Car Servicing and Repairs in Graceville
Most Graceville drivers who ring us after an accident have been given a repairer by their insurer and assume that is the end of it. In most cases it is not. You are generally entitled to choose your own repairer, and choosing one that also does the mechanical work means the car is not handed around. We are at 2 Baldock St, Moorooka, a short drive along the Oxley Road corridor. Full service from $330.
After a knock, you choose the repairer
Panel and mechanical
under the same roof.
A car that has been in a knock usually needs more than panel work — alignment checks, radiator support, mechanical items disturbed by the impact. Having both trades in one building means those things are not discovered after the panel work is done and you have already collected the car.
We handle everything from a collision damage assessment through to full structural repair and mechanical work, and we deal with all major Australian insurers including the assessor and the paperwork.
Older streets, older cars
The pocket through Graceville has a lot of long-held family cars. Rubber and fluids age regardless of distance. Perished hoses, tired suspension bushes and brake fluid that has absorbed moisture are all time problems, not distance problems.
Cars near the river
Parts of Graceville sit low near the river. A car that has sat in water develops electrical faults long after the event. If something intermittent has started and nobody can pin it down, water history is worth mentioning when you book.
Straight answers on price
Oil and filter from $149. Full service from $330. Everything else gets quoted before we start, and no work happens without your approval. No extras added at the counter without a call first.
Windscreen chips
A chip caught early is usually repairable rather than a replacement. In Queensland it is also a safety certificate item, so it is worth dealing with before a sale or transfer.

Common questions
FAQ — Graceville
My insurer told me to use their repairer. Do I have to?
In most cases, no. You are generally entitled to choose your own repairer. Ring us with the claim details and we will tell you where you stand before you commit to anything.
How do I get to you from Graceville?
Follow the Oxley Road corridor southeast toward Ipswich Road and into Moorooka. We are at 2 Baldock St. Graceville East is the same run.
My car is old but barely driven. Does it still need servicing every year?
Yes. Oil degrades with time as well as use, brake fluid absorbs moisture, and rubber hoses and bushes perish sitting still. Low-kilometre cars in this area often need more attention than the odometer suggests, not less.
Can you do the panel work and the mechanical repairs together?
That is the point of having both in one building. One booking, one place to collect the car, and nothing falls between two businesses.
Do you repair windscreen chips?
Yes. A chip caught early is usually repairable, while a crack that has run across the driver's view generally means replacement, and it is a safety certificate item either way.
What does a full service cost?
From $330. Oil and filter only starts at $149. Anything the inspection turns up gets quoted separately and you decide.
Do you do roadworthy certificates?
Yes, on site, and we can repair failures without you needing a second booking somewhere else.
Do you work on European cars?
Yes, and on diesel, 4WD, fleet, commercial, hybrid and electric vehicles.
How long will a smash repair take?
It depends on the damage and on parts availability, and we will give you a realistic estimate rather than an optimistic one once we have assessed the car.
