Your Petersham mechanic is a short drive east

The distance and the direct route

Drive north on Crystal Street until you reach Parramatta Road. Turn right and travel east for about 1.3 km. Along this section you pass the Annandale Hotel, followed by the traffic lights at Bridge Road. Turn left into Mathieson Street before reaching the Pyrmont Bridge Road lights.

That route is about 2.3 km altogether. Look for 208 Parramatta Road, Annandale, then use Mathieson Street for vehicle access.

Getting back to Petersham after drop-off

Once the keys are with us, the nearest useful bus stops are by the Annandale Hotel. They sit about 200 metres west along Parramatta Road. Services there include the 480 and 483, so you can head home and come back when the car is ready.

If a job needs diagnosis before it can be priced, leave the best number for the day. We will explain what testing found and obtain approval before the repair proceeds.

Mechanical work available here

We provide diagnostic testing, air conditioning repairs, scheduled logbook servicing and brake, steering and suspension work. A due registration inspection can be handled through our pink slip service.

Other workshop areas include clutches and transmissions, battery and tyre work, and servicing for European vehicles. Owners can also book 4WD maintenance or ask about suitable care for hybrid and electric cars.

Petersham driving and car care

Stop-start runs along Parramatta Road work the brakes hard, and short errands give the battery little time to recharge. Ring us if the engine turns over slowly in the morning or the brake pedal starts to feel different. The noise, smell and leak guide helps you record a symptom before it disappears.

Use our guide to maintenance you might miss to find items outside a basic oil change. The car care guide sets out monthly checks for fluids, lights and tyres, and the road-trip checklist covers the week before you leave Sydney.
