Southwest Automotive - European Specialists

Southwest Automotive is a European car specialist and general workshop in Campbelltown

​

Southwest Automotive is a locally owned family business at Unit 1, 12 Watsford Road, Campbelltown, New South Wales, in the Macarthur region of south west Sydney. The workshop has been servicing the district for more than three decades. They specialise in European makes and also service and repair everything from older classics through to the latest models, covering logbook servicing, registration inspections, brakes, suspension, auto electrical, air conditioning and engine work.

​

Which European makes do they work on?

​

Southwest Automotive is set up for European vehicles including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Peugeot, Citroen, Renault and Jaguar. The workshop keeps its scan tools, diagnostic computers and engine tuning equipment current, which is what these makes require when a fault sits in the electronics rather than the mechanicals. That same equipment is used across the rest of the workload, so Japanese, Australian and other makes are handled with the same diagnostic depth.

​

What servicing is available in Campbelltown?

​

Logbook servicing is carried out to the manufacturer schedule on both new and used vehicles, so a factory warranty is protected. General servicing is available for vehicles past their warranty period. The workshop also carries out pink slip eSafety check inspections and blue slip inspections for registration, along with pre purchase and post purchase inspections for people buying or checking over a vehicle.

​

What repairs does the workshop take on?

​

Brake work is a regular part of the job, from pads, rotors and drums through to brake hydraulics. The team also handles clutches, suspension and steering, batteries, cooling systems, engine repairs and diagnostic scanning where a warning light or driveability complaint needs tracing. Auto electrical work and car air conditioning are both done in house, including full air conditioning recharge and repair.

​

Do they look after fleet and business vehicles?

​

Work vehicles and small business fleets are serviced alongside private cars, with logbook servicing, inspections and repairs kept to schedule so vehicles are off the road for as little time as possible.

​

What facilities does the Watsford Road workshop have?

​

The workshop sits about a five minute walk from Campbelltown station, which suits customers leaving a vehicle for the day, and there is an out of hours drop off box for keys. Alongside the everyday work, the team also takes on motorsport and project vehicle builds.

Southwest Automotive brings European specialist knowledge and full workshop servicing to drivers across Campbelltown and the Macarthur region.
