“The best auto repair shop I have been to in 50 years of motoring!! Always obliging, engaging and professional.”

“I highly recommend Westernport Automotive Services and have encouraged friends to go there. For the past 7 years they have always been professional, helpful and friendly in looking after my now aging Landcruiser. Initially they diagnosed and fixed complex problems that 4 prior companies were unable to address. Since then, they have kept my car running in top condition, at an affordable price. I'm very grateful for all the great work they have done for me.”

“I have been taking my car to Westernport Automotive Service for many years now and have always been very satisfied. The quality of work is excellent, the team are friendly and knowledgeable.
 Head down and see John for your next service you won’t be disappointed.”

“Very honest and reliable, could not fault this company, reminded me of the way garages were run in early days when customer service was no 1 priority, I found John to be very obliging and explained everything in detail that needed to be done to my grandson’s car, highly recommend for any work on any car.”

“The crew at Westernport Automotive are always happy to see you and talk to you. Never had to return for rework. As a former mechanic very happy with their customer relationship and the service they provide.”

“Thankyou John and your team at Westernport Automotive. If clarity on what's occurring is important to you then choose these guys. They provide a full diagnostic with photos and priorities assigned to different parts which makes me comfortable knowing nothing will get missed. Having looked at previous receipts for services and similar things from other mechanics I am also very happy with the price. For me, communication is vital with a mechanic and John is a fantastic communicator. They have done a great job on the Skoda and I have my Ranger in to get fixed next. Well done Western Port Automotive, I will definitely continue to use you in the future.”

Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Hastings

Log Book Servicing is a proactive approach to car maintenance where regular inspections and small fixes keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently to prevent small problems turning into major damage and fix minor issues which could otherwise become very costly to repair.

Every passenger car (and most commercial vehicles) should be issued with a “Log Book” by the manufacturer which lays out the specified timing and agenda for your regular log book services. You should keep your log book in your glove box for reference and recording any details, but Western Port Automotive Services can also refer to our database to get the required information if you've misplaced your book.

The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance.

You may be tempted to delay your next log book service because your car is still essentially driveable and it may not have reached BOTH the time and distance measures. While you obviously need to find availability in your budget and schedule, don't delay too long because wear and tear on the car will increase exponentially and could lead to damage which is many times more expensive than the log book service would have been.

When buying your new car, you would have received a log book - the booklet guiding you through expected service procedures, inspection points and car service intervals essential for the safe operation of your new car.the manufacturers service guidelines - log book - ensure the optimum functioning environment for your new vehicle, helping you enjoy your new car longer. when sevicing your new car at Western Port Automotive Services in Hastings, Vic, the vehicle maintains the statutory warranty. our mechanics take exceptional care of your vehicle, stamp the log book and use only parts and lubricants of equal or better specifications as required by original car manufacturers. call western port auto now or make a car service appointment online

• Inspect Steering and Suspension • Inspect & adjust Brake System • Inspect Lighting and Electrics • Inspect Tyre Pressures & Wear • Inspect Exhaust System • Inspect Radiator Hoses • Inspect Car Battery • Inspect Fan Belts • Inspect & refill Transmission Fluid • Inspect & Flush Cooling System • Inspect Under Bonnet Fluids • Inspect Air Filter condition • Inspect Power Steering • Inspect Spark Plugs • Inspect Turn Signals • Inspect Brake Lights • Inspect Heating System • Inspect Coolant Sensors • Replace Oil Filter • Refill Coolant Fluid • Refill Brake Fluid • Refill Engine Oil • Flush Engine • Flush Fuel System • Test Computer Battery • 40 Point Vehicle Check
