Free intro call
Twenty minutes on your car, your mileage and what's worrying you.
Online · Owners, not mechanics
Know what your car
Know what your car
actually needs.
The upsell list at the counter is mostly optional, occasionally urgent, and impossible to judge without knowing what those services do. That knowledge is worth more than a socket set.

The programs
Four programs, and none of them ask you to become a mechanic
The goal is an owner who understands the car, does the easy work, and is not at the mercy of a service advisor.
Owner basics
Fluids, filters, tires, wipers and battery care — the maintenance that is genuinely DIY, done safely.
See the programNoises & warning lights
Describing a symptom accurately, reading OBD codes, and knowing what's urgent and what can wait a week.
See the programBuying a used car
Shortlisting sensibly, inspecting a car yourself, reading the history, and arranging a proper inspection.
See the programEstimates & shops
Reading an estimate line by line, asking the right questions, and finding a shop worth staying with.

How it works
Film it, describe it, decide
A ten-second video with sound, plus when the noise happens, gets you a far better answer than a forum thread.
Send video and photos
The noise, the leak, the warning light, the estimate.
A straight assessment
Within 24 hours: what it probably is, how urgent, and who should do it.
A maintenance plan
What's due, what can wait, and what you can do yourself.

How we work
No shop, no commissions, no guesses about safety
Rovellax repairs nothing, inspects nothing and sells nothing. We coach owners, which means the advice can be that a job is worth paying for — something a shop is rarely positioned to say.
The safety line is firm: brakes, airbags and restraints, fuel systems, high-voltage hybrid components, steering, suspension and anything structural go to a qualified mechanic. Nothing over video can confirm a car is safe to drive, and we won't pretend otherwise.
Frequently asked
The questions we get most
Will you tell me what's wrong with my car?
We'll give you the most likely causes and how urgent it is, based on video, symptoms and codes. A diagnosis needs hands on the car, and we'll say when that's required.
Should I do my own brakes?
We don't coach brake work. It's the clearest example of a job where a mistake is catastrophic, and it belongs with a qualified mechanic.
Is the dealer's service list necessary?
Often partly. We'll go through it line by line against your manual and mileage, and it's common for half of it to be optional.
Can you inspect a car I want to buy?
Not physically. We'll prepare your checklist and questions, review photos and listings, and insist you get an independent pre-purchase inspection before paying.
Do you work on electric cars?
For ownership, tires, software and charging, yes. High-voltage systems are off limits entirely — that's specialist, dangerous work.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contract, no minimum term. Access stays open until the end of the month you already paid for.
Got a noise or an estimate?
Twenty minutes on your car and what it actually needs. Free.
