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.

Rowville's roads and estates

Stud Road meets Wellington Road

Stud Road (Metro Route 9) runs through Rowville and crosses Wellington Road, one of the worst bottlenecks on the Dandenong Valley Highway. Queues at that junction are where a slipping automatic or a dragging brake gets noticed.

EastLink at Wellington Road

EastLink's Wellington Road interchange is in Rowville, at toll point 8. Traffic on Stud Road dropped significantly once EastLink opened, so the freeway is the long-distance route out.

Estates on estates

Rowville Lakes, off Stud Road, saw over 1500 homes built, the largest development Knox has had. Park Ridge has about 1000 houses. A house with a driveway or garage gives a mobile mechanic room to work.

Stud Park

Rowville's largest shopping centre opened in 1989 and has about 1500 car spaces, with regular buses. If the car dies there, give the shopping centre as the location.

What to have ready for a mobile mechanic in Rowville

  • The service book, so the mechanic can see what's due and stamp it after.
  • Somewhere level and firm, with room on both sides of the car.
  • A heads-up about a low garage door or a tight carport.
  • A photo of the dash if a warning light is on.
  • The keys, and any locking wheel nut key.

When it has to go to a workshop

Gearbox work, a clutch and most jobs that need the car on a hoist go to a workshop. Mobile mechanics in Melbourne explains where the line usually falls.

If it were our car

With the Wellington Road queue part of every day, we'd mention it at each service, so the mechanic checks the brakes and the transmission fluid with stop-start driving in mind.

Questions people ask

Can a mobile mechanic service my car in Rowville?

Many services can be done at home, as long as there's level ground and room around the car. Choose "Come to me" in the card and give 3178.

What if the car stops on EastLink?

Get off the road if you can, hazard lights on, and get everyone out on the side away from traffic if it's safe. Call roadside assistance if you have it. If anyone's hurt or in danger, call 000.
