We’ll take a look at your engine oil, water and tyre pressure completely free of charge. We will also show you how it’s done, so you know how to do it in the future.

Not a problem. If you live locally in Wollongong, 1st Choice Mechanical Repairs will happily pick up your vehicle. We are generally open earlier than advertised.

Yes. We strongly recommend that you never ignore anything unusual with your vehicle. It may be something minor, but it may be an early warning sign of something major. Early detection will help save you money and prevent further issues from appearing . We help keep your cars on the road and will happily address any faults you are experiencing.

Every vehicle is different, but we generally advise servicing annually or every 10,000 km. If you give us a call, we will happily advise on what is best depending on how often you use your vehicle and any other requirements we may need to consider.

We service and repair all makes and models, new and old, including petrol, diesel, LPGs, light vehicles, 4x4s and small to medium Utes. Our business owner, Andrew, has over 16 years of experience with all vehicles, which means he has greater knowledge of all vehicle systems and requirements than many dealer trained technicians.
