Merrylands and its main roads
The M4 runs through
The M4 passes through Merrylands on its way east from Prospect. Locally, Pitt Street runs to Parramatta and Coleman Street to Westmead Hospital.
Woodville Road and the Cumberland Highway
Woodville Road and the Cumberland Highway are the big north-south routes. The highway runs 34 kilometres from Wahroonga to Liverpool and picks up Merrylands Road and Paton Street along the way.
Apartments along Pitt Street
Medium-rise apartments line Pitt Street. If the car's in a basement, tell the mobile mechanic which level, whether there's room to lift the bonnet, and how they get in.
A pink slip at your place
Service NSW's list of AIS stations includes mobile providers, who inspect the car where it's parked. The slip itself costs the same as at a station, but there may be a call-out fee on top.
What a mobile mechanic can do in Merrylands
Plenty of jobs suit a driveway or a legal parking spot: a routine service, a new battery, brake pads, a car that won't start, or a warning light that needs its code read. Jobs that need the car up on a hoist, like a clutch, a gearbox or exhaust work, are workshop jobs.
NSW's repairer licence covers mobile repair businesses as well as workshops, so ask for the number. Mobile mechanics in Sydney has more on parking and access.
What we'd do
With the car at home and the pink slip coming up, we'd ask for a mobile AIS provider and have it inspected in the driveway, then have any repairs it turns up done by a mobile mechanic too, if they suit the kerb. Two visits to your place, no trips across the west.
