What we do

Six jobs, one workshop.

These are the jobs we do every week. Not sure which one your car needs? Ring us, describe what it's doing, and we'll tell you.

  1. Logbook Service

    Your car serviced to its logbook schedule. If we spot anything else it needs, we ring you with a quote first.

  2. Automotive AirCon

    Air-con recovery, regas and repair, using our own Robinair recovery and recharge station.

  3. Autoelectrical

    Electrical faults tracked down and fixed, from ignition trouble to warning lights that won't clear.

  4. Diagnostics

    Scan-tool diagnostics to find what's actually wrong before any parts get replaced.

  5. Brake Repairs

    Brake repairs, with the car up on the hoist so we can see exactly what's going on.

  6. Suspension

    Suspension repairs, done with the car up on the two-post hoist.

No surprises on the bill

If it needs more than you asked for, you hear about it first.

Two different customers wrote about the same habit without being asked. Find something extra during a job, pick up the phone, quote it, and let the owner decide.

The workshop

A proper hoist, a clean floor, and the tools where they belong.

AJ was really helpful coordinating the drop off of my car while I was out of town. He performed a quick service and charged a fair price for his work. He also called me to quote on further recommended works above the service and AC repair I was needing. Will definitely be back!

Amazing quality of service. My RAV4 started having ignition issues during a road trip, so I relied on the reviews and wasn't disappointed. I showed up without any prior notice, and my car was fixed within 4 hours. Very reasonably priced! Not all heroes wear capes.

Aji is by far the best mechanic I've had worldwide … says it all.. Always very professional and fairly priced. Had to use him on a last minute emergency repair and he went above and beyond to make sure the car was ready the same day. Always calls to to inform you of any additional work if ever needed. A big thank you Aji!!!

Broken down passing through?

Travellers have left here the same day.

A RAV4 with ignition trouble mid road trip, fixed within four hours of turning up unannounced. An emergency repair ready the same day. Call first and we'll tell you straight whether we can fit you in.
