Choose a guide for your vehicle
Cars and 4WDs
Explore logbook servicing, brakes, steering, suspension, cooling and transmission work. Tell us the make, model, kilometres and any faults you have noticed. Mention towing, work use or changes to the vehicle when discussing a service or repair.
Trucks and trailers
Our truck guides cover servicing, diesel faults, brakes, cooling, electrical work and semi-trailer repairs. Engine hours, loads and operating conditions can help us plan the work. Tell us whether the truck runs and where it is located.
Caravans and motorhomes
Read about mechanical servicing, brakes, bearings, 12V wiring and touring-power systems. Planned caravan work is booked through our Calliope workshop and dedicated yard. Bring details of the caravan, tow vehicle and any gear already fitted.
Warning lights and electrical faults
A warning light or fault code gives us a starting point. Tests help find the cause before parts are recommended. Note when the fault appears, which messages are shown and whether a restart changes it. Mention recent battery, wiring or accessory work.
Electrical repairs and fault finding
Diesel engines and cooling
Hard starting, lost power, smoke and overheating can involve several systems. Tell us when the problem occurs and whether the vehicle is towing or carrying a load. Our guides explain the checks and repair work available through the team.

Mobile workshop and breakdown support
