Our prices are approximately 40% lower than the average London servicing cost, and way lower compared to official Swiss servicing quotes. We do all of our repairs instore, and do not send anything off to brand repair services, meaning that repairs are faster and more affordable. Feel free to email us to get your repair quote – we don’t charge for estimates and diagnostics.
