Mechanical servicing and repairs
We provide logbook and general servicing. We also repair petrol and diesel engines, drivelines, brakes, steering, suspension and cooling systems. Ask us about safety inspections and the checks your vehicle needs.
Mechanical Capability & Qualifications
Mechanical capability · Qualifications and workshop resources
The skills and equipment to see the job through.
Total Mobile Mechanical Services repairs cars, trucks and machinery. Our team handles mechanical, diesel, electrical and air-conditioning work. The Calliope workshop is our main base. Our mobile units also carry out suitable work on site. This page explains our trades, tools and approach.
Multiple trade disciplines in house
Led by technicians with 25+ years' experience
Workshop-first with mobile support
Capability across connected vehicle systems
One fault can affect several parts of a vehicle. It may involve both moving parts and wiring. Our mechanics and auto electrician work together to find the cause and plan the repair.
Advanced vehicle diagnostics
We check warning lights, engine controls and fault codes. We also test CAN bus networks and faults that come and go. Testing helps us find the cause before we recommend a repair.
Auto electrical and electronic systems
Our auto electrician checks batteries, starters, charging, wiring, sensors and control modules. We also work on lights and accessories. Circuit tests help show how an electrical fault affects the vehicle.
Vehicle air conditioning
We service and repair air conditioning in cars and heavy vehicles. Our trained team checks the system and its cooling performance. Refrigerant work follows the rules that apply to vehicle air conditioning.
Truck, trailer and fleet support
We service trucks and trailers and help plan fleet maintenance. We also assess breakdowns. Tell us how the vehicle is used and which work is most urgent.
Plant and specialist equipment
We also work on suitable mobile plant, small engines and other equipment. Our trades and field experience guide the work. Tell us the machine and fault so we can confirm what we can do.
One operation, with the right setting for the work
Calliope is the technical base
Our Calliope workshop has diagnostic equipment and specialist tools. It supports servicing, fault finding and major repairs. Jobs that need lifting, stable access or controlled testing can be booked here.
Our team works on cars, trucks, diesel engines and electrical systems. When a fault involves more than one system, we discuss the findings together. That helps us plan the work around the cause.
Mobile capability extends the workshop
Our breakdown ute is set up for urgent callouts. Our fully equipped mobile workshop carries tools, oils and fluids for planned servicing and on-site repairs and can stay for up to a week. See our mobile workshop and breakdown service for 24/7 availability, coverage and visit arrangements.
Some repairs need more space, lifting or parts removal. We can plan those jobs for the workshop. Other work may suit a mobile visit. We choose the setting that fits the job.
Trade and mechanical qualifications
Our qualification base includes Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology, supporting trucks and heavy vehicles, and Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology, supporting cars and 4WDs. These trades underpin servicing, diagnosis and repair across the main vehicle types we support.
Mobile Plant Mechanical Technology supports plant and specialist equipment, while Outdoor Power Equipment Technology supports small engines and auxiliary equipment. The work is matched to the machine and the relevant trade capability when the booking is discussed.
Electrical, air-conditioning and service qualifications
Automotive Electrical Technology supports in-house diagnosis and repair of modern vehicle electrical and electronic systems, including sensors, control modules and communication networks. It complements the mechanical trades when an operating fault has both physical and electrical causes.
Automotive Air Conditioning Technology supports diagnosis, servicing and repair of vehicle climate systems, with refrigerant handling subject to the applicable Australian requirements. Automotive Sales and Service Operations supports customer communication and the organisation of private, commercial and fleet work.
Experience across the workshop and the field
Our senior technicians have more than 25 years of industry experience. Their work covers car repairs, diesel engines, heavy vehicles, electrical faults, fleets and field service.
We bring the right trade skills to each job. Regular work on cars, trucks, diesel engines and fleets builds that practical knowledge. The vehicle and fault guide who handles the work.
Diagnosis is a service in its own right
We start by asking what happened and when. We inspect the vehicle, read its fault data and carry out the tests it needs. We check the cause before recommending major work.
We explain the findings and the work that needs attention. We also tell you if more tests are needed. After approved repairs, we check the result. Fleet work is planned around safety, vehicle condition and downtime.
Match the job to the capability it needs
Tell us the vehicle or machine, the fault and its location. Mention recent repairs and whether it can be moved safely. Those details help us choose the right tools and plan a workshop or mobile booking.
For fleet work, tell us which vehicles need attention and how they are used. We can discuss routine servicing, fault checks and larger repairs. We agree the work to be booked.

Capability questions
Are mechanical and electrical services available in house?
Yes. Our mechanics and qualified auto electrician work in the same business. We also have diesel and air-conditioning skills. That lets us check faults that affect several systems.
Do you support both light and heavy vehicles?
Yes. Our trades include Light Vehicle and Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology. We work on cars, 4WDs, trucks, trailers and fleets.
Is advanced diagnosis a separate service?
Yes. We test engine controls, wiring networks and faults that come and go. We check the cause before recommending the repair.
Can I book work on plant or small engines?
Our trades include Mobile Plant and Outdoor Power Equipment Technology. Call with the machine and work needed. We can then confirm the right checks and repair plan.
Where does workshop work take place?
Our main workshop is at 6 Wright Road, Calliope QLD 4680. Our mobile units also carry out suitable servicing, fault checks and breakdown repairs.
