Mechanics in the Sutherland Shire

South of the Georges River, between the bay, the sea and the national parks.

The Sutherland Shire covers 370 square kilometres south of Botany Bay and the Georges River, and 173 of them are national park, so it matters which suburb the car is actually in. Give us the job, the make and the car's own postcode (2230 for Cronulla, say), and a mechanic close to it who does that work rings you. Mobile mechanics work across the Shire for cars that can't be driven.

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!

Service, transmission oil and filters

Reliable and high-quality mechanics! I had my first service done with [The mechanic], I changed the transmission oil and all the filters as well. I highly recommend the shop.

The Shire's roads and edges

Four bridges to the north

Only four bridges cross the Shire's northern border. Tom Uglys Bridge, the first road bridge into the Shire, opened in 1929, and the six-lane Captain Cook Bridge between Taren Point and Rocky Point followed in 1965. If the car is playing up, get it looked at on this side of the river before the drive north.

The Princes Highway and the big routes

The Princes Highway is the main road through the Shire, with the Bangor Bypass, Heathcote Road and New Illawarra Road as the other big routes. Highway kilometres add up fast, so keep an eye on the kilometre limit in the service book as well as the date.

National parks

The Royal, Heathcote and Botany Bay national parks are all in the Shire, and they take up nearly half its area. A breakdown on a park road is a long way from a driveway, so a car with a warning light on is one to sort out first, not after the weekend drive.

Where the trains stop

Trains terminate at Cronulla, and the Shire's eastern edge is the Tasman Sea. Cars that live near the beach need the same rust checks underneath as anywhere on the coast.

Mobile mechanics and pink slips across the Shire

For a no-start, a flat battery or a routine service, a mobile mechanic can come to the driveway or the street. Anything that needs a hoist goes to a workshop, and the Shire has commercial centres at Miranda, Menai, Sylvania, Kirrawee, Caringbah and Cronulla.

Pink slips come from AIS stations, and Service NSW's list includes mobile providers who come to the car. NSW also licenses repair businesses, mobile ones included, so ask for the licence number when someone rings. Mechanics in Miranda covers the Shire's main centre.

If it were our car

We'd put in the postcode of the suburb the car is actually in, not just "the Shire", since Menai and Cronulla are a fair drive apart. If the car can't be driven safely, we'd pick "Come to me (mobile mechanic)" and leave it where it is.

Questions people ask

Can a mobile mechanic come to me in the Sutherland Shire?

Yes, for most servicing, batteries and no-start jobs. Choose "Come to me (mobile mechanic)" in the card and give the postcode of the suburb the car is in.

Where do I get a pink slip in the Sutherland Shire?

From an AIS station, or a mobile AIS provider who inspects the car at your place. Pick "Roadworthy or safety check" and add the car's postcode.
