ATS Automotive Services

Automatic transmission specialists and general car servicing in central Hobart

​

ATS Automotive Services is a family owned and operated workshop at 319 Liverpool Street, Hobart, Tasmania, best known for automatic and manual transmission work and also handling the full run of servicing and mechanical repairs. The workshop is part of the Repco Authorised Service network, and its technicians work across all makes, model years and ages of vehicle, from near new cars still on their logbook schedule through to older vehicles needing repair work.

​

What does their transmission work involve?

​

Transmissions are the specialty. Automatic and manual gearboxes are serviced, diagnosed, repaired and fully overhauled at the workshop, and the team can also work through performance related upgrades on a transmission. Because transmission faults often show up as something else, diagnostic time goes into confirming what is actually happening before any parts come off the vehicle.

​

What other servicing and repairs do they handle?

​

Logbook and new car servicing, tune ups and engine tuning are everyday work, along with brake and clutch repairs, disc machining, steering and suspension repairs and shock absorber replacement. They service and repair air conditioning, including regas and leak inspection, look after cooling systems, and run electronic fuel injection service and diagnosis on a dedicated EFI test bench. Tyres are sold and fitted, and wheel alignments are done in house.

​

Can they carry out vehicle inspections?

​

Yes. ATS Automotive Services operates as an Approved Inspection Station and an Authorised Vehicle Inspection Station, so a vehicle can be inspected and certified against Tasmanian requirements at the workshop, with any repairs needed to pass completed by the same mechanics.

​

What can a customer expect when they leave the car?

​

The team works on the basis that nothing extra happens without the owner's say so. If something turns up during a service, they explain how urgent it is and what the options are, then let the owner decide. Pick up and delivery is available locally, loan cars can be arranged, and a car can be washed and vacuumed after a service on request. For those who wait, there is a lounge with tea and coffee and a designated area where the work on the vehicle can be watched.

​

How do they support work vehicles and fleets?

​

Business vehicles and small fleets are looked after with the same servicing, transmission work, inspections and repairs, and the local pick up and delivery and loan car options help when a work vehicle cannot simply sit at a workshop for the day. Parts and workmanship are covered by the network warranty that applies through Repco Authorised Service, which is useful for vehicles travelling outside Hobart.

​

For Hobart drivers and businesses, ATS Automotive Services combines deep transmission knowledge with everyday servicing, inspections and repairs in the one workshop.
