Mechanic in Malaga

A Malaga workshop that does the mechanical work and the auto electrical work under one roof — which matters more often than you would think, because plenty of mechanical complaints turn out to be electrical.

Malaga workshop Mon–Fri 8:00am–5:00pm Sat 8:00am–12:00pm Auto electrical, AC & mechanical in-house

Where we are, and how it works

We are at 6/178 Camboon Road, Malaga WA 6090, open Mon–Fri 8:00am–5:00pm and Sat 8:00am–12:00pm.

Tell us what the vehicle is doing, we inspect and diagnose it, and you get the price before the work starts. If we find something else once it is apart, you get a phone call and a decision — not a surprise on the invoice.

Why a workshop that does both is useful

A great deal of what gets reported as a mechanical problem is electrical, and the reverse happens too. A rough-running engine can be a mechanical fault or a sensor reporting badly. A no-start can be fuel, compression, or a security module. A charging warning can be an alternator or the wiring to it.

When those two disciplines sit in separate businesses, you can end up paying each of them to rule out their own area. Having both here means the diagnosis follows the fault instead of stopping at a trade boundary.

What affects the price

We quote after we have looked at the vehicle, because an honest number needs the actual fault rather than a description of it. What moves the price on this kind of work:

  • Diagnostic time. An obvious fault is quick; an intermittent one that only appears when hot, cold or over a bump takes longer to reproduce and confirm.
  • Part cost for your specific vehicle. This varies enormously between makes — European parts are frequently multiples of the equivalent for a common Japanese model.
  • Access. Some components are behind a dash, a subframe or an engine mount. The part can be cheap and the labour the opposite.
  • Whether the fault has caused secondary damage that also needs addressing.
  • Whether coding or calibration is required after fitting.

You get the number before the work starts, and nothing extra happens without you approving it first.

Vehicles we work on

European, Asian, Australian and American vehicles — passenger cars, 4WDs, utes, vans and light commercials, for private owners and fleets.

If your vehicle needs something we are not equipped for, we will tell you rather than have a go at it. That is not a common outcome, but it is the honest answer when it happens.

Warranty on this work

Workmanship and parts are covered. The specific period depends on the job and on the part supplier's own warranty, so the terms that apply to your repair are set out on your invoice — ask us to walk you through them before you approve the work if you would like it clear up front.

This sits alongside your rights under Australian Consumer Law, which apply regardless of what any warranty document says.

Frequently asked questions

Where is your workshop?

6/178 Camboon Road, Malaga WA 6090. We are open Mon–Fri 8:00am–5:00pm and Sat 8:00am–12:00pm. Call (08) 9249 8619 to book, or use the booking form on our homepage.

Do you take walk-ins?

We will always help if we can, but booking ahead means we can allocate the right amount of time to your vehicle rather than fitting it between jobs. Call first if you can.

What vehicles do you work on?

European, Asian, Australian and American vehicles — passenger cars, 4WDs, utes, vans and light commercials, for private owners and fleets.

Do I get a quote before the work?

Yes. We inspect and diagnose, then quote. If something additional comes up once the vehicle is apart, you get a call and you decide.

Do you do both mechanical and auto electrical work?

Yes, both in-house. It is genuinely useful, because a lot of complaints could be either — and diagnosing across both means you are not paying two workshops to rule out their own area.
