Coastal Car Connections

Coastal Car Connections is a family owned mechanical workshop in Erina on the Central Coast

​

Coastal Car Connections is a family owned and operated automotive workshop at 18 Bonnal Road, Erina, New South Wales, in the middle of the Central Coast. The workshop handles mechanical repairs and servicing across a wide range of makes and models, taking in new vehicle handbook servicing, general servicing, fuel injection work, computer diagnostics, brake and suspension repairs and registration inspections. Quality workmanship and a professional approach to servicing are what the business puts its name to.

​

What is included in a service?

​

A service at Coastal Car Connections is a full lubrication service, with engine oil and oil filter replaced and fuel filters, air filters and spark plugs changed where the vehicle needs them. Along with that the team inspects the brakes, balances wheels, checks the underbody and exhaust system, assesses steering, suspension and tyres, and tops up fluid levels. Both minor and major services follow the same approach, and customers are given a detailed invoice setting out the work carried out and any notes on the vehicle.

​

What new car servicing do they offer?

​

New vehicle handbook servicing is carried out to the manufacturer's schedule, so a car still inside its warranty period stays covered while being serviced by an independent workshop. Owners are told what has been done and what is coming up, so servicing can be planned rather than reacted to.

​

What repairs and diagnostics are available in Erina?

​

The workshop takes on brake repairs, steering and suspension work and fuel injection servicing, and uses scan tool diagnostics to trace faults, warning lights and running problems on later model vehicles. Mechanical repairs across engine, cooling and driveline systems are handled in the same workshop.

​

Can they do pink slip inspections?

​

Coastal Car Connections carries out registration inspections and issues pink slips, with results processed online through the Roads and Maritime system so the registration can be renewed without a separate trip. Any repairs the inspection identifies can be dealt with at the same workshop.

​

Do they look after work and fleet vehicles?

​

Business vehicles and small fleets are serviced alongside private cars, with the same servicing, inspection and repair work available for utes and vans used for work around the Central Coast.

​

What else do they provide for customers?

​

A courtesy car is available free of charge for local use, and the workshop offers a drop off and pick up service within a limited area for customers who cannot get their vehicle in themselves.

Coastal Car Connections covers servicing, repairs, diagnostics and registration inspections for drivers around Erina and the Central Coast.
