Unwavering Commitment During Challenging Times
The recent global health crisis has presented unique challenges for everyone, but at Robert's Auto Service, our priority remains the safety and health of our customers and staff. We've implemented rigorous cleaning and sanitisation protocols across our entire premises, on an hourly basis, to ensure a sterile and safe environment. Every vehicle that enters and leaves our workshop undergoes careful handling, with key touchpoints thoroughly disinfected.
We understand that many are concerned about unnecessary contact, which is why we've adapted our services to meet these needs. Our team is fully briefed on best practices for hygiene and social distancing, ensuring that every interaction, whether over the phone or during a vehicle handover, is conducted with the utmost care and professionalism. Your safety, and ours, is paramount.
Exceptional Convenience Tailored to You
Recognising the need for reduced contact and increased flexibility, Robert's Auto Service is proud to offer a highly convenient vehicle pick-up and drop-off service. If it's absolutely necessary and you're unable to bring your vehicle to us, we can come to your location, collect your car, and return it once the work is completed. This service is designed to provide ultimate convenience and peace of mind, allowing you to manage your vehicle's needs without leaving the comfort or safety of your home.
Our process is simple and seamless. We will arrange with you over the phone precisely where you can leave your keys – perhaps in a designated secure spot or a specific outdoor location. Once our team is on your premises for collection or return, we'll text or call you to confirm. This contactless approach ensures your safety while providing the essential service your vehicle requires. It's just one way we're adapting to support our valued customers during these unprecedented times.

Neglecting routine servicing can lead to more significant, and often more expensive, repairs down the line.
A well-maintained vehicle is also a safer vehicle. Regular checks on brakes, tyres, steering, and suspension components are vital for your safety and the safety of other road users.
