David was super helpful with advising on a headunit and what to purchase for the installation based on my wants and needs. Very happy with the head unit and his service and will definitely use again.

Car head unit and reverse camera install

Really happy. There were multiple challenges in this job, first with an incompatible ISO connector and then with the non-standard steering controls of my car. David was skilled in diagnosing the issues and exercised considerable flexibility to come and fix after I picked up the part. He really did a great job for a good price so I definitely recommend!

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.

Replace AC Compressor, ReGas and Power Steering Pump Mazda CX9 2010

$500

VIC 3977, Australia

3rd Sep 2026

I will buy a brand new aftermarket AC compressor as new is as much as the car itself. I can get it for a cheaper price from my company. You just need to replace it and regas compressor. Had the leak test done 6months ago, and no leaks were detected. Compressor and drive align tensioner and accessible belt were replaced a year ago with an original but used compressor (from wreckers) and new gates tensioner. Compressor blew off again after 6months (car makes noise when AC is on and accelerating high revs, same symptoms both times). AC is still chill however slightly less efficient on driver side vs passenger side. Steering pump needs a check and potentially replacement as well. Time to time car makes loud noise when turning the wheel. It dies down itself but is very loud when turning the wheel. No visible leaks. I can buy steering pump as well. Coolant levels keeps dropping without any visible leaks…. Wonder if it is because of the use of heater. Just like AC, driver side is slightly not as warm as passenger, however still warm. Coolant needs constant top up. Need these issues resolved. Thanks
