Stuart did a fantastic job, went above and beyond, did the job at a competitive price and was efficient in completing the task. I would recommend Stuart and I will definitely be in contact with him again when installing other items into my car in the future. He also provided information and advice on a few things I was keen on purchasing for my vehicle and helped steer me into the right direction, thanks Stuart!

Mitchel D and his team were absolutely sensational! They were reliable, honest and easy to talk to. They went above and beyond to assist me with the installation of my winch. Their auto electrical know how and 4wd expertise were second to none. It’s great having a group of lads work on your truck that are passionate about 4wd themselves. I will DEFINITELY be using their services again. They were on time and delivered a quality finished product. Shane.

Ajmal did a great job of fitting my bull bar to my prado even though some parts were missing. He was able to work around this and it looks great. He is as on time and very affordable given his experience and skills. Thanks so much.

What does a mechanic service usually include?

Mechanics are skilled in nearly all aspects of keeping your car maintained, serviced, and repaired, so it’s roadworthy and efficient to run. The exact process during your service will depend on how your mechanic prefers to work and the type of tasks they’re doing, like:

Minor service

This is the most basic engine service a mechanic provides, but it can make a huge difference in whether or not your car can operate efficiently. A minor service usually alternates with a major service, at around the 6-month mark. A mechanic near you can do minor services because your mechanic only needs a flat service to get the job done. They’ll unscrew the sump plug, allowing old oil to drain from your car. Then they’ll remove the old oil filter and replace with a new one that’s the right size for your vehicle. Your mechanic will dispose of your old filter and oil. They’ll also inspect other key components, like your battery, lights, air filters, and other fluids.

Log book servicing / major service

A major service or log book service involves a series of steps in line with your vehicle manufacturer’s service manual. It’ll include a combination of major and minor services, depending on the age of your car, or how many kilometres it’s travelled. Your service may include testing your lights, brakes, and battery. Then checking fluid levels, windscreen wipers, windows, mirrors, steering, suspension, radiator, fan belts, and tyre pressure. Finally, it may also include maintaining/replacing oil filters, hoses, belts, tyres, and wheel alignment. Your mechanic will finish off by stamping your logbook to record the services completed, which can help maintain your car’s resale value.

Roadworthy certificate or pink slip

A roadworthy certificate or pink slip is a specific vehicle check that’s conducted to ensure your car is in a roadworthy condition and can be operated safely. In some states, it’s required when selling a car or may be required each year to confirm your vehicle is safe for registration purposes. A mechanic will check off a list of predetermined items to verify that your car meets a minimum safety standard set out by your state government. They’ll focus on safety, checking things like tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, rust or damage, seatbelts, windows, lights, and your windscreen.

Major and minor repairs

Sometimes your car might need a little extra attention if you’ve had an accident, broken down, or your drive feels a bit different to normal. A car mechanic can perform minor and major repairs on most vehicles. They’ll use diagnostic equipment to locate the issue and decide on a course of action to get your car back on the road. If they don’t have the necessary spare parts, they may need to order them to finish off your repair and replace any faulty parts. Note that a mechanic service is usually limited to your car’s engine and electrics. It’s best to speak to a panel beater if you also have external body damage.

$200

Maroochydore QLD, Australia

12th Aug 2025

Hey legends! 👋 I’m chasing a reliable and experienced mechanic to replace the clutch master cylinder on my 1996 Mitsubishi Express petrol van. Details: • Clutch master cylinder needs to be sorted cause it’s leaking (this has been confirmed in last service) • May need help on getting the part (unless i can just pick it up from a shop) • Mobile service preferred so the job can be done here on the Sunny Coast (if you have your own work garage i can also get the car there to make it easier) Please let me know: • Your price (parts + labour OR labour only) • Preferred location • When you’re available Budget: Around $150–$250 (negotiable if you supply the part & warranty) I work from mon-fri around 7-3 so fix would need to be done after hours, or on the weekend anytime. Keen to get it done ASAP so I can get my van working stress free again! 🚐⚙️ (ALSO might need to check condition of the starter motor + do a compression test on the engine 🫣 So possibility to even more work and 💵 for the right person!!)
