Prices are a guide. Final pricing depends on your vehicle and the work required, and we’ll confirm your quote before we start.
What tradies from Seventeen Mile Rocks need
Reliable turnaround and honest diagnosis. Tradies can’t afford a workshop that keeps their ute for three days when it needs to be out working.
We work on same-day turnaround for most commercial jobs. Drop off 7:30 am, collect by 5 pm for servicing, brake work, or minor repairs. Major jobs (clutch, head gasket) are quoted with a realistic timeline.
Residential jobs we do regularly
Log book servicing on family cars. All brands. Saves 30 to 50 percent over dealer.
Pre-purchase inspections for first cars. $249 standard. We tell new drivers honestly what’s safe.
Radiator replacement on older vehicles. $549 onwards. Common on cars approaching 15 years old.
Timing belt on 100,000+ km vehicles. $649 to $1,049 fitted with full kit.
Suspension work. Front suspension from $790, rear from $590.
Why we're the closest real option
Dealerships for most brands are a 20 to 30 minute trip from Seventeen Mile Rocks. Small workshops in the area exist but don’t carry Repco Authorised accreditation, factory diagnostic tools, or ARC-licensed AC capability.
The combination of distance to us (5 minutes) and capability (full workshop, warranty-protected logbook servicing, 12-month work warranty) makes us the practical default for most Seventeen Mile Rocks residents and businesses.
Waiting vs drop-off
For residents, short jobs like batteries, oil changes and safety certificates, we recommend waiting — 45 minutes to 1 hour and you’re done. Longer jobs drop off in the morning and collect after work.
Commercial customers usually drop off and arrange pickup based on what’s running.
