Mechanic near Marayong

Andrew’s Mechanical is about as local as it gets for Marayong. The workshop at 3 Goulburn St sits on the Kings Park side of Marayong station, across the Richmond line from the Marayong shops. Marayong drivers come to us for pink slips, pre-purchase inspections on first cars, servicing, brakes, and help when something just doesn’t feel right on the drive home.

Getting to us from Marayong

From most of Marayong, make your way to Quakers Rd and head east to the railway at Marayong station. Cross the line onto Vardys Rd on the Kings Park side; Goulburn St is in the small pocket of streets right beside the station, near the Marayong Hotel. From around Marayong Park on Davis Rd or St Andrews College on Breakfast Rd, it is about 5 minutes outside peak.

If you are on the southern side of the suburb near Richmond Rd, the trip is a little longer depending on which way you come up. Because we are a few minutes’ walk from Marayong station, many locals simply walk home or catch the train from there. From the northern side of Marayong near Falmouth Rd, Quakers Rd brings you straight down to the station.

Common jobs for Marayong cars

• Pink slips and blue slips – Marayong has plenty of cars that are more than five years old, and those generally need a pink slip every year before rego can be renewed. We are an Authorised Inspection Station for pink slips and an AUVIS station for blue slips, needed when rego has been expired for over three months or a car comes from interstate.
• Pre-purchase inspections – With high schools nearby and plenty of young drivers, first cars bought privately are common. A pre-purchase inspection shows you the condition of the brakes, tyres, engine and body before you commit, so there are fewer surprises after the sale.
• Brakes and suspension – Local streets with roundabouts, speed humps and school zones, plus the run out to Richmond Rd and Sunnyholt Rd, all add wear to brakes, shocks and steering parts. If the car pulls, knocks over bumps or takes longer to stop, get it checked.
• Logbook and general servicing – Regular servicing is one of the simplest ways to avoid a breakdown on the way to work or school. We follow your manufacturer’s logbook schedule and explain what the car needs now and what can wait.
• Auto electrical – Flat batteries, slow starts and dashboard warning lights are common reasons to book an electrical check. We test the battery, alternator and starter and find the actual cause rather than guessing.
• LPG – If your car runs on gas, we handle LPG servicing, repairs and installation. Gas systems need periodic checks of their own, so let us know your car is on LPG when you book.
