Batteries and aircon on the southside
Short-trip driving hits
batteries hard.
A battery in a car that mostly does short suburban trips never fully recharges. Starting the engine draws a large amount of current, and a short drive does not replace it. Over months, the battery goes through repeated partial discharge cycles and loses capacity until one morning it will not turn over.
We test the battery and the charging system together. Sometimes it is the battery. Sometimes it is the alternator not charging properly. Sometimes there is a drain. Testing first means replacing the right part.
Mobile mechanic, Brisbane SouthsideAircon in south Brisbane summers
A car sitting in traffic on a hot day with the compressor running is the hardest test of an aircon system. Cooling that fades when stationary is usually a low refrigerant or condenser airflow problem. Both are fixable without a full system replacement.
Kessels to Moorooka
Kessels Road north to Mains Road, west on Mains, then down toward Ipswich Road and into Moorooka. The run is straightforward and you are at 2 Baldock St with parking on site.

Common questions
FAQ — Macgregor
Do you come out to Macgregor?
Yes. Our mobile service covers the Brisbane southside and Macgregor is within that area. For servicing, battery replacement, brakes and pre-purchase inspections we can come to you. Anything needing a hoist or panel work has to come in.
My battery keeps going flat. Do I need a new one?
Maybe. We test the battery first, then test the charging system, then check for a drain if both look acceptable. The battery is the most likely answer, but not the only one. Replacing it without finding a drain just means the new battery goes flat too.
My car feels sluggish in the heat. Is that normal?
It can be. Hot air is less dense than cool air, and some loss of performance in extreme heat is expected. But a car that is significantly worse in heat than in cooler weather might have a fuel delivery issue, a cooling problem or a failing sensor. Worth checking if it is noticeable.
Can you do a service while I work from home nearby?
Yes. Drop it off in the morning and we will call when it is done. For some jobs our mobile mechanic can come to you, which is even easier.
