The workshop

The mechanic
your whole family
ends up using.

Ballina Mechanical and LPG is run by Gavin, a mechanic with more than 20 years in the trade and a reputation around town that speaks for itself. Read the reviews: the same words keep coming up. Honest. Fair. Finds the problem, even the mystery ones.

The workshop on Piper Drive has its own diagnostic testing station, premium parts from suppliers the trade actually trusts, and a team trained to do the job properly the first time.

The LPG specialists

Still running
on gas?
So are we.

Genuine LPG expertise is getting hard to find. Most workshops won't touch a gas system any more. We install them, repair them and keep them running, and we've been doing it for decades.

  • LPG installation and repairs
  • Gas system servicing and tuning
  • Identity and design checks
  • Defect notice clearance
What we do

Everything your
car needs.

One workshop for the lot, from the regular service to the rego inspection to the weird noise nobody else can find.

01

Servicing & Repairs

Full vehicle servicing and mechanical repairs for cars and light vehicles, done with premium oils, filters and parts.

02

Logbook Servicing

Manufacturer-spec logbook services that keep your new car warranty intact without the dealership price tag.

03

Rego Inspections

Pink slips and registration inspections done quickly, honestly, and usually with same-week bookings.

04

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Buying a car is a big investment. We go over it top to bottom before you hand over a cent, so there are no surprises.

05

Diagnostic Testing

Our own in-house diagnostic station reads your engine control unit, finds the fault and reprograms your motor to run more efficiently.

06

Brakes, Clutch & Suspension

Bendix brake systems, Clutch Industries clutches and Nolathane suspension, supplied and fitted by people who know them.
