I was given the following to be the best translation but I am not yet satisfied with it and wanted to ask a verification or better suggestions from the professionals
Kun haluat tehdä oikein!
The hidden message in the English expression is "we complete your job well/in the professional manner" The Finnish translation of this expression should have the same catchy meaning as it is in the English original. Here is the German and Danish translation if they would be of any help:
Wenn schon, dann richtig!
Hvis det skal gøres, så få det gjort rigtigt!

Kun haluat hommasi hyviin käsiin!
The connotation that this expression has in English is clearly a beckoning of reassurance to the customer that the job at hand will be in good hands. I believe the above translation to encapsulate that gist, and it has a nice ring to it.

kun haluat että työ tehdään kunnolla!
"right" here has the meaning of "kunnolla".
A more colloquial version might be: Jos haluat, että homma hoidetaan kunnolla!
