What we do

Straight off the sign on the shed.

Six jobs are painted up on the workshop wall, and that’s the work we do every day, from a family car’s regular service to getting a traveller’s RV back on the road. Ring or text Nik to book in.

01

Logbook Service

Servicing to your manufacturer's schedule.

The checks your logbook calls for, with the parts and oil sourced for your vehicle.

02

Suspension

Checked properly, up on the hoist.

Worn suspension shows up on the hoist, not in the driveway. We'll show you what we find.

03

Brakes

Checked on every service.

Brakes get checked as part of a service, and we'll tell you straight if something needs doing now or can wait.

04

Tyres

Tyres sorted while you're here.

Ask about tyres when you book your service or call in.

05

Diagnostic

Warning light on? Something not right?

We'll find the fault and explain it in plain words before any work goes ahead.

06

Transmission Service

Keep the gearbox healthy.

Transmission servicing done in the workshop on Thelma Rd.

Farm machinery too. We’re also listed for tractor repairs and servicing, so give us a ring about yours.

How we work

No mystery, no runaround.

You don’t hand the keys over and hope. The car goes up on the hoist, the work gets done where you can see it, and you hear what’s going on as it happens. Here’s how one customer put it after bringing in his X-Trail.

“He has the proper equipment to lift the car, checked the brakes and suspension, and carried out all the work right in front of me while explaining everything along the way.”

Excellent service and great customer care. I had my Nissan X-Trail serviced and Nik took care of sourcing all the parts and oil. He has the proper equipment to lift the car, checked the brakes and suspension, and carried out all the work right in front of me while explaining everything along the way. He also pointed out a few things to keep an eye on. I’m very satisfied with both the service and the price. Highly recommended.
