Family cars, 4WDs, utes, vans, hybrids. We service every brand to manufacturer spec, regardless of where you bought it.
Genuine or matched-spec parts, fluids and filters. Every service is performed to the schedule your manufacturer requires.
Your logbook is stamped, dated and signed by a qualified mechanic so your service history stays unbroken.
Why service with us
Under Australian Consumer Law, independent servicing does not void your new-car warranty as long as the work meets manufacturer spec. That is what we do, and we stamp the book to prove it.
Same job, same standard, no dealership overhead. Most logbook services come in well under the dealer price for the equivalent work.
You deal with the person doing the work, not a service writer. Five years in Benalla, and we plan on being here for a lot more.
We collect your car from home or work anywhere across Benalla and drop it back when it is done. No day off, no rearranging life around a service.
What we check
Every service follows the manufacturer schedule, plus the safety checks any good workshop should do anyway.

A few words from Benalla locals and engine customers. Snippets shown, read the full ones on Google.
After a bad experience with a previous engine builder, I was reluctant to trust anyone else. After talking with Matt, Chantelle and Jett it was obvious my engine was in good hands. A few weeks later, my V8 was back to me all sorted and running a treat.

The team at Benalla Engine Reconditioning helped get my 4x4 back on the road at short notice after a sudden breakdown left me stranded. The owners and mechanics are an absolute asset to the local community. I cannot thank them enough for the professionalism, work and support they provided.

About us
We’re Matt and Chantelle, and we took this place on more than five years ago.
We started small, with a willingness to graft and a belief we could do it better. Long days. Working things out as we went. Keeping the doors open one week at a time.
That work ethic still runs the place. Every engine, every service, every job gets the same attention to detail. We do the job right, and we stand behind it.
What we’re most proud of is the customers who keep coming back, the locals who send their mates our way, and the workshops that trust us with their engines. That backing is what built this business.
Five years in. Just getting started.

The workshop
Family-run, locally owned, set up for the long jobs. Bring the vehicle in, ship the engine across, or send us a message and we will work out the simplest way forward.
FAQ
Anything we have not covered, give us a call and we will sort it.
No. Under Australian Consumer Law, you can service your new car at any qualified independent workshop without voiding the manufacturer warranty, as long as the work is done to the manufacturer schedule with the right parts and fluids. We service to spec and stamp your logbook to record it.
