A Family-Owned Bunbury Workshop That Only Works on 4WDs

Southwest Mechanical & Offroad is a family-owned and operated 4WD workshop run by Jana and Rhys.

For 10 years, we've been servicing, repairing and modifying 4WDs for people across Bunbury and the South West.

And yes, we're into them outside work too.

Turns out spending all week around 4WDs apparently wasn't enough.

Built Around Vehicles We Genuinely Care About

Southwest Mechanical & Offroad started with a simple idea.

Build something of our own around work we actually enjoy doing.

Rhys brought years of mechanical experience and a long-standing interest in 4WDs. Together, Jana and Rhys built a workshop where customers could get servicing, repairs and offroad work done properly, with straightforward advice and people who actually cared what happened after the vehicle left.

10 years later, that's still the point.

Meet Jana

Jana keeps the front of the business moving.

Bookings, phone calls, enquiries, quotes and the million small things required to keep a workshop organised generally land somewhere near her desk.

She's also often the first person you'll speak to when you get in touch.

The aim is simple: keep communication clear and make dealing with the workshop easy.

Meet Rhys

Rhys works alongside the workshop team and brings around 20 years of hands-on mechanical experience to the business.

He's involved across servicing, mechanical repairs, fault finding, suspension and 4WD setups.

He also spends plenty of time around 4WDs outside work, which means the advice isn't coming purely from a parts catalogue.

Your 4WD, Sorted Step by Step

  • 01. Start with how you use it

    Daily driving, towing, touring, work or off-road use all put different demands on a vehicle. We start by understanding what yours actually does.

  • 02. Check what’s happening

    We inspect the vehicle, identify any issues and look at the current setup as a whole.

  • 03. Talk through the options

    We’ll explain what we’ve found and what we recommend, so you understand what’s worth doing now and what can wait.

  • 04. Carry out the work properly

    From servicing and repairs to suspension and accessories, we complete the work with the same attention to detail across the whole vehicle.

  • 05. Hand it back ready for what’s next

    You leave knowing what’s been done and where your vehicle stands.
