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.

Getting around Bankstown

Main roads and the M5

Canterbury, Liverpool and Punchbowl roads are the main roads across the council area, and the M5 runs through the Bankstown area on its way to the airport and Liverpool. If your daily driving is mostly those main roads at peak hour, it's stop-start, and NRMA says brake pads get used up sooner that way.

Around the station

Bankstown's commercial centre clusters around the station, on a line being converted to Sydney Metro standards. If the change has put your car back on the daily commute, check when the next service falls due by kilometres, not just by date.

The airport side

Bankstown Airport, set up in 1940 on 313 hectares, is a centre for aviation, engineering and maintenance work. If you work out there, a mobile mechanic may be able to meet the car in the staff car park, as long as the site allows it.

Licences cover mobile mechanics too

NSW licenses motor vehicle repairers, mobile and part-time businesses included, so the mechanic who comes to your driveway needs the same licence a workshop does. Ask for the number.

At your place or in a workshop?

Done where the car is parked: battery swaps, cars that won't start, and most of the items on a logbook service. Done in a workshop: anything that needs the car on a hoist, such as rotating and balancing the wheels, and the bigger repairs.

Whoever does it, NSW says to get the quote in writing first. The repairer may only do the work you've authorised.

Where we'd start

We'd have a mobile mechanic come out for the battery or a routine service, and keep the workshop trip for jobs that need a hoist. Either way we'd want the NSW repairer licence number and a written quote before any tools come out.

Questions people ask

Do mobile mechanics in Bankstown need a licence?

Yes. Any repair business in NSW, mobile and part-time ones too, must hold a motor vehicle repairer licence, and it shows on the public register.

How often should I service a car that only does short trips around Bankstown?

Look in the book for a severe or harder-use schedule. RACV says frequent short trips and stop-start traffic can mean a service around every six months.
