Our Mechanical Services
Log Book Servicing
We follow your vehicle manufacturer's service schedule exactly. Oil and filter changes, fluid top-ups, brake inspections, tyre checks, and all the items your log book requires at each interval. Your warranty stays valid, and your service history stays clean.
Engine Repairs
From misfires and rough idling to overheating and oil leaks, we diagnose and repair engine problems. We handle spark plug replacement, timing belt and chain replacement, head gasket repairs, and engine management system faults.
Cooling System
Overheating destroys engines. We service radiators, water pumps, thermostats, hoses, and coolant. If your temperature gauge is climbing or you're losing coolant, bring it in before it becomes a major repair.
Steering System
Power steering fluid flushes, rack and pinion repairs, pump replacement, and steering component servicing. If your steering feels heavy, makes noise when turning, or feels loose, we'll find the cause and fix it.
Brakes
Full brake servicing including pad replacement, disc rotor machining, brake fluid flush, drum brake repairs, and calliper servicing. See our dedicated brake repairs page for details.
Drivetrain
CV boots, CV joints, driveshafts, and universal joints. If you hear clicking on turns or feel vibration at speed, the drivetrain is a likely culprit. We inspect and replace worn components.
Filters and Fluids
Air filters, fuel filters, cabin filters, transmission fluid, differential oil, and power steering fluid. Keeping these fresh is basic maintenance that prevents bigger problems.
Belts and Hoses
Timing belts, serpentine belts, drive belts, and coolant hoses. A snapped timing belt can destroy your engine. We check condition at every service and replace them at the manufacturer's recommended interval.
Computer Diagnostics
Modern cars are full of sensors and control modules. When a warning light comes on, we plug in and read the fault codes to identify exactly what's happening. No guesswork, no parts-swapping to see what sticks.
Electrical
Battery testing and replacement, alternator repairs, starter motor replacement, and wiring fault diagnosis. If your car won't start or your electrics are playing up, we'll trace the problem.
When to Book a Service
Follow your manufacturer's service schedule. For most cars, that's every 6 months or 10,000 km, whichever comes first. Between services, don't ignore these signs:
- Check engine light or any dashboard warning light. These exist for a reason. Get them diagnosed promptly.
- Unusual noises. Knocking, squealing, grinding, or rattling that wasn't there before. Something has changed and it needs checking.
- Fluid leaks under the car. Oil, coolant, transmission fluid, or brake fluid on your driveway means something is leaking and needs attention.
- Poor fuel economy. If you're filling up more often with no change in driving habits, something is making your engine work harder than it should.
- Rough idling or hesitation. If the engine feels rough at idle or hesitates when you accelerate, it needs a look.
- Overheating. Pull over safely and call us. Driving an overheating car can cause catastrophic engine damage in minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mechanical services do you offer?
We cover log book servicing, engine repairs, brakes, cooling systems, steering, drivetrain, belts and hoses, filters and fluids, computer diagnostics, and electrical work. If it's mechanical, we do it.
How often should I have my car serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend every 6 months or 10,000 km. Check your owner's manual or log book for your specific schedule. We can look it up for you when you call.
Do you service all car brands?
Yes. We service all makes and models, including European vehicles. Petrol and diesel.
What's included in a mechanical service?
It depends on the service interval. At a minimum, every service includes an oil and filter change, fluid level checks, brake inspection, tyre inspection, and a general safety check. Higher-interval services add items like spark plugs, transmission fluid, and timing belt inspection per the manufacturer's schedule.
Will servicing with you void my new car warranty?
No. Under Australian Consumer Law, you can have your new car serviced at any qualified workshop without voiding the manufacturer's warranty, as long as the service is performed to specification using appropriate parts. We do exactly that.
