Quora’s version is simple: what should I check before I pay. Do it against the quote you approved, not against a surprise printout. Relatim’s process is that checklist before the keys move.
1. Labour separate from parts
If they are one number, you cannot tell whether you paid for oil or for a story. Transparency.
2. Oil grade and quantity
The manual names it. The invoice should. A cheaper grade is a silent swap. Oil change 2026.
3. Each part on its own line
Pads, filter, battery — named. Box and brand if it is a part you care about. Was it replaced.
4. Extras you actually approved
If a line appeared after the lift, you should have had a call. Do not pay a silent extra. Why extras get pushed.
5. GST invoice and old parts
A record for the next visit and for a later buyer. Relatim charges owners nothing to check. You pay the mechanic the amount you approved. Keep records, get the quote first.
