Car servicingCurrajong.
Once a car is past its logbook years it still needs regular care to keep earning its keep. We give older Currajong cars a thorough general service: fluids and filters refreshed, brakes and safety items checked, and a clear note on anything to watch. The workshop is a neighbouring suburb away, a few minutes along Bayswater Road and Nathan Street.

Why it matters
A small service nowbeats a big bill later.
Plenty of Currajong running is short trips, the school drop-off and quick errands around the established streets, and that stop-start work quietly takes its toll on an engine. Keeping the servicing regular holds an older car together through the Townsville build-up and catches the little faults before they grow.
Reliable every time you turn the key
Fresh oil, clean filters and a properly checked engine mean the car fires up first go and pulls willingly, even when the February humidity sits heavy.
Faults caught while they are cheap
A full inspection picks up worn brakes, seeping hoses and slow leaks while the repair is minor, long before one of them strands you on the way home.
Lower running costs, stronger resale
A well-kept engine drinks less fuel and goes the distance, and a neat, stamped record protects what the car is worth when you trade up.

Common questions
The questionswe hear most.
Still not sure? Give the workshop a call or send a message and we will sort it.
Of course. The workshop is one suburb over in Garbutt, a couple of minutes up Nathan Street, so it is barely a detour. Drop it in on your way past or use the secure after-hours key drop, and most general services are turned around the same day.
As a rule of thumb, every six months or 10,000 km, whichever comes around first. Older runabouts, high-kilometre cars and 4WDs that work for a living are worth booking in a bit sooner. Tell us what you drive and how hard you push it, and we will set a sensible interval.
A general service is for a car that has aged out of warranty or off the factory schedule: we refresh the oil, filters and fluids and give it a full inspection, without being tied to the handbook stamp. A log book service follows that handbook precisely so a new-car warranty stays valid. Unsure which yours needs? We will tell you straight.
Almost certainly yes. Petrol or diesel, two or four-wheel drive, locally built or imported, from a little Corolla or i30 through to the work utes and family wagons parked across Currajong's leafy streets.
It hangs on the car and what it genuinely needs on the day. We give you the figure up front and never sneak extras on. Send the rego through or ring 0457 816 890 for a price.
No. If we turn up a problem mid-service, we down tools and ring you with a clear cost before going any further. What you pay at pickup is exactly what you signed off on.
