Car service in Coburg

We are up on Newlands Road in Coburg North, a straight run north from the Coburg shops. Logbook servicing, brakes, tyres and engine diagnostics, on everything from a Corolla to a C-Class.

Sydney Road carries you most of the way

Coburg is directly south of us, so this is a run up the road rather than a trip across town. Follow Sydney Road north over Bell Street, past Coburg station and the Pentridge walls, and we are east of Sydney Road on Newlands Road.

Sydney Road traffic eats brake pads

If your week is spent in that traffic, brakes come around sooner than you expect. Stop and start driving works the pads harder than open road kilometres do. We measure the pads and the discs, tell you what is left on them, and quote before anything comes apart.

Tyres come in just as often. Kerbside parking on the side streets is hard on sidewalls, and a nail picked up near the shops is often a repair rather than a new tyre. Tyres are supplied, fitted and balanced here, and we read the wear pattern in case it is pointing at something underneath.

Leave the car and take the tram back

Coburg is close enough that you do not need to organise a lift. Hand the keys over, walk back down to Sydney Road for the tram, or pick up the train at Coburg station and carry on with the day. Tell us the hour you need the car back and we plan the day around that rather than around the queue.

Say when the noise turns up, not just that it does

For a brake complaint, say where the noise sits and when it turns up: only when the car is cold, only under heavy braking, or every time. For a tyre, say whether the pressure drops overnight or over a week. Those two details decide what we look at first and keep the diagnostic time down.

Open from 8:00am on weekdays

We open at 8:00am Monday to Friday and close at 6:00pm, Saturday runs 9:00am to 4:00pm, and Sunday we are closed. Reach us on the mobile at 0451 109 786 or the workshop line on 03 7054 8232, or send a WhatsApp message with the car and the job and we will come back with a day.

Common questions

Where exactly are you from the Coburg shops?
We are at 1/87 Newlands Road, Coburg North, north of Bell Street and east of Sydney Road. The shopfront carries the service board and the VACC member sign, so you will pick it out from the road. If you would rather follow a map than a description, the Get directions link on this page opens the address in Google Maps.
Can you replace brake pads the same day?
Sometimes, and it depends on what the measurement shows and what is on the shelf for your model. We check the pads, the discs and the fluid first, ring you with the price, and start once you agree. If a disc has to be machined or a part ordered in, you hear that on the phone rather than after the wheels are off.
Do you fit tyres, or only service the car?
Both. We fit and balance tyres in the workshop, and a puncture is plugged and patched from the inside wherever the damage allows a safe repair. If the tread is wearing unevenly across the tyre we will say so, because that usually points at alignment or a worn suspension part rather than at the tyre itself.
Do I need to book, or can I just turn up?
Please book. The workshop runs to a schedule so your car goes on a hoist at the time we promised instead of sitting in the yard. Ring the mobile or the workshop line, or message us with the make, model and what it is doing, and we will confirm a day that suits you.

Coburg is a short run down the road. Pick a day and we will confirm it.
