FAQs
What types of vehicles do you service?
As a trusted mechanic shop in Newcastle, we work on a wide range of vehicles—petrol, diesel, 4WDs, SUVs, light commercial vans, and small trucks. Whether it’s a family car or a work ute, our team handles everything from logbook servicing and general repairs to steering, suspension, brake work, and gearbox overhauls. We’re set up to meet the day-to-day demands of local drivers and businesses alike.
Do you work on electric or hybrid vehicles?
Our focus is on petrol and diesel engines, which allows us to deliver highly specialised services across combustion-based vehicles. While we currently don’t offer repairs on electric or hybrid models, we’re always reviewing the needs of our community. If you’re unsure whether your vehicle falls within our scope, it’s best to check ahead before booking.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes—bookings are essential. As experienced Newcastle mechanics, we rely on scheduled appointments to manage workflow, minimise turnaround times, and offer services like courtesy cars where possible. While we try to accommodate urgent jobs, booking ahead helps avoid delays, especially for complex repairs or routine servicing.
Do you offer warranties on parts and labour?
We stand by the quality of our work. All parts and labour are covered by warranty in line with industry standards, giving you peace of mind with every service. Whether it’s a minor repair or major mechanical work, drivers looking for reliable mechanics in Newcastle can expect transparency, professionalism, and solid backup if anything goes wrong.
How long will my repair take?
Repair times depend on the type of service or repair needed. Simple jobs like brake pads, tyre alignments or oil changes may take an hour or two. More complex tasks—like logbook servicing, engine diagnostics, or diesel repairs—often need a full half‑day or more. AutoHop offers free courtesy cars, so you’re not stranded while they work on clutch, gearbox or suspension tasks that could span multiple hours or even days. Book with a mechanic near you who values your time and keeps you informed every step of the way.
