive time from your phase depends on traffic. It is usually about 5 to 10 minutes from the DHA phases, depending on traffic. The workshop is inside a narrow lane, so call us when you are close.

Newer cars need careful diagnosis

Many cars today carry sensors and control modules, so a warning light is a starting point. A scan gives a code, and the next step is testing to find which part is actually at fault. We explain the result before recommending parts. We use professional diagnostic and scanning tools, and we work on all makes and models except fully electric vehicles.

Looking after a car in Lahore conditions

  • Stop-start traffic wears brake pads and clutches faster than steady highway driving.
  • Summer heat, which routinely passes 40°C in Lahore in June, stresses the battery, coolant and air conditioning.
  • Dust clogs air and cabin filters, which reduces engine performance and AC airflow.
  • Uneven road surfaces and speed breakers wear shock absorbers, bushes and tyres.

What to tell us before you visit

  • Your car make, model and year
  • The symptom, in your own words: noise, smell, light or behaviour
  • When it started and whether it happens hot, cold or at certain speeds
  • Any warning lights on the dashboard
  • Recent repairs or services, and any receipts you have

What your first visit looks like

  • Call or message us before you come, so we can tell you when we can look at the car.
  • Describe the problem and bring any warning-light photos or recent receipts.
  • We inspect the car, scan it if needed, and explain what we find.
  • You get a written estimate in PKR, and nothing starts until you agree.
  • We repair, road-test, and explain what was done before you collect the car.

Newer cars and warranties

If your car is still under a manufacturer warranty, check the terms before choosing where to have it serviced. Some warranties have conditions about servicing intervals and parts. Keep every receipt, and ask us to record the odometer reading and the work done. We are happy to explain what we would do, and you can decide what suits your warranty.

Dealer workshop or independent workshop?

Dealer workshops use manufacturer procedures and diagnostic tools for their brand, and often cost more. Independent workshops are often more flexible on price and parts choice, and a good one will explain what it is doing. What matters most is transparency: a written estimate, clear parts information and honest advice about what can wait.

Hybrids and electronics

If your car is a hybrid or carries a lot of electronics, tell us when you book. Some systems need specialist tools or procedures, and we would rather say so honestly than guess. We work on all makes and models except fully electric vehicles.

Frequently asked questions

Do you pick up cars from DHA?

We offer mobile service across Lahore, including DHA, and nearby cities, with no call-out charge if you are close by. Call us on 0300 9406506 to arrange it.

Do you work on the cars common in DHA?

We work on all makes and models except fully electric vehicles. Send us your make and model.

Can you do a check before a long trip?

Yes. A pre-trip check of tyres, brakes, fluids, battery, lights and AC is a good use of a visit.

Do you give a written estimate?

Yes, in PKR, before work starts.

Will a service outside the dealer affect my warranty?

It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Check them, and keep records.
