What we do

  • Roadworthy certificate

    Licensed tester on site. Cars, utes, 4WDs, EVs and light vehicles up to 4.5 tonnes.

  • Minor service

    Oil and filter, fluids topped up, and a look over the car with a note of anything coming up.

  • Log book service

    Done to the manufacturer's schedule and stamped, so your new-car warranty stays intact. Send the rego for the figure.

  • Air-con regas

    On its own, or while the car is in for a service.

  • Major service

    Send the rego and the km. You get a figure before you book.

  • Brakes & suspension

    Pads, discs, shocks, springs, bushes and steering. Measured, then priced, before we touch them.

  • Engine & diagnostics

    Warning light on? Scan tool first, then the cause and the cost before any work.

  • Transmission & clutch

    Clutch replacement, auto transmission service and repairs.

  • Tyres & batteries

    Supplied and fitted while the car is here.

Send the rego and what the car needs. You get the figure before the work starts, not at pick-up.

Roadworthy certificate

Licensed tester on site. Drop the car off between 8:30 and 10am and collect it from 4pm with the certificate if it passes.

If it doesn't pass, you get the written list of what needs fixing. Fix it here or anywhere, bring it back within the re-test window for a re-inspection, not a full test again.

Cars, utes, 4WDs, light trucks, and EVs. Licensed for light vehicles up to 4.5 tonnes.

Buying a used car? A roadworthy isn't a condition check. You want a pre-purchase inspection.

Got a quote from somewhere else?

WhatsApp us a photo of it with your rego. We reply with what we'd charge for the same work, line by line, and whether every line on it is actually due. No booking needed to ask.

How it works

  1. Call or WhatsApp with the rego

    Say what the car needs. We reply with the next free morning.

  2. Drop it off between 8:30 and 10am

    Keys at the counter and off you go. Colemans Rd is a short drive from Frankston, Seaford, Langwarrin and Cranbourne.

  3. Collect from 4pm

    Most services and roadworthies are done the same day. If it's a bigger job, you get the price and the day before we start, not at pick-up.

Straight answers

How long will you have the car?

Drop off between 8:30 and 10am, collect from 4pm. Most services and roadworthies are done that day. If it's a bigger job, you get the price and the day before we start.

What happens if the roadworthy fails?

You get the written list of what needs fixing, with a price to fix each item here. Fix it here or anywhere you like, bring it back within the re-test window for a re-inspection, not a full test again.

Will servicing here void my new-car warranty?

No. A log book service done to the manufacturer's schedule, with parts that meet the manufacturer's spec, keeps your warranty. We stamp the book. You don't have to go back to the dealer.

Why you and not the chain up the road?

We're one workshop on Colemans Rd, same owner since 2008. You get the price before we start, and when you ring, the workshop picks up. Read the reviews and decide.

Do I need to book?

Yes. Call or WhatsApp with the rego and we'll give you the next free morning. Something urgent like a brake noise? Say so, and we'll fit it in as early as we can.

Utes, 4WDs, light trucks, EVs?

Yes. We service and repair them every day, and we're licensed to roadworthy EVs and light vehicles up to 4.5 tonnes.
