Chinese car service in Coburg North

MG, BYD, GWM Haval, Chery and LDV are welcome here. We follow the schedule in the book, stamp it, and say plainly what we can and cannot do on your model.

Clear workshop floor with hoist arms lowered, ready for the next vehicle

These makes are newer to Australian roads than the badges most workshops grew up with. The schedule still tells you what to check and what to change, and the book gets stamped the same way it is on anything else.

Model ranges here change quickly, so before you book we would rather confirm what your car needs than promise in advance and find out on the day.

None of these cars is a mystery under the bonnet

MG, GWM Haval and Chery bring the hatches and the SUVs, LDV the vans and utes, and BYD arrives with a very different drivetrain to the rest.

Whichever one you drive, the routine items are recognisable: oil and filter where there is an engine, brakes, tyres, suspension, cooling, and the inspections the schedule lists.

We follow the book, not a guess

Every one of these cars ships with a service schedule, and that schedule is what keeps the factory warranty intact. You do not have to return to the dealer for it. The work has to match the schedule and the parts have to meet the specification, which an independent workshop can do.

So we work from your book rather than a generic service list. The interval is quoted from the kilometres on your dash, the book is stamped, and the invoice names the oil grade and every part fitted.

Petrol, hybrid and electric are not the same job

A petrol MG and an electric BYD share tyres, brakes, suspension, steering, cabin filters and a twelve volt battery, and all of that is normal workshop work. What differs is anything attached to a high voltage system.

Rather than make a blanket claim, tell us the model and year when you book. We confirm what we can take on, and if part of the job belongs somewhere else you hear that before you drive over.

When a warning light comes up

Diagnostics on a newer make comes down to tooling coverage. Reading a code is the easy half. Seeing live data from the right module, and knowing what a normal reading looks like on that car, is the half that finds the fault instead of replacing parts in hope.

Ring before you book a diagnostic job on one of these cars and we will check coverage for your model first. 0451 109 786 reaches the mobile, 03 7054 8232 is the workshop line.

Tell us the model and we confirm the job before you drive over

Send the model, the build year and the kilometres from the dash, along with the logbook or the digital service record if you have it to hand. If the car is still inside its factory warranty, say so when you book, because that decides which interval we quote.

Common questions

Do you need the digital service record or the printed book?
Whichever your car came with. Some of these models keep the record digitally, in which case the invoice from each visit carries the date, the kilometres and the parts. Others still have a book to stamp. Bring or send what you have when you book and we will tell you what the schedule asks for at your kilometres.
Do you work on BYD and other electric cars?
Tyres, brakes, suspension, steering, cabin filters and the twelve volt battery are ordinary workshop jobs on any electric car. Anything touching the high voltage system is a different question, so tell us the model and year and we confirm what we can take on before you come in.
Can you get parts for a GWM Haval or a Chery?
We check availability when we quote, so you know the wait before the car is off the road. Send the model, the year and what the car needs, and if a part has to be ordered in you hear about it while you are still deciding rather than once the car is on the hoist.
Are these cars harder to service?
Routine servicing is much the same work as on any other modern car. The difference is that the model range here is young, so we confirm the schedule and the tooling for your car rather than assume it matches the last one that came through.
