Loan Cars

Drop your car with us and keep moving in one of ours. Charges apply and loan cars are subject to availability, so it pays to book ahead.

Nobody wants their car stuck at the mechanic while they're stuck at home. When you book your car in for a service or repair at our Epping workshop, ask us about a loan car and we'll do our best to sort you one, so you're not left without wheels. Drop your keys with us, grab the loan car keys, and get on with your day: work, school pick-up, footy training, whatever's on, sorted.

We only run a small fleet of loan cars, so charges apply and they're subject to availability. The earlier you flag it when booking, the better chance we've got of holding one for you.

Nominal fee. No hidden catch.

Plenty of workshops advertise "free" loan cars, then quietly load the cost into the invoice, an inflated insurance excess, or an "admin fee" you don't see coming. We'd rather just tell you upfront: our loan car fee is a small, nominal charge, quoted before you book, so there's nothing hiding on the bill.

How It Works

1

Book Your Service

Book your car in online or give us a call, and let us know you'd like a loan car.

2

We Confirm Availability

Loan cars are limited, so we'll confirm one's free for your dates before you drop in.

3

Drop Off & Swap Keys

Bring a valid licence, drop your car at Epping, and we'll walk through the loan car's condition together.

4

Get On With Your Day

Take the loan car and carry on. We'll give you a bell when your car's ready to swap back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do loan cars cost extra?

Yes, a nominal charge applies for loan car hire. We quote it upfront when you book, unlike places that advertise a "free" loan car and then bury the cost in the invoice or excess. No surprises on the bill.

Are loan cars always available?

No, loan cars are subject to availability. We only run a small fleet, so it's best to book ahead, especially during busy periods, to make sure one's free.

What do I need to bring to get a loan car?

A current, valid driver's licence. We'll run through a quick condition check of the loan car together before you drive off.

Can I get a loan car with a mobile mechanic booking?

Loan cars are available for jobs booked in at our Epping workshop. If one of our mobile mechanics comes to you, your car never leaves your driveway, so a loan car isn't needed.

How do I book a loan car?

Just mention it when you book your service online or over the phone, and we'll sort a loan car for your drop-off, subject to availability.
