What we do most of

And a lot besides. If it is mechanical and it drives, it is worth a call.

Minor Service

Recommended every 5,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first. Price varies with the make, model, parts and the type of oil the engine needs. Commercial, 4X4, diesel and imported vehicles are no problem — the workshop runs up-to-date scan tools and the equipment these services need.

Major Service

Recommended every 20,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first. Price varies with the make, model, the parts required (spark plugs, filters and so on) and the type of oils used.

Log Book Servicing

Your new car's log book stamped and the service carried out to the manufacturer's schedule, at an independent workshop rather than the dealer. Your new vehicle warranty stays intact — under Australian consumer law a manufacturer cannot void it simply because the servicing was done elsewhere, provided the schedule is followed and quality parts are used.

4WD Servicing and Repairs

4WDs serviced and repaired properly, including diesels — from a LandCruiser that tows every weekend to a farm ute that never sees a sealed road.

Horse Float, Trailer and Caravan Servicing

Horse floats, box and car trailers, caravans and motorhomes serviced, repaired and roadworthy-tested. Bearings, brakes, couplings, suspension and lights. The workshop has the hoists and the room for them, which is why people tow from well outside the area.

VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Tester

Roadworthies, start to finish

J & L is a VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Tester, so a roadworthy inspection and the certificate itself are both done in-house at Ravenhall. Needed when you sell a vehicle, re-register one, or bring a car in from interstate. If the inspection turns up work, it is repaired here rather than sent elsewhere and re-booked.

What customers say

Nothing here yet — on purpose

We are not going to write our own reviews. Real ones from real customers go here as they come in.
