Car servicingMount Louisa.
Once a car drops off its logbook schedule it still needs a proper service to stay reliable. We give older Mount Louisa cars a thorough general service: fluids and filters done, brakes and safety gone over, and a plain rundown of anything worth watching. The workshop is just down the hill in Garbutt, the same 4814 postcode, a couple of minutes away.

Why it matters
A small service nowbeats a big bill later.
A lot of Mount Louisa driving is short runs, the school drop and quick trips down to the shops, exactly the kind of work that quietly wears an engine. Keeping on top of servicing holds an older family car together through the Townsville build-up and catches the small stuff while it is still cheap.
Starts and runs, every time
Clean oil, fresh filters and an engine that has been properly checked mean the car fires first go and pulls strong, even when the humidity sits heavy in the wet.
Trouble spotted early
A full once-over flags worn brakes, weeping hoses and slow leaks while they are still an easy fix, not after they have left you stuck on the side of Mather Street.
Cheaper to run, worth more to sell
A healthy engine drinks less fuel and goes the distance, and a tidy stamped history holds the price when it comes time to move the family car on.

Every day of the week. You are practically next door, the same 4814 postcode and a two-minute run down Bayswater Road to our Garbutt shed. Book ahead and drop the keys as you head past, or use the secure after-hours drop, and the car is usually ready to collect that afternoon.
As a rough guide, every 10,000 km or six months, whichever you hit first. Cars piling on the kays, older runabouts and utes that work for a living are worth booking in sooner. Tell us the car and the sort of driving it does and we will pin it down for you.
Think of a general service as the right fit once the car is out of warranty or off the maker timetable: a full check-over with fresh oil, filters and fluids. A log book service hews to the handbook exactly so a new-car warranty holds up. Unsure which applies to you? Give us a quick call.
Odds are yes. Petrol or diesel, front or four-wheel drive, home-grown or imported, from a Corolla or Mazda3 up to the Ranger, Hilux and LandCruiser utes you see heading up the hill of an afternoon.
Down to the car and what it genuinely needs on the day. You get the number first and nothing extra lands on the bill without a call. Text us the rego or phone 0457 816 890 for a figure.
Never. Anything we uncover mid-service gets a phone call and a clear price before a spanner goes near it. What you pay at pickup matches what we quoted, full stop.
