Our process includes brake and emission measurements, with same-day retesting available for failed vehicles. Customers can relax in our reception or observe the test in our workshop viewing area.
Brake Repairs
Our technicians perform detailed brake checks and repairs, addressing pads, discs, and hydraulic systems. We use high-quality components to restore optimal braking performance and safety. A free no-obligation brake inspection is offered to identify potential issues before they escalate into costly failures.

I've used Platinum a few times, Ang and Magic are very knowledgable and very helpful. They diagnosed something for me that the local BMW main dealer couldn't in five visits! Always seem very honest and fair with pricing, and always able to provide a fast response. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

My car started with a mysterious engine management light and another garage diagnosed a turbo fault with its consequent exorbitant price to replace but Platinum found the real issue and was able to replace as part of the warranty. It wasn't so much the cost savings that i was happier with, but the fact that they found the real issue. No point in paying to repair for something that isn't broken. Thank you guys, good job and brilliant service. After 18 years of using my old garage, I have found my new go to garage!.

I have been using this garage for a couple of years now for my VW Golf and Touran. The services I have received over the period blows my mind, and I simply cannot help sharing my experience with others. I will recommend them any day to my family and friends.
