We could not be more happier with the service that we received from Glen. He went out of his way and nothing was any trouble. His workmanship was faultless and the job turned out perfect. I travelled forty minutes to get to him, and it was worth it. If your looking for someone to fit out your car stereo gear, he is your guy. Thanks again.

What does a mechanic service usually include?
Mechanics are skilled in nearly all aspects of keeping your car maintained, serviced, and repaired, so it’s roadworthy and efficient to run. The exact process during your service will depend on how your mechanic prefers to work and the type of tasks they’re doing, like:
Minor service
This is the most basic engine service a mechanic provides, but it can make a huge difference in whether or not your car can operate efficiently. A minor service usually alternates with a major service, at around the 6-month mark. A mechanic near you can do minor services because your mechanic only needs a flat service to get the job done. They’ll unscrew the sump plug, allowing old oil to drain from your car. Then they’ll remove the old oil filter and replace with a new one that’s the right size for your vehicle. Your mechanic will dispose of your old filter and oil. They’ll also inspect other key components, like your battery, lights, air filters, and other fluids.
Log book servicing / major service
A major service or log book service involves a series of steps in line with your vehicle manufacturer’s service manual. It’ll include a combination of major and minor services, depending on the age of your car, or how many kilometres it’s travelled. Your service may include testing your lights, brakes, and battery. Then checking fluid levels, windscreen wipers, windows, mirrors, steering, suspension, radiator, fan belts, and tyre pressure. Finally, it may also include maintaining/replacing oil filters, hoses, belts, tyres, and wheel alignment. Your mechanic will finish off by stamping your logbook to record the services completed, which can help maintain your car’s resale value.
Roadworthy certificate or pink slip
A roadworthy certificate or pink slip is a specific vehicle check that’s conducted to ensure your car is in a roadworthy condition and can be operated safely. In some states, it’s required when selling a car or may be required each year to confirm your vehicle is safe for registration purposes. A mechanic will check off a list of predetermined items to verify that your car meets a minimum safety standard set out by your state government. They’ll focus on safety, checking things like tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, rust or damage, seatbelts, windows, lights, and your windscreen.
Major and minor repairs
Sometimes your car might need a little extra attention if you’ve had an accident, broken down, or your drive feels a bit different to normal. A car mechanic can perform minor and major repairs on most vehicles. They’ll use diagnostic equipment to locate the issue and decide on a course of action to get your car back on the road. If they don’t have the necessary spare parts, they may need to order them to finish off your repair and replace any faulty parts. Note that a mechanic service is usually limited to your car’s engine and electrics. It’s best to speak to a panel beater if you also have external body damage.

I want to replace the head unit and speakers in my 1999 Hi-Ace. I plan on buying the unit and speakers myself as well as any adapters or wiring, so am after just the labour of installation and potentially any advice on what to buy. Looking at getting this done whenever possible and am pretty flexible on time. Happy to send any photos etc. Also have a slimline subwoofer in my Nissan Navara that stopped working quickly after install and would appreciate an opinion on what to do next with that however, not as important.

Need mechanic to test/fix turbo actuator on 2015 Mercedes Benz sprinter 319 CDI V6 3 litre diesel . I have below fault code. I'm suspecting faulty actuator or boost solenoid? I found a video on YouTube how to test the actuator with a test light I can send to you.

Replaced intercooler hoses to no avail. 2015 319 CDI ex-ambulance V6 3 litre 484,000km.
