Who looks after your car at Alphington Automotive?

​

Ben is a dedicated, passionate and experienced mechanic who has worked in the trade for over 10 years across Melbourne's northern suburbs, and in that time has gained real insight into what customers want and need from their local mechanic. Starting in the trade as early as he could, Ben has always had an obsession with cars, and he is well known in the industry as a hard worker who is dedicated to his customers. Alongside him, John Simitzis brings more than 40 years in the industry, having run his own engine specialist shop, and he knows the ins and outs of every car. John also loves to teach, so anyone who asks him what something means should be prepared for an in depth explanation.

​

What can customers expect at Alphington Automotive?

​

Every time a car comes in for a service, the team writes up a list of the repairs it needs now and in the near future, with clear priority ratings so owners know exactly what to expect. Their view is that honesty is the best policy, and their loyalty lies with what is best for the customer rather than what suits the workshop.

​

What logbook servicing is available in Alphington?

​

Their service plan keeps servicing up to date, with logbooks stamped and every repair the dealership recommends carried out at each interval using quality parts, so a vehicle still under warranty remains covered. Customers also receive a courtesy text message when a service is coming up. Oil and filter changes are available with a choice of synthetic and conventional oils, along with a full power steering and transmission fluid flush.

​

What brake, tyre and alignment work do they carry out?

​

Brakes are checked thoroughly for wear at every visit, with customers told the remaining thickness of their pads and disc rotors rather than simply being told they are fine. Wheel alignment and tyre rotation are also carried out, evening out tread wear, and tyres and batteries are supplied and fitted.

​

Can they help with a roadworthy check?

​

Roadworthy checks are available for anyone buying or selling a vehicle, with a written list of what needs to be done and a Roadworthy Certificate arranged. They also offer cash for cars for anyone looking to move on an older vehicle.
