  • The "Check Engine" icon on your dash or instrument cluster can be stressful.

    But it doesn't have to be, using state of the art equipment and manufacturer specific diagnostic software we can test and repair any problem with your vehicle. This includes ABS, Airbag or any other warnings you may get!

  • Logbook Servicing
    We offer vehicle specific logbook servicing according to your car's manufacturer. Based on miles traveled or time idling or even just parked. We have a database with such information so you get every benefit of a dealer specific service without the headache. Different vehicles have different needs.

    Pre Purchase Inspections
    Even if you're buying from a used car dealer, if you're intending to purchase a second hand or used vehicle - get it checked! You may be buying someone else's problems. A pre-purchase inspection may save you thousands in repairs - and can also help with the negotiations.

    Extended Warranty Repairs
    If you have an extended warranty, either through purchase from a dealer or otherwise, we can communicate, quote and invoice through their desired channels. We have worked with companies such as: National, Suncorp, and More.

  • Engine Re-Builds
    Sometimes something catastrophic happens: engine failure due to a broken timing belt or chain, a piston or head gasket. Engines built at Daryl's Motors use the best parts and are machined and honed for a perfect rebuild every time. We also paint & protect engine blocks.

    Restoration
    This is our passion and we have rebuilt and restored countless beauties. We approach each with meticulous care, skill and knowledge.

  • Brake system checks, including fluid quality, can ensure the optimal performance of your brakes. Bad brake fluid or contamination can occur when service intervals are missed.

    Brake pads, rotors, wear sensors and brake drum/shoes systems are always checked in a vehicle service here at the shop.

    Brake service and replacements are advised on a case by case basis. If your:

    ⏤ Disc rotors are beyond their minimum thickness
    ⏤ Brake pads or shoes worn,
    ⏤ Leaking hydraulics
    ⏤ Calipers sticking or seized
    ⏤ Hoses cracked

    …or if you're unsure what your issue may be, come in for a check.

  • Checking the health of your battery & charging systems is a part of every Vehicle Service at our shop.

    We test the battery under load for dead cells and problems that may lead to a breakdown. Voltage draw from a starter motor or weak charge from a failed or failing alternator can leave you stranded.

    For electrical we provide a variety of services and repairs of electrical systems including wiring, control module replacements and coding.

  • Any problem with your suspension or steering will be expertly checked and diagnosed. We also offer restoration services for classic or vintage builds.

    ⏤ Bridgestone
    ⏤ BF Goodrich
    ⏤ Pirelli
    ⏤ Continental
    ⏤ Toyo
    ⏤ Kumho
    ⏤ and more.

    Worn or cracked, old or driven on flat, we supply, fit and balance tires. You can rest assure that you've got the best grip on the road.

    A proper wheel alignment can save you money: properly aligned wheels can keep steering and suspension components from premature wear, and can make or break your driving experience.

  • 4WD & Heavy Duty vehicles require extra attention and more frequent maintenance and repair.

    ⏤ Differential repairs
    ⏤ Replacements
    ⏤ Clutches
    ⏤ Diesel pumps and injectors repair and replacements.

    All things mechanical, 4X4 Heavy Duty repair requires an experienced technician and the right tools - we have both!

  • Manual transmission clutch and flywheel replacements, conversions or repair. Diagnosis of a bad clutch can be key if caught on your next service. If you're worried it might be going - get it checked. A test drive and some simple techniques can help provide some insight on the health of your clutch.

  • Transmissions - whether automatic or manual gearboxes - is about preventative maintenance. Changing the transmission oil with manufacturer recommended type and quantities, you can prevent costly repairs. If its too far damaged due to accident or wear, we offer replacements.

    We also repair or replace differentials, axels and bearings.
