Packard Automotive
Whether you know your car inside out or you're clueless under the bonnet, you'll always get straightforward honest advice from the mechanics at Packard Automotive. Jack Packard's love affair with engines began as a child. In 2015 he established Packard Automotive. As a mechanical engineer, qualified mechanic and vehicle enthusiast, he saw the need for trustworthy quality car servicing at a reasonable price.

We're a small, family owned workshop. We handle most services including. Our engineer can perform and assess a wide variety of vehicle modifications including engine swaps, suspension modifications, drive-line and chassis modifications etc. It's vital to have your brakes and clutch checked regularly, so we include it when we service your car.
Services
Jack's commitment to quality and integrity and enthusiasm for everything mechanical attracted a talented team of automotive mechanics. Aside from their technical prowess, they'll never recommend or do anything you don't need done. You can rely on their honest advice and great quality service. I've worked with engines and cars since I was a kid - Dad is a qualified mechanic and together we worked on farm equipment and vehicles.
We exceed manufacturers requirements on all our new car warranty checks. Our team has broad experience across all the major brands. We have long experience servicing the major brands and we understand the unique requirements of each vehicle manufacturer. We check everything as specified in the manufacturer's guidelines.
This car servicing checklist is found in virtually every vehicle's logbook. These are the standard service items that comprise a tune-up, service or whatever you like to call preventative maintenance. Replacing coolant before its boiling and freezing points change and before its anti-corrosive additives fade away.
If your steering wheel isn't straight or your tyres aren't wearing evenly, or if you've noticed a vibration or noise, you're probably due a wheel alignment. Correctly aligned wheels will ensure your tyres wear evenly and last longer, ultimately saving you money. You'll also notice a smoother ride on balanced tyres; modern vehicles are lighter and have harder suspension which means you feel more bumps and vibrations.
Tyre Width: This is the width of your tyre at its widest point measured in millimetres. Profile: This is the height of a tyre represented as a percentage of the width of the tyre. Rim Diameter: This is the diameter of the rim the tyre is designed to fit measured in inches. Load Index: This number represents how much weight each tyre can support.

They did a 10/10 job on my car, then they also did the pits check for me as well.
Car was re-registered that same day and couldn't be happier!

Very happy with the service and result with Packard. Had my 1974 BMW brake lines and boosters completely redone and the result was better routing than the factory spec. End price was very pleasing too. Thanks to jack and all the staff involved.
