We can also pick you up/drop you off in the Huskisson and Vincentia area. Perfect if you’re busy or can’t get to us during the day. Please note we do need at least 24 hours’ notice to arrange this. This service is only valid for repairs and diagnostics, not rego checks.

Absolutely. We’ll try our best to fit you in for same-day service for most diagnostics, repairs and logbook services. We recommend calling us early in the morning to secure your spot.

We accept both bookings and walk-ins. For faster service, we recommend calling ahead — especially for same-day repairs.

Yes – if your car breaks down or suddenly develops a serious issue, we’ll do our best to offer same-day emergency repairs during business hours. We accept walk-ins, but we recommend calling ahead so we can prioritise your vehicle if possible.

Common emergency repairs include:

• Brake issues
• Overheating or coolant leaks
• Warning lights (engine, ABS, battery, etc.)
• Electrical faults
• Starting problems
• Strange noises, smoke, or loss of power

If your car is not drivable, we can help arrange towing to our workshop in Huskisson. We service all surrounding areas, including Vincentia, Sanctuary Point, St Georges Basin and Jervis Bay.

While we don’t offer loan vehicles, we’ll communicate clearly, provide upfront quotes, and get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

  We understand that cost is a key concern for our customers. The price of your car repair or service depends on several factors, including the type of work needed, the parts required, and the time it takes to complete.

Before we start any work, we provide a detailed, no-obligation quote outlining the estimated cost. This way, you know exactly what to expect with no surprises.

If during the repair we find additional issues, we will contact you immediately to explain the situation and get your approval before proceeding. Our goal is to be fully transparent and keep you informed every step of the way.

We also offer competitive pricing without compromising on quality, using genuine or high-quality parts to ensure your vehicle’s safety and reliability.

Yes – we accept Afterpay for eligible car repairs and servicing. Get the work done now and pay it off over time with no interest.

Yes – we provide logbook servicing that keeps your warranty intact. You don’t need to return to the dealer. Our qualified mechanics follow all manufacturer specifications and use quality parts to maintain your warranty coverage.

Yes – every logbook service includes a complimentary vehicle safety inspection. We’ll alert you to any issues before they become costly problems.

An Express Service is completed in under 1 hour. Most Logbook Services take between 1–3 hours. We’ll let you know when booking and keep you updated if anything changes.

A logbook service follows the specific guidelines set by your vehicle’s manufacturer and is completed at set intervals (e.g., every 10,000km or 6 months). It includes all checks, adjustments, and replacements outlined in your vehicle’s logbook to maintain warranty compliance. We stamp your logbook to confirm the service has been carried out correctly.

A general/minor service is a more flexible, routine maintenance option that covers the basics to keep your car running well. It typically includes:

• Engine oil and filter change
• Fluid top-ups
• Tyre pressure and tread checks
• Brake inspection
• General safety and condition check

If your car is out of warranty or you just want a regular check-up, a general service is a great option. For newer vehicles or if you’re keeping up with warranty requirements, a logbook service is the way to go.

We offer both options and can help you choose the right service based on your car’s age, usage, and history.

It’s generally recommended to service your car every 6 months or 10,000 kilometres – whichever comes first. 

However, the ideal service interval can vary depending on your:

• Vehicle make and model
• Driving habits (e.g., short trips, towing, off-road use)
• Manufacturer's recommendations (found in your logbook)

Regular servicing helps prevent breakdowns, maintains fuel efficiency, and keeps your warranty valid if your car is still under coverage.

Even if you don’t drive much, we recommend at least an annual service, as engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid can degrade over time.

Need help figuring out when your next service is due? Give us a call or drop in — we’re happy to check your logbook and advise.

If your car is experiencing electrical problems, strange warnings, or starting issues, we’ll pinpoint the cause with expert diagnostics and explain your options clearly.

If your car still won’t start after replacing the battery, there could be another issue causing the problem. Common reasons include:

• Faulty starter motor – the motor that turns the engine may have failed
• Alternator problems – if the alternator isn’t charging the battery, it can go flat quickly
• Loose or corroded battery terminals – even with a new battery, poor connections can prevent starting
• Blown fuses or relays – electrical issues can stop power from reaching the starter
• Ignition switch or key issues – especially in modern cars with push-button starts
• Faulty sensors or immobiliser – your car's security system might be preventing the engine from turning over

We recommend booking a diagnostic check so we can accurately identify the cause and get you back on the road quickly. 

Our workshop in Huskisson services drivers across Jervis Bay, Vincentia, Sanctuary Point and St Georges Basin.

The check engine light can turn on for many reasons — like engine misfires or emissions system faults. While your car might still seem to drive normally, it's best to get it checked as soon as possible. We use professional diagnostic tools to scan fault codes and pinpoint the issue quickly, helping prevent further damage and costly repairs.

Strange noises like clunking, squealing, grinding, or knocking usually indicate a mechanical issue that needs attention. 

Common causes include worn brakes, suspension problems, engine faults, or loose components. If your car sounds different than usual — especially when braking, accelerating, or turning — it’s best to book it in for an inspection. 

Catching the problem early can save you time and money.

Your brakes are critical for safety, and there are several warning signs to watch for:

• Squeaking, grinding, or scraping noises

• Vibrations when braking

• A soft or spongy brake pedal

• Increased stopping distance

• Warning light on the dashboard

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to have your brakes checked. We offer brake inspections and repairs using quality parts to keep you safe on the road.

No — driving with a coolant leak or an overheating engine can cause severe damage, including a blown head gasket or engine failure. If your temperature gauge is high, you see steam from the bonnet, or the coolant warning light comes on, stop the car as soon as it's safe and turn off the engine. Call us right away — we can arrange a tow if needed, inspect the system, and get you safely back on the road.

A pink slip (now officially called an eSafety Check) is a safety inspection report required for vehicles over five years old when renewing NSW registration. It confirms your vehicle is roadworthy and safe to drive.

We are a licensed inspection station and can complete your pink slip while you wait – usually in under 30 minutes.

A pink slip is valid for up to 6 months from the date of issue. This means you have that long to complete your rego renewal. If it expires, you’ll need a new inspection.

If your car doesn’t pass, don’t stress – we’ll explain exactly what needs fixing. You have 14 days to get the repairs done and return for a free re-inspection. If it takes longer than 14 days, a new inspection will be required. 

Yes – once your vehicle passes the inspection, we submit the pink slip electronically to Service NSW immediately, so you can renew your rego online right away.

Yes – we are a fully Authorised Child Restraint Fitting Station. Our trained and accredited fitters can professionally install and check all types of child car seats, including:

• Convertible car seats
• Booster seats

✅ Peace of mind for parents
✅ Accredited by Service NSW / Transport for NSW

✅ Friendly advice and guidance
 

We proudly support families in Huskisson, Vincentia, Sanctuary Point, St Georges Basin and surrounding Jervis Bay areas.

Having your baby car seat professionally fitted is the safest way to ensure it’s installed correctly. Studies show that a large percentage of child restraints are incorrectly fitted or used — which can seriously reduce their effectiveness in a crash.

As an Authorised Child Restraint Fitting Station, we make sure your baby seat is:

• Installed according to Australian safety standards
• Tightly secured with the correct anchor points and seatbelt routing
• Adjusted to suit your child’s size, age, and seat type (rear-facing,  forward facing, booster)
• Checked for correct harness height and angle
• Free from common mistakes like twisted straps or loose installation
• 
  

Professional fitting gives parents peace of mind knowing their child is travelling as safely as possible. We also take the time to show you how to adjust and use the seat correctly for future use.

We fit all major brands and types of child seats and proudly service families in Huskisson, Vincentia, Sanctuary Point, St Georges Basin, and the Jervis Bay region.
