A Lewisham mechanic option, about 3.3 km away

Distance and directions from Lewisham

Cross to Crystal Street using the streets north of Lewisham station. Follow Crystal Street to Parramatta Road and turn right. Continue east for about 1.3 km, going past the Annandale Hotel and the Bridge Road lights, then turn left into Mathieson Street.

The complete route is about 3.3 km. Mathieson Street comes just before the signalised Pyrmont Bridge Road intersection. Although our postal address is 208 Parramatta Road, Annandale, cars enter from Mathieson Street at the corner.

Going home while we have the car

For a bus, walk roughly 200 metres west to the Annandale Hotel stops. Parramatta Road routes include the 480 and 483. Stanmore station is another option and is about a 20-minute walk from the workshop, which can suit someone heading back towards Lewisham by train.

Ask about the expected finish when you hand over the keys. Some faults can be quoted straight away, while others need inspection and testing before the right repair can be confirmed.

Servicing, inspections and repairs

You can combine a pink slip inspection with logbook maintenance. We also handle tyres and batteries, fault diagnostics, and gearbox, transmission and clutch work.

Book us for brakes and suspension or an air conditioning problem. We also work on hybrid and electric vehicles, European cars and four-wheel drives.

Using a car around Lewisham

Short runs, station drop-offs and parallel parking are hard on tyres and steering. After a kerb strike, look at the tyre sidewall for a bulge or cut and see whether the steering wheel still sits straight. When a new sound appears, note whether it changes with speed, braking or engine load, then compare it with our symptom guide.

The practical car care page explains regular owner checks. For less obvious service items, read maintenance people may overlook. If the next drive goes beyond local streets, start with the long-distance preparation list.
