FAQ
All You Need To Know
What are the signs my car needs mechanical repairs?
Common signs include strange noises (like knocking or grinding), vibrations, dashboard warning lights, poor fuel economy, leaking fluids, and reduced performance or braking power. You might also notice your car pulling to one side or struggling to start. It's always best to get these checked early to avoid more serious — and expensive — issues later on.
How much do mechanical repairs usually cost in Australia?
Repair costs vary widely depending on the type of issue, vehicle make, and the parts needed. Minor repairs like spark plug replacements or brake pad changes can range from $150–$500. More complex issues, like engine repairs or cooling system overhauls, may run into the thousands. Getting a clear, itemised quote from a trusted mechanic is the best way to budget properly.
Can I drive my car if it needs mechanical repairs?
It depends on the issue. Some problems, like a worn brake pad or small oil leak, may not be urgent but still require prompt attention. Others — such as overheating, brake failure, or suspension damage — can make driving unsafe and should be repaired immediately. When in doubt, it’s safer to have your vehicle inspected before continuing to drive.
