Sydney Road runs you straight down to us

From Campbellfield it is south on Sydney Road, through Fawkner, and Newlands Road comes up on the left once you are into Coburg North. One road most of the way, which makes it an easy drop off before work.

Campbellfield is warehouse frontage and yards rather than shopping strips, and the streets around them are full of speed humps and heavy vehicle turns. A lot of driving here happens in short bursts at low speed, which is the kind of work brakes and tyres notice before anything else does.

Tyres and brakes are what Campbellfield rings about

Tyres come first, and uneven wear is the part worth acting on. A shoulder worn smooth while the middle still has tread usually means the alignment is out, a bush has gone soft, or the car carries weight the geometry was never set for. Fitting new rubber over that buys the same problem again in a year, so the cause gets found before the tyres get quoted.

Brakes are close behind. Stopping often at low speed puts more heat through a pad than a long open road run does, so the interval printed in the book is not always the interval the car gets. We measure what is left and give you the millimetres, so the spend can be planned instead of sprung on you.

Nothing extra happens without a phone call first

Say at booking whether you are waiting for the car, leaving it, or need it back by a set hour, and we will tell you then whether the job fits that window or has to wait on a part coming in.

Anything we find beyond the booked job gets a phone call, with the cost, before it is touched.

How the car is used changes what we check

A car that tows, carries tools or sits loaded all week wears different parts to one doing eight kilometres a day. Say what it does, what it carries and how far it goes, and the check goes where that work actually lands.

Bring the logbook and the current kilometres if a service is what you are after.

Saturday is there if the weekdays do not suit

Monday to Friday 8:00am to 6:00pm, Saturday 9:00am to 4:00pm, closed Sunday. Mobile 0451 109 786, workshop 03 7054 8232, or send a WhatsApp message with the rego and the job.

Common questions

How do I get to you from Campbellfield?
South on Sydney Road, through Fawkner and into Coburg North, then turn left into Newlands Road. If you have come down the Hume instead, join Sydney Road at Campbellfield and do the same. Ring the mobile if you are close and cannot pick the driveway and we will talk you in.
My tyres are wearing unevenly on one side. Why?
Usually alignment, a worn suspension component, or a load the car carries every day pushing the geometry out of shape. New tyres on their own will wear the same way within a year, so we look for the cause first. The guide on tyre wear explains what each wear pattern is telling you.
Do you service light commercial vehicles?
Ring first with the make and model and we will tell you what we can take on and whether it fits the hoists. The mechanical work on a van or a ute is the same work as on a car, but the vehicle has to fit the bay, and that is better sorted on the phone than in the driveway.
Do you do the whole repair or just the diagnosis?
Both. The fault is diagnosed, you get told what was found and what it costs, and the repair goes ahead once you agree to it. If a job is better handled by a specialist we will say so rather than learn on your car.
