Yes. Southwest Mechanical & Offroad is a 4WD-only workshop.

That means our team spends every day working on 4WDs, from regular servicing and repairs through to suspension, accessories and upgrades. It also means we’re familiar with the way these vehicles are used for towing, touring, work and offroad driving.

Yes. We carry out log book servicing in line with the manufacturer’s requirements.

We also take into account how your 4WD is actually being used, particularly if it spends time towing, touring, working on site or heading offroad.

Yes. If something doesn’t feel right, is making an unusual noise or a warning light has appeared, book the vehicle in and we can investigate it properly.

Some issues are straightforward, while others need more fault finding. We’ll work through the symptoms, explain what we find and discuss the next step with you.

Yes. We’re a full mechanical 4WD workshop, so we can look after much more than routine servicing.

If we find a larger issue during a service or inspection, we can discuss the repair with you and, where appropriate, carry out the work in our workshop.

Yes. We fit a range of 4WD accessories and upgrades for touring, towing, work and offroad use.

The right setup depends on the vehicle and what you want it to do, so we’re happy to talk through your plans before recommending anything.

Yes. A pre-trip inspection can help identify servicing, maintenance or repair issues before you head away.

It’s especially worth considering if you’re planning a longer trip, towing or travelling in remote areas.

Yes. We can inspect a 4WD before you buy it and give you a clearer picture of its mechanical condition.

This can be particularly useful with modified vehicles or 4WDs that may have spent time towing, touring or offroad.

Yes. Booking is essential.

Our workshop can get busy, so booking ahead gives us the best chance of allocating the right amount of time for your vehicle and the work required.

We believe in being up front and transparent about our pricing, so you know what to expect before we get started.

Our labour rates start from $170 per hour, which includes diagnostic time and a written report where required. There’s also no charge to quote, so you can understand what’s needed before committing to the work.

Every vehicle and job is different, so the total cost will depend on the work required, the parts involved, and the time needed to complete the job. We’re happy to discuss your requirements, provide an estimate where possible, and keep you informed throughout the process.

If you’re unsure what your vehicle needs, get in touch with our team. We’re always happy to have a chat, answer your questions, and help you work out the best solution for your vehicle and your budget.

In some cases, yes. If you already have parts or accessories you'd like fitted, get in touch with us first. We’ll check that they’re suitable for your vehicle and the work required before confirming whether we can fit them.

You can get in touch through the website contact form or call the workshop on (08) 9721 4080.
