Roadworthiness and emissions test
Both in one appointment, both in our hall. Beforehand we go through lights, tires and brakes — whatever turns up gets fixed before the inspector sees the car. A retest within a month costs $25.

Services and prices
One hourly rate. 79 euros.
Every make, every job. If it takes longer than estimated, we still bill the estimated hours.
In detail
Service to manufacturer schedule
To the maintenance plan, with approved oil and either original or OEM-quality parts. Service book stamped, invoice and checklist handed over. Your manufacturer warranty is unaffected.
from $189
Diagnostics and control unit read-out
Every control unit, not just the engine. We do not simply clear the code, we look for the cause. If we do the repair, the $39 comes off the bill.
$39
Wheel change with seasonal storage
Change, balance, torque logged, pressure sensors re-learned. Stored on the rack, every wheel labeled with registration and position. We measure the tread at storage and tell you in spring whether it will do another season.
$49, storage $39 per season
Wheel alignment
Toe and camber on both axles, print-out before and after adjustment. Needed after an accident, after suspension work, and whenever tires wear on one edge.
$89
Brakes, clutch, timing belt, timing chain
The jobs where real money is involved. Written estimate with parts and labor listed apart. If it turns out more expensive than quoted, we call before we carry on.
on estimate
Air conditioning service
Test the system, extract the refrigerant, dry it, refill. Leaks usually sit at the condenser, and dye shows them up.
$119
Auxiliary heaters and retrofits
Fitting and repair of auxiliary heaters, tow bars and reversing cameras. Anything wired into the vehicle gets registered — we handle the paperwork.

Common questions
Do I lose the manufacturer warranty by not going to a dealer?
No. We service to the manufacturer schedule, use approved oils and OEM-quality parts, and stamp the book. Keep the invoice and the checklist — no manufacturer asks for more.
Can I get a courtesy car?
We have three. $15 a day plus fuel, free on jobs over $500. Ask when you book, otherwise they are gone.
What does a written estimate cost?
$39 if we have to read the car out or put it on a ramp. If we do the repair, that comes off the bill. Whatever we can see standing at the counter costs nothing.
Can I bring my own parts?
You can. Then we stand behind our labor, not behind the part. For brakes, steering and airbags we will say beforehand whether we will fit it — some online stock we will not.
What happens if the test finds something?
Bulbs, wiper blades and small items we deal with during the inspection. For anything else you get a slot the same week.
Do you work on older cars?
Yes. Back to roughly 1990 we do everything; before that, mechanical work by arrangement. Parts can take a few days longer then.
Ask for an estimate
Registration and one sentence about the problem is enough. We will say what it probably is and roughly what it costs.
The project frame
How Awelior would approach this project
Palmer Motor Repairs is invented — the way it is built is not. None of this is work delivered for a client. It is the shape we would give such a project — with the same depth, but without a client who would have to answer for it.
Where it starts
Palmer Motor Repairs is an independent garage for all makes with roadworthiness and emissions testing on site. Its problem is not visibility but mistrust: anyone looking for an independent garage expects an invoice above the estimate and an appointment that slips. The website has to clear both away before anyone calls.
Decisions
Fixed prices for what can be fixed-price
Service, oil change, air conditioning, the annual test — those appear as priced packages on the services page. For repairs there is no price, only the sentence that an estimate comes first. That distinction is the real message of the business.
The booking flow gets a page of its own
In the other demos booking sits on the contact page. Here it is the main route and therefore stands alone — with the opening hours directly beneath, because the second question after an appointment is always about drop-off times.
Hard-edged archetype, high density
The same archetype as the electrical contractor, but a different motif and a different palette. That is the evidence that the archetype is a tool and not a stencil: two businesses share it and still look unrelated.
Deliberately left outNo parts shop and no price list by vehicle model. Both require a vehicle database that has to be maintained — a garage this size would be showing wrong prices within three months.
What is in it
- Pages
- 5
- Content blocks
- 23
- Languages
- 4
Five pages, in all four languages. Navigation, expandable questions, the gallery and the four-step booking flow all respond. Indicated only: workshop photography, directions and the form's destination; the calendar slots are sample values and are labeled as such.
How it would go on
Appointments tied to the ramp
A time slot is only worth something once there is a ramp, a mechanic and the right duration per job behind it. That is a connection to workshop planning, not to a calendar.
Reminders and updates
A reminder before the appointment, a message when the car is ready, and the test due date a year later. That is the part that brings customers back.
Real prices and photographs
The packages have to be calculated from the actual hourly rates, and the gallery needs pictures from this workshop rather than drawings.
