I have heard a noise from somewhere or a light has come on to my dash?
Don't ignore anything! Call us, it may be minor but it may be an early warning sign that something is wrong and requires attention. Early detection of a problem will save you money and prevent further issues and the car possibly being off the road for a prolonged period.
How often should I get my vehicle serviced?
Every vehicle is different, we advise a minimum of 10,000 km or 1 year, but if you contact us we will be more than happy to advise you on what would be best depending on how often you use the vehicle and the type of engine that it has, petrol/diesel and any other specific requirements.
I'm not sure how to check my engine oil/water or tyre pressure?
Give us a ring, call in and we will do it for you, no costs are charged. Not only that but we will show you how it is done so you know for next time. Sometimes special fluid or oil is required depending on your vehicle, so don't just top up any fluids without making sure the correct type is being used!
I start work early, how can I get my car to you?
In most cases, if you live close by we can pick up the vehicle depending on our workload, we do open from early hours (earlier than advertised) if necessary and we can drop you to work and pick you up if this helps. Customer service comes first.
What if my car is at home broken down or I break down whilst driving?
No problems at all, we have a reliable low-cost towing service which is cheaper than a call-out fee. We will gladly tow your vehicle to the workshop, diagnose the problem at no cost where possible and ring you with a quote on the repair prior to commencing any work.
What makes 1st Choice Mechanical Repairs the preferred choice? Why come to you guys?
We are about honesty. Customer service and satisfaction is our promise! We put the customer first as would Andrew expect when he deals with any business or people, we are here for the long haul and want to build a relationship with you, not just see you as another customer through our doors. Without you, we would not be here so we are here to do the best possible job and meet your highest expectations at all times.
Do you work on weekends?
We are open on Saturday by appointment. Appointments must be at least a few days in advance so we can make sure the job we are doing for you will be completed on time and that if we need parts we can have everything ready to go,
I am a senior and/or studying. Am I eligible for a discount/concession?
We offer a discount on all repairs to our seniors and students alike. Across the whole range of repairs that we perform, we will definitely look after you with the best possible price and guaranteed best personal service and repair.
What vehicles do you work on?
We work on all makes and models including new and old, Petrol/diesel light vehicles, 4x4 & small to medium trucks. Andrew has a vast experience on all makes and has been working on all makes for over 16 years. One benefit over a dealer trained technician is his exposure to all the vehicle/s systems and requirements. An extensive knowledge is a piece of mind.
Can you service my car while it is under new car warranty?
Yes, dealers will try and have you return to them for fixed price and genuine servicing, however, we are as suitably trained as their technicians, we have the same computer software and we use Valvoline fluids which match or exceed those oils used by the dealer. We guarantee to beat their huge prices and will provide a personal service where you can actually speak with the technician. Your new car warranty will not be void!
