I recently went to Marco for some advice and guidance in relation to my 80 series landcruiser. I want to modify a few things and add a few accessories. Marco and the team were so helpful and spent plenty of time with explaining the pros and cons of different options. Honesty and integrity in this business cannot be questioned. Marco has not always just fitted me in for an appointment last minute but has continued to be understanding and adaptable to my requests. Marco and the team are a family based business that make you feel like your part of the family not just a ordinary customer. Marco is such a professional and honest mechanic. I have been going to his workshop for the last 6 year. He always provides excellent advice & service and is very well priced. Marco's integrity is unquestionable. I would recommend Marco from A1 gas and mechanical service to any one that wants a peace of mind and professional, honest, excellent service. Marco has never let me down. Once again,Thank you Marco and the team for such great experience and your continuous efforts and support.

They know how to rip you off when you're in need.
I towed my Ford Falcon which had a minor gas problem here, Marco said this car has a serious gas system failure that needs at least 3 days to work on. I went home after 2 hours had a call from them saying you can pick up that car. it is fixed. He charged me $850 for a list of stuff that he had changed and repaired in two hours. I realized that moment I was ripped off badly. I took the car home and the next day the Gas meter had a fault, I called them and explained this to Marco, he actually didn't listen to me at all and hung up on me. Bottom line... they do not care about you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What indicators suggest a problem with the suspension system?
Here are a few signs that indicate a problem with the suspension system.
Continued Bouncing: The car continues to bounce after encountering bumps or dips when braking.
Pulling or Drifting: When you turn a corner, the car pulls or drifts to one side.
Uneven height: One side of the parked car is lower than the others.
Steering Difficulty: It gets tough to control.
Unusually Bumpy Rides: The ride seems unusually bumpy or rough.
What is the most typical problem with the suspension system?
The most common suspension system issue is worn out or damaged shock absorbers or struts. These components are critical for regulating impact and rebound when your vehicle travels across different surfaces. When they are worn out, you may notice continuous bouncing after hitting bumps, a harsh or bumpy ride, and difficulties handling and directing the car. Replace old shock absorbers or struts to ensure ride comfort, handling, and overall safety.
How much does repairing the suspension cost?
The cost of suspension repair depends on the amount of damage that has happened and the type of vehicle you drive. You can contact our mechanics on 0437 522 193 to get an estimate for the steering and suspension service.
How long does it take to fix a car's suspension?
The suspension repair time depends on the system’s complexity. Replacing a single set of struts or shocks can take between 2-3 hours. It will take even less time if it is an issue with just a spring or shock absorber.
What is the most prevalent problem with a steering system?
The most typical issue with a steering system is a lack of power steering fluid or a power steering leak. If not repaired promptly, this might cause steering difficulties and perhaps the failure of the power steering pump.
How can I determine if the steering is bad?
To tell if your steering is faulty, look for the following signs:
Difficulty Steering: If you find it difficult to turn the steering wheel, particularly at low speeds, this could suggest a problem with the power steering system.
Excessive vibration or shaking of the steering wheel, especially when the automobile is idling, may indicate a problem with the steering components.
Unusual Noises: When turning the steering wheel, you may hear squealing, whining, or clunking noises that signal a problem with the power steering fluid, pump, or another component.
Loose Steering: If the steering feels loose or there is excessive play in the steering wheel, it may suggest worn steering components.
Vehicle Pulling to One Side: If the vehicle pulls to one side when travelling straight, this could indicate alignment issues or steering system problems.
Fluid Leaks: Leaks under the car, especially reddish fluid, may indicate a power steering fluid leak.
Addressing these concerns as soon as possible is critical to ensuring your vehicle’s safety and handling.
