Roadworthy and repairs, Landcruiser

Provided a RWC and repairs for my Landcruiser. Gave me several cost options and were excellent in communication. Unfortunately there was an issue which was outside their control, that I picked up later, however they went above and beyond to resolve it... just outstanding customer service. VERY honest business that you can trust.

Repair work, quoted before starting

Quick drop off. Told what needed doing and how much before the work commenced which was very appreciated. Car ready on time. Great service and car runs like a dream. Thanks guys.

Templestowe's roads

Up from the Yarra

Gentle hills run for seven km along Templestowe Road, from the Yarra flood plains towards the Eastern Freeway. Nothing dramatic, but enough up and down to keep the brakes and an automatic gearbox busy.

Buses, not trains

Templestowe sits between the Hurstbridge and Lilydale lines without a station of its own. SmartBus 905 runs to the city every 15 minutes, all week, but for many trips the car is still the way.

North East Link at Bulleen

The 10 km North East Link is being built to meet the Eastern Freeway at Bulleen, and the freeway itself is being upgraded from Hoddle Street to Springvale Road. Completion is expected in late 2028, so expect works on the drive into town.

Getting a repair done properly in Templestowe

For anything past a routine service, Consumer Affairs Victoria's advice is to get a written estimate before work starts. It should cover the work, the parts, when it'll be ready and how you'll pay, and the mechanic has to give you a notice of the repairs planned for the car.

Say clearly that you want a call before any work you haven't approved. When it's done, ask for an itemised account showing how the cost was worked out, and keep the receipt. Car repairs in Melbourne covers what to do if you're not happy.

Servicing a car with no train to share the load

On RACV's numbers, a minor service falls due at 10,000 to 15,000 km or after 12 months, and a Templestowe car that does most of the household's trips can get to the kilometres first. The schedule in your own service book is the one to follow. Car servicing in Melbourne.

Our take

For a repair, we'd want the estimate in writing and an agreement that nothing extra happens without a phone call. Then there are no surprises on the invoice, and you decide what gets done.

Questions people ask

Do I have to accept repairs the mechanic didn't mention?

No. Make it clear before work starts that you must be called about anything you haven't authorised, as Consumer Affairs Victoria suggests. Then the decision stays with you.

Can a mobile mechanic come to me in Templestowe?

For servicing, a battery or a car that won't start, often yes. Choose "Come to me (mobile mechanic)" in the card and use 3106.
