Master workshop Hanau since 2009

Honest work,
properly documented.

We service, inspect and repair vehicles of all makes – from small cars to vans. Every item is on the estimate before we start, every replaced part is yours to keep on request, and what we did is properly recorded in the service book.

01 Services

Six things we do every day.

“From” means the price for the simplest case, VAT included. What your vehicle actually needs, we tell you before the work – not afterwards.

  1. Service & inspection

    Maintenance to the manufacturer’s schedule with oil, filters and an inspection report. Entered in the digital service book – your warranty stays intact.

    from€149

  2. Diagnostics

    Read the fault memory, narrow down the cause, estimate the work. A clear answer instead of swapping parts on a hunch.

    €59credited against the repair

  3. Tyres

    Changing, balancing, storage and TPMS service. With honest advice, if you want it, on whether the old ones will last another season.

    from€29

  4. Brakes

    Pads, discs, fluid and a brake-tester reading. We show you the old parts before they go in the bin.

    from€189front axle, pads and discs

  5. Air conditioning

    Leak test, refrigerant top-up, system disinfection. For R134a and R1234yf, with a written report.

    from€89

  6. TÜV inspection (HU/AU)

    The statutory German roadworthiness and emissions test: pre-check and preparation, then presented to the testing organisation on site – usually back the same day with a new sticker.

    €49preparation; test fee separate

02 Pricing

Three rules so the invoice holds no surprises.

We make our money on good work, not on small print. So these rules apply to every job – no exceptions.

  1. Estimate first

    Before we pick up a spanner, you know what it costs. If anything comes up, we call – beforehand, not on the invoice.

  2. Diagnostics are credited

    Have us fix the fault we found and we take the full €59 diagnostics fee off the invoice.

  3. Old parts are yours

    On request we put the replaced parts in your boot. Every item is listed separately on the invoice, with its part number.

All prices incl. 19% VAT. The actual price depends on the vehicle, the parts required and its condition, and is set out in the estimate before work begins.

03 How it works

Three steps to a finished car.

There’s nothing to prepare. Vehicle, issue and preferred date are enough – we sort out the rest on the phone.

  1. Enquire

    Fill in the form or call. If you can describe the fault, good; if not, we’ll have a listen.

  2. Confirmation

    We get back to you within one working day by phone or e-mail, confirm the appointment and give you an idea of the work involved.

  3. Drop-off & collection

    Hand in the keys, pick up the car – or let us do it: pick-up & drop-off service in the Hanau area, just tick the box on the form.

04 Workshop

One building, four lifts, seven people.

Markus Petroll opened the workshop in 2009 with one lift and a second-hand diagnostic tester. Today it employs three qualified mechanics, two apprentices and a service adviser who, when you call, tells you where your car is at rather than playing you hold music. We repair what is worth repairing – and tell you when it isn’t.

We work to manufacturer data and test with the same equipment the main dealer uses. The difference: here the master mechanic still works on the car himself, and the estimate comes from the person doing the job.

You’re welcome to watch. The workshop floor is in plain view, the coffee is on the counter, and there’s always someone around for questions.
