Clayton FAQ
What's the cheapest safe tyre you'd put on my car? Depends on the size, but we always quote a quality value brand alongside the premium option and explain the difference honestly. No pressure either way.
Can you fix a puncture instead of selling me a new tyre? If it's repairable, yes — proper internal patch-plug, not a temporary string plug. We'll tell you straight if it isn't safe to repair.
How much is a wheel alignment? Most cars from $89 on the Hunter HawkEye Elite, with a before-and-after printout.
Will servicing outside the dealer void my warranty? No. Logbook servicing at a qualified independent workshop keeps your manufacturer warranty fully intact — we stamp the book and use approved parts and oils.
