About Halfshaft
A workshop you can actually talk to.
Halfshaft opened in 2006 with two hoists, a borrowed diagnostic scanner and a promise: no surprise bills.
Our story
We've grown to six hoists and nine people, but the promise hasn't changed. If we find something while your car's up, you get a call, a photo and a price, and you decide.
Our mechanics are qualified and keep training, on hybrids, on the newest scan tools, on whatever's rolling into the bay this year. The workshop is clean because that's how you find a leak.
Plenty of our customers have been bringing us their cars for fifteen years. Some of them now bring their kids' cars too.
- 19years in the bay
- 6hoists
- 14,000+services done
- 12-monthparts and labour warranty
What we stand by
Three things we won't budge on.
- 01
Ring first
Nothing beyond what you booked gets done without a call and your go-ahead.
- 02
Show the part
Photos of what we found, and the old parts kept for you to see if you'd like.
- 03
Fair, written prices
Labour and parts itemised on every invoice, with the same rate for every customer.
Why Halfshaft
No surprise bills. If we find something while your car's on the hoist, we ring you, send a photo, tell you what it costs and whether it can wait. You decide. A lot of the time, the honest answer is that it can.
