Local mechanics,
no runaround

Southern Auto Service has been operating out of Glenorchy since 2008. We're a family-owned workshop — not a franchise, not a chain — and we've built this place on straightforward work and honest pricing.

When you bring your car in, you speak directly to the mechanic working on it. Not a service adviser, not someone reading from a screen. The person lifting your bonnet is the person who'll explain what they found.

We'll tell you what's wrong and what it'll cost before we touch anything. If it doesn't need fixing yet, we'll say so. We'd rather you come back because you trust us than because we kept you coming back.

Why our customers stay

Three things mechanics get wrong. We built this place around getting them right.

01

You'll know the price upfront

No surprises on the bill. Before we start any job, we tell you what it'll cost. If something unexpected comes up mid-job, we call you — we don't just do it and add it to the invoice.

02

Done when we say it will be

We know you need your car back. We give realistic timeframes and we stick to them. If something changes, you'll hear from us before the end of the day — not when you come to pick it up.

03

We explain what's actually wrong

No jargon, no scare tactics. When we find a problem, we'll show you what we found, tell you what it means, and let you make the call. You're never pressured into a repair you're not sure about.

What our customers say

Real reviews from Hobart drivers.

Took my Hilux in for a service and they found a brake issue I didn't even know about. Fixed same day, price was exactly what they quoted. No drama, no extra charges. Will definitely be back.

Marcus T. — Kingston

I've been taking my cars to Southern Auto for about four years now. They've never tried to sell me anything I didn't need, and they always call before doing extra work. Refreshing, honestly.

Debra W. — Moonah

Came in for a roadworthy and they were done in just over an hour. Gave me a rundown of a few things to keep an eye on, no pressure. Passed first go. Easy to deal with, reasonably priced.
