Mechanics in Osborne Park

Warehouses, small businesses and Australia's biggest car yard strip.

Osborne Park is mostly a working suburb, so the simple way to find a mechanic here is to give 6017 and the job, and have the car looked at while you're at work. It's 8 km north-west of the CBD, and since the 1980s it has been mostly warehouses, car yards and small businesses. If you're here to buy, Scarborough Beach Road is the largest car yard precinct in Australia, and a few WA rules are worth knowing first.

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!

Osborne Park, for work and for buying

From market gardens to warehouses

Osborne Park began as market gardens on the peaty ground between Lake Monger and Herdsman Lake. It was residential after the Second World War and mostly industrial by the 1980s, which makes a weekday drop-off near work an easy option.

The car yard strip

Scarborough Beach Road holds the largest car yard precinct in Australia. A used car from a licensed dealer may come with WA's statutory warranty, but only within limits on price, age and kilometres.

Glendalough station

The suburb is served by Glendalough station on the Yanchep line, handy if the car stays with the mechanic for the day.

Check the licence

An Osborne Park repair business needs a WA repair business licence, and the mechanics working there hold a repairer's certificate. Consumer Protection WA lets you check a licence online.

What a WA dealer's statutory warranty covers

Age and kilometresStatutory warranty
Newer used carUp to 10 years old and up to 150,000 km3 months or 5,000 km, whichever comes first

Before you sign on Scarborough Beach Road

Consumer Protection WA strongly recommends paying for a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic before buying a used car. A PPSR search shows whether it's a repairable write-off, stolen, or still has money owing on it.

The statutory warranty usually doesn't cover routine servicing, and it doesn't apply to vehicles built mainly to carry goods, so a work ute or van needs its own look. Pre-purchase car inspections in Perth covers what the mechanic checks.

Our take

We'd have any used car from the strip looked at by an independent mechanic before signing, warranty or not, and run the PPSR check the same day. For servicing, we'd use the working week: drop it near the office, get the estimate in writing, and collect it on the way home.

Questions people ask

Can I get car repairs done in Osborne Park while I'm at work?

Yes, if a workshop nearby has room that day. Give 6017, say it's a weekday drop-off, and ask for the estimate in writing before any work starts. Car repairs in Perth covers what that estimate should say.
