Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

Will a service here void my new-car warranty?

No. Australian law lets you service your car anywhere, as long as it's done to the maker's schedule with parts that meet their spec. We do both, and stamp the logbook.

Do you work on hybrids and EVs?

Hybrids, yes, including their high-voltage systems. Full EVs, we do tyres, brakes, suspension and air conditioning.

How long will my car be here?

A logbook service is about three hours. Most drop-offs are back the same afternoon, and we'll text you when it's ready.

Can I wait?

For jobs under an hour and a half, sure. There's coffee, wifi and a couch that's seen better days.

What if you find something else?

We stop, ring you, send a photo and a price. Nothing extra gets done without your yes.

Car due for a service?

Book online in a minute, or ring the workshop. Loan cars go fast, so book ahead if you need one.
