Servicing
When an item is brought to us for a possible repair, our team does everything they can to make sure that your models are getting the best care possible. This means that sometimes we may need to keep your vehicles for a little while so that we can get a closer look and get to the root of the problem. For assessments like these we require a servicing fee of £20*, which will contribute to the full payment if any repairs can be made.
For more details regarding our pricing, check the ‘Pricing’ section below.

Most repairs assessments will only need a glance. However, sometimes we need to take a closer look at your precious collectibles – for longer or closer assessments, we require a non-refundable £20* deposit before an assessment can take place. If you choose to go ahead with the commission or repair after our assessment, this £20* charge will count as a deposit and will be deducted from the total cost of the services provided.
Commission work is considered for most subjects such as cars, boats, planes, and trains and are subjected to a £40* per hour rate (not inclusive of any extra parts needed to order for the commission). We define commission work as the execution of work surrounding the personalization of your desired vehicle, such as re-spray; switching from left- to right-hand drive and vice versa; and much more.
Our hourly rate counts towards many things we do during commission and repair process – our time, efforts, research, convenience, expertise, resources, and care towards your model.
