We know that things are super tough for each and everyone of our customers and members of the community here in Pakenham. So we have a couple of things to pop out there to try to make life easier!!

Firstly, we offer a 30% off discount for our seniors. If you live in any of the villages here in town, let us know when we book your car in!!

To all of our customers we also offer pick up and drop off of either you or your car. If you drop off the car to us and need to go to the plaza while you wait, no worries we will take you there.

We can also pick the vehicle up from your house if you so desire.

Lastly, this video is a reminder that cabin filters are really important and staying on top of your servicing does actually save you money in the long run.

Cabin filters do just that, filter things coming into the cabin but when they get completely blocked up and full of leaves they stop doing their job effectively resulting in poor air quality and nasty smells in the car!!

Call Shaz on 59403155 for any mechanical repairs, service or roadworthy requirements

Been a minute but I have a couple of “THATS NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE THAT!”

For the Tyre shots, my beautiful customer said it was as feeling funny when driving…..

The push rods.. I have never seen anything like that!! Doing heads on this 5L and found the guides not centered causing the rubbing of the push rod.

Ever think to yourself… gee, my air con fan doesn’t really seem to be blowing much…. THIS MIGHT BE WHY!!!

Cabin filter replacement is really important people!! Check out how blocked up this one was today!!
