Notes from the Garage

A monthly dispatch from our workshop — what we service, what we retire, and what we quietly obsess over between rentals.

Notes from the Garage

Every car in the fleet passes through the same set of hands before it goes out again. Tyres, fluids, brakes, cabin. Nothing dramatic — just the steady arithmetic of a well-kept machine.

This month

We rotated four sets of tyres, replaced two windshields after an unusually generous week of gravel, and gave the entire hybrid line a fresh cabin filter. The espresso machine in the corner of the garage received its own service, which we consider equally important.

Retirements

One sedan reached the mileage threshold we set for graceful retirement. It leaves the fleet with a full history and no complaints. A newer coupé arrives next week to take its place in the rotation.

What we are watching

Battery health on the plug-in hybrids, mostly. The numbers are still excellent, but we like to notice things early.
