04 — About
A workshop run by the people turning the spanners.
TORQUE LANE started in 2015 in one rented bay on Foundry Row with a trolley jack and a borrowed scan tool. Eleven years later there are four bays, six mechanics and a roller bench, and the rule has not moved: the person who diagnoses your car is the person who repairs it.
We are independent, so we are not paid to sell you a package. We service everything from daily commuters to weekend cars, and we are as happy telling you a repair can wait as we are booking it in.
Every job leaves with paperwork: measurements before and after, torque figures, and the old parts in a labelled box if you want to see them.

What people say after the invoice.
Brake overhaul · $640
Two other places quoted me for calipers. TORQUE LANE showed me the measurement, said the calipers were fine and did discs and pads only. Came in under the quote I had been given elsewhere.
Stage 1 tuning · $890
They ran the car before and after and walked me through both graphs. No mystery, no numbers pulled out of the air. It pulls cleanly and the fuel figure actually improved on the motorway.
Diagnostic scan · $95
Intermittent warning light that nobody could catch. They kept the car for a road loop, found a chafed loom under the wing and charged me for the hour, not the theatre.

08 — FAQ
Before you ask.
Anything else, call +1 (555) 062-4180 or walk into the office at roller door 2.
Will tuning void my manufacturer warranty?
On a car still inside its factory warranty, an ECU calibration can be refused as a warranty claim on the powertrain. We archive your stock file before we write anything, so the car can be returned to standard in about forty minutes. We say this out loud before taking the booking, not after.
Can I supply my own parts?
Yes, and we will fit them at the labour rate. The 24 month warranty then covers our labour only, because we cannot stand behind a part we did not source. We will tell you honestly if a part looks wrong for the car before we start.
How firm is the quote?
The number you approve is the number on the invoice. If we open something up and find more work, we stop, photograph it, price it and send it to your phone. Nothing extra happens without a written yes, and you can collect the car with only the approved work done.
Do you work on fleets and do you do collection?
We look after 23 vans and cars for four local businesses on monthly invoicing. Collection and delivery inside the Ironside and Halyard districts is $35 each way, free on jobs over $800.
