Woden Automotive Services

Woden Automotive Services is a long established mechanical workshop in Phillip, Canberra

​

Woden Automotive Services is a locally owned mechanical workshop at 20 Grenville Court, Phillip, in the Woden Valley area of Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. They have been servicing and repairing vehicles from the same base since 1973, which gives them more than 50 years of continuous trade in the district, and they look after private cars alongside business and fleet vehicles for drivers across Canberra, including Woden, Mawson, Garran, Curtin and Deakin.

​

What car servicing is available in Phillip?

​

Logbook servicing is a mainstay of the workshop and is carried out to the manufacturer specification for each vehicle, which keeps a new car warranty valid while the car is maintained outside the dealer network. A service covers engine oil and filter changes, the scheduled item checks set out in the vehicle handbook and a safety inspection of the car as a whole. General mechanical servicing and repairs are handled for a wide range of makes and models, from small routine jobs through to larger mechanical work.

​

What repairs do the mechanics carry out?

​

Brake and clutch repair is a regular part of the workload, taking in pads, rotors, hydraulics and clutch replacement. They also work on steering and suspension, including shock absorbers, bushes, ball joints and steering components, and they service and repair car air conditioning so systems keep cooling properly through the Canberra summer. Everyday repairs such as cooling system work, belts, hoses, batteries and exhaust faults are all part of the general mechanical side.

​

How are faults diagnosed?

​

The workshop pairs traditional hands on mechanical work with current diagnostic equipment, and the team runs diagnostic testing to read fault codes and pinpoint electrical and engine management problems before parts are replaced. They invest in training and equipment so newer vehicles with more electronics can be worked on properly.

​

Do they service fleet and business vehicles?

​

Yes. Fleet and business vehicles are serviced and repaired alongside private cars, with logbook servicing, brake work, suspension repairs and diagnostics all available for company cars and light commercials. Businesses running vehicles around Canberra use them as a single workshop for scheduled servicing and unplanned repairs.

​

What can customers expect from Woden Automotive Services?

​

Customers deal directly with the mechanics working on the car and are given a clear explanation of what has been found and what it will take to fix. The workshop has served generations of Canberra families from the one location and puts weight on honest advice, straightforward communication and long term customer relationships.
