Car repair Mazda CX7 Fog light problem

Christian was amazing. I had ordered the part in and it was delayed so had to reschedule the originally booked day. Christian kept in touch with me and told me he will arrange to install as soon as it arrived. I messaged Christian when it arrived and the next day he was at my house fitting it. Very friendly guy who knew what he was doing and fitted it properly without issue. Also took time to test and rule out other issues whilst he was there.A+

Broken down Car engine diagnosis

$50

Thebarton SA 5031, Australia

10th Jul 2026

My car broke down out of nowhere. It’s a 2004 Camry 2.4l automatic transmission. Recently serviced with oil and filter change. Radiator was also replaced after a leak was found. The car was running very smoothly. No sound no issues. Then suddenly while driving I started hearing heavy knocking sound. The engine was not pushing power when I press throttle. I pulled over, checked the engine bay and heard the knocking sound coming from inside the engine. RAA guy said this could be crankshaft and advised not to start car. I need a proper diagnosis before I send the car into shop.

SMALL ENGINE PETROL PRESSURE WASHER REPAIR

$100

Belair SA 5052, Australia

21st Jun 2026

Hi, I need small engine specialist near Belair in Adelaide SA. I have. Karcher 3000 PSI pressure washer and I can’t get it to start.- it used to run. Isn’t that old. “I’ve got a Kärcher G3000C pressure washer with a 196cc Loncin engine. Fuel reaches the carburettor, I’ve fitted a new spark plug, but it won’t fire at all. already established a few things that a mechanic would otherwise have to spend time (and charge you) figuring out: * Fuel reaches the carburettor bowl. * The air filter is clean. * The spark plug isn’t obviously fouled. * A new plug didn’t solve it. * The engine has been exposed to rain. * The fault appeared suddenly after it had been running. Trying to get it fixed for a reasonable price if not better to buy a new one. Cheers Ben
