Servicing and a brake fluid pipe repair

We have been taking our vehicle to get services for more than 5 year. [The mechanic] and his team provide great service. They are friendly, reliable and helpful and great communicators when there is a component needing replacement. They are also super helpful and fit us in when there’s a car emergency like a broken break fluid pipe.

Heidelberg's roads

Burgundy Street and the main roads

Burgundy Street is the main street, with over 230 shops and businesses, and Rosanna Road, Upper Heidelberg Road and Banksia Street are the other main roads.

Banksia Street to the Yarra

Banksia Street is part of the long Bell Street to Springvale Road highway. It links Heidelberg with Bell Street to the west and, over the Yarra, Manningham Road to the east.

Shops for the district

Warringal Shopping Centre on Rosanna Road serves around 41,000 people from Heidelberg, Viewbank, Rosanna, Ivanhoe and Eaglemont, so a lot of local driving is short runs to the shops.

The hospital precinct

If you work at the hospitals and the car spends the day in a staff car park, check the car park's rules before a mobile mechanic heads there.

The jobs that come up in Heidelberg

A car that does short local runs, to the shops, the station or a hospital shift, rarely gets warm enough to look after its battery. RACV counts trips under 20 minutes among the usual causes of a flat one, so ask for a battery test with each service and say how the car is used.

If a warning light comes on, engine light on explains what it means and what to do first. For a routine service, see car service in Melbourne.

What we'd do

We'd put the postcode where the car spends its day, which for hospital staff may be Heidelberg even if home is further out. Then a mobile mechanic can see to a battery or a service in the gap between shifts, where the car park allows it.

Questions people ask

Can a mobile mechanic come to the hospital car park?

It depends on the car park's rules, so check first. If it's allowed, pick "Come to me" and give the car park and level in the note.

Where do I get a roadworthy near Heidelberg?

Pick "Roadworthy or safety check" with 3084 and the job goes to a local licensed vehicle tester. Roadworthy certificates in Victoria.
