you understand how we work and what you can expect
Why should I choose 1st choice mechanical repair?
That’s easy. We take pride in being honest with our customers and providing excellent customer service. Our team puts our customers first as our owner, Andrew, won’t do business any other way. We appreciate that we wouldn’t be here without you and we are dedicated to building strong relationships with every customer who walks through our door.
Can you service my car if it is under a new car warranty?
Yes. 1st Choice Mechanical Repairs has suitably trained technicians and the same computer software and Castrol fluids that match or exceed the oils used by dealers. We guarantee that we can beat their prices and provide a more personalised service where you can actually speak one-to-one with your allocated technician. You can also enjoy peace of mind that your new car warranty will not be voided.
What if i can't bring my car to your shop?
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. Give us a call to see if we are available. If necessary, we can drop you off and pick you up at your place of work, as great customer service always comes first to our team.
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.
How do i check my engine oil, water and tyre pressure?
If you are unsure about any car maintenance essentials, you can always give 1st Choice Mechanical Repairs a ring. 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. It is important to point out that some vehicles require special fluids, so make sure you get expert advice to ensure you use the correct type.
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.
