What we do

Log book servicing at Artarmon Mechanical Repairs follows your manufacturer's schedule exactly, keeps your new-car warranty intact, and costs you less than the dealership run-around. The workshop on Reserve Rd services all makes and models — Japanese, Korean, European and Australian — and has been doing it for 25 years, with customers coming back car after car: one reviewer brought the family's second car in after the first ran “much better than before” following their servicing. Before any work starts you get a clear price, and if the inspection turns up something unexpected, Paul explains what it is, why it matters, and what it costs — nothing happens without your approval. It's the transparency reviewers mention most: “honest pricing, great customer service and good mechanical work.” Based at 77 Reserve Rd, Artarmon, a short walk from Brickfield's coffee — drop the car, walk to work or grab a flat white, and it's usually ready the same day.

• Warranty-safe servicing to the manufacturer's schedule
• Clear price before work starts
• All makes and models, including European
• Same-day turnaround in most cases
• Walk to Brickfield's coffee while you wait

Need a pink slip for your rego renewal? Artarmon Mechanical Repairs is an authorised eSafety Check station, and the reviews say it all: one customer called about an urgent pink slip, was told to bring the car in later that day, and “it was all sorted in 30 mins”; another calls Paul a “top bloke, no mess around pink slip.” A pink slip (eSafety Check) is the annual inspection most NSW cars over five years old need before registration renewal — the workshop checks brakes, tyres, lights, steering, suspension and body condition, and if the car passes, the result goes straight to Service NSW electronically so you can renew immediately. If something needs attention, you'll get a straight explanation and a price before any repair work begins — no surprises. Based at 77 Reserve Rd, Artarmon, open Monday to Friday 7:30 am–5:30 pm and Saturday 8 am–1 pm. Call (02) 9437 1316 and ask for the next gap.

• Often done within 30 minutes
• Same-day appointments common
• Results lodged electronically with Service NSW
• Straight answers and a price before any repairs
• Saturday mornings available

When the engine light comes on or the car starts behaving oddly, Artarmon Mechanical Repairs finds the actual fault before replacing any parts. Modern cars run dozens of sensors and control modules, and guessing is what makes repairs expensive — the workshop reads the codes, tests the suspect components, and confirms the cause first. Reviewers describe exactly that: Paul “explained clearly what the issue with the engine light was” for one driver; another's car “completely died” after another shop charged for work that wasn't needed — Paul's team diagnosed it properly and gave her back “a car he was 100% confident with”. From overheating engines to intermittent electrical gremlins, you'll get a plain-English explanation, a clear price, and updates while the work happens. Based at 77 Reserve Rd, Artarmon — call (02) 9437 1316.

• Fault confirmed before parts are replaced
• Plain-English explanation of what's wrong
• Clear price before work starts
• Kept updated the whole time
• Reviewer-proven rescue after other shops failed

Squealing brakes, a slipping clutch or a car that floats over bumps are safety issues, not just annoyances. Artarmon Mechanical Repairs has been listed under Brake & Clutch Services with Yellow Pages for over a decade, and the workshop handles pads, rotors, hydraulics, clutch kits, shocks, struts, bushes and steering components on all makes and models. The approach is the same one reviewers keep praising: a proper inspection first, a clear quote before any work begins, and honest advice about what can safely wait — the opposite of being sold parts you don't need. If extra wear shows up mid-job, Paul calls with the options before going further. Based at 77 Reserve Rd, Artarmon, serving the lower North Shore — most brake and suspension jobs are turned around the same day. Call (02) 9437 1316 to describe the symptom and book an inspection.

• Proper diagnosis before any parts are replaced
• Clear quote first, no surprise extras
• All makes and models
• Most jobs done same day
• 25 years of brake and clutch work

A used car can look perfect and hide thousands of dollars of problems. Artarmon Mechanical Repairs' pre-purchase inspections give you an experienced mechanic's verdict before you hand over the money: engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, tyres, electronics, signs of accident repair, and the maintenance it's likely to need next. One recent reviewer drove 56 kilometres to have Paul inspect the right car and get “the advice I need before I buy” — and left saying he trusts his judgement. You'll get a plain-English rundown of what's wrong, what's wearing, what it should cost to fix, and whether the asking price makes sense — ammunition to negotiate, or a clear reason to walk away. Based at 77 Reserve Rd, Artarmon, open six days. Call (02) 9437 1316 to book the inspection before you exchange — same-week slots are common.

• Full mechanical check before you commit
• Plain-English verdict on condition and value
• Negotiation ammunition — or a reason to walk away
• Trusted enough to drive 56 km for
• Same-week bookings common

European cars need a mechanic who respects what they are without charging dealership prices. Artarmon Mechanical Repairs services European makes — BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo and more — alongside Japanese, Korean and Australian vehicles, and European owners are among the workshop's repeat customers: one reviewer returns annually and says his European car “drives great again” every time. The workshop follows manufacturer schedules for log book servicing (warranty-safe), handles the diagnostics European electronics demand, and gives you the same straight talk regardless of the badge: what's due, what's not, and what can safely wait. Based at 77 Reserve Rd, Artarmon, and looking after drivers across Artarmon, Lane Cove, Chatswood, Willoughby, St Leonards and the lower North Shore for 25 years. Call (02) 9437 1316 to book.
