Car service

Excellent service and quality work. The team was very professional, transparent, and explained everything clearly before carrying out the work. My car was in great condition after the service, and the whole process was quick and efficient. I highly recommend them!

Midland's roads out of town

Great Northern Highway

It runs almost 3,200 km from Midland to Wyndham, the longest highway in Australia, out to the Pilbara and the Kimberley. If the car's going that way, a service and a look at the tyres and cooling system before you leave is time well spent.

Greenmount Hill

On its 590 km run to Kalgoorlie, Great Eastern Highway climbs off the coastal plain up Greenmount Hill, a steep 3 km slope with a 7% gradient. Towing up it works the engine, cooling and transmission hard, and the way down leans on the brakes.

Through town, or around it

Inside the townsite, Great Eastern Highway carries the eastbound traffic and Victoria Street the westbound. Travellers who don't stop go round on Roe Highway.

Moving from over east

Midland has a transport department centre, the nearest one for suburbs like Ellenbrook. A car brought from another state needs an inspection at an Authorised Inspection Station before it can be licensed in WA, so line up any repairs before you go.

A licence to look up

Midland's repair businesses each need a WA repair business licence, and their mechanics hold a repairer's certificate. Consumer Protection WA has an online licence search.

What to have checked before a run north or east

  • The next service, if it's due in the next few thousand kilometres
  • Tyres, the spare included, for tread depth, damage and pressure checked cold
  • Hoses for softness and leaks, and drive belts for cracking, as RAC WA suggests
  • The radiator core, which clogs with dead insects on country drives
  • Brakes, if you'll be towing down Greenmount Hill
  • The battery, before the heat does it for you

Where we'd start

We'd have the car looked at a week or two before a big trip, not the day before, so there's time to get a part in. And we'd tell the mechanic where it's going and what it's pulling, because a run to the Pilbara and a trip to Mundaring aren't the same job.

Questions people ask

Is there a mobile mechanic in Midland?

Mobile mechanics can come to a house in Midland or up in the hills for a service, a battery or a car that won't start. Pick "Come to me" in the card; anything needing a hoist goes to a workshop.

Does a car from interstate need an inspection?

Yes. Every interstate vehicle is inspected at an Authorised Inspection Station and issued a certificate of inspection before it's licensed in WA. The certificate is valid for 3 months. Vehicle inspections in WA explains the rest.
