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.

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!

Spearwood's roads

Stock Road on the eastern edge

Stock Road runs 13.9 km from Attadale, near Point Walter on the Swan River, down to Rockingham Road. South of Leach Highway it's a dual carriageway, and almost every junction is traffic lights, so a daily run on it means a lot of braking and pulling away.

Rockingham Road

Phoenix Shopping Centre sits on Rockingham Road, which heads north-west to Fremantle and, from Stock Road, south as National Route 1 towards Rockingham. Phoenix Road, the northern boundary, meets Stock Road on the Bibra Lake boundary.

Getting home without the car

Buses on Spearwood Avenue and Rockingham Road run to Fremantle station. Worth knowing if the car has to stay with the mechanic overnight.

Market gardens and Croatian clubs

Settlement began around the 1850s, and Spearwood soon became one of Perth's major market-gardening areas. It also has a strong Croatian cultural history, still seen in its sporting clubs and community centres.

The licence

Every business doing car repairs in Spearwood needs a WA repair business licence, and its repairers hold a repairer's certificate. Consumer Protection WA says to check it online first.

How do I get a repair quoted properly?

Describe the symptom, not the fix. Consumer Protection WA warns against diagnosing the problem yourself: if you ask for a particular repair and it doesn't cure the fault, the repairer isn't liable. "It shudders when I brake at the lights on Stock Road" gets you further than "replace the rotors".

A quote should set out the work and what it'll cost. The mechanic may need to see the car before quoting, so ask whether there's a charge for that. You authorise the work on that quote, and anything extra needs another yes from you, so ask for a call before it's done.

On a bigger job, Consumer Protection WA suggests getting more than one quote. When you pay, ask for an itemised list of the work and keep it. Car repairs in Perth and car diagnostics go further.

Before we rang anyone

We'd write down what the car does, when and how often: at what speed, hot or cold, braking or turning. Then we'd ask for the quote in writing and a call before any extra work. It saves an argument at the counter later.

Questions people ask

Can I get a car service in Spearwood without going to a workshop?

Yes. A mobile mechanic can do a routine service at a Spearwood home or workplace if there's a safe, level spot. Pick "Come to me" in the card. Repairs that need the car up on a hoist go to a workshop.

What if I'm not happy with a repair?

Talk to the repairer first. If that doesn't settle it, Consumer Protection WA's contact centre can help, and you can lodge a complaint if it still isn't resolved.
