Services
When something is not quite right with your vehicle, experience has shown that it can be put down to a few common - and sometimes not-so-common reasons. Our customers trust us to know exactly what those reasons are. We can diagnose and repair any fault in almost all makes and models of cars and four wheel drive vehicle electrical systems - both petrol and diesel, including auto electrical problems.
You probably know you should get your car serviced. But is it really necessary to get it done? Is it just a money making exercise for mechanics? And it's a reasonable question. Especially if you don't know why you're paying for something you don't think you really need. Your manufacturer logbook specifies when a service is due.
A dirty fuel injection system in both petrol and diesel engines or worn spark plugs in petrol engines can dramatically reduce your engines power and economy, we can service your fuel system on the car with our BG Products specialty tooling and chemicals in both petrol and diesel powered engines.
Carbon build up in your air intake system can drag down your engine's performance - cleaning out your EGR system and intake manifold with our professional BG Products on car carbon cleaning system will make a huge difference to both power and fuel economy!The ECU (Engine Control Unit) of a vehicle controls how the engine management system works.

But these problems which are so tempting to ignore, are only the start of more serious problems - if you don't get them sorted out asap. Likely cause and solution: Your engine could be low on oil, or your oil pick up could be sludges up due to poor servicing, a simple check can save thousands of $$$.
Getting your steering and suspension worked on by professional mechanics can make your ride look better and get better ground clearance. Towing can be done with much more control and power. But before going ahead with the lift, it's natural to worry about what affect it will have on your truck afterwards.

The team at Lowes Auto are amazing. There is not a high enough amount of stars I could give the team on this review.
Their customer service, honesty and car knowledge is very handy and exceptional.
I had a mechanic in Warrnambool incorrectly fit my tail-shaft center bearing. They had destroyed my tail shaft and upon returning had quoted me for a total replacing of the T/S without labor costs as it was a "common problem" they had encountered at their shop. I was very disappointed and skeptical of this quote and customer service, so I eventually got in to Lowes to discuss what can be done and gain

Hands down, the best mechanics I have been to in Australia! When my matting fell from under my car, I called them at 8am on a Saturday and despite the team being understaffed for the day, they offered to fix it immediately for me. I then booked in my car to be serviced that was due at the time of the call, Tim explained that they were fully booked for 3 weeks in advance but for me to drop in for him to check over my car, to ensure it was still safe to drive meantime. This kind of service is unheard of!
I 110% recommend and will only be dealing with Tim and the team in the future for all my vehicle

After reading all the reviews on this place I could not sleep.I was so excited to take my 4WD there and get some work done. I spent $500 with them and walked out pretty unhappy with what was done.
They fix the problem which was a $20 piece of hose which had cracked from the intercooler. They told me an original one would be $180. We also spoke about putting a turbo enhancer for more power which did absolutely nothing to the 4x4 for $110 plus labour
And putting some diesel enhancement into the petrol tank $55 which I really don't know if it was done.
So I guess the rest went into labour to make

The staff at Lowes are great. They were able to fit me in before Christmas when everyone else was saying mid January. While they are not local for me, I will go out of my way to plan my services for when I am in the area so I can go back to these guys. Friendly service, very helpful with problems, and very fair with prices.

As a female I generally feel a bit intimidated by going to a mechanic, but the experience at Lowes was fantastic!!
From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted by warm friendly faces, and made to feel comfortable and I knew I could trust these guys.
They contacted me every step of the way through the repairs of my car to discuss the issues and costs involved.
I can’t thank Tim and his staff enough for their excellent service and professionalism!
If you’re looking for honest, friendly, good old fashioned customer service, then Lowe’s is the place to go! 10 out of 10!!
