Mechanic in Sunshine
Our Sunshine North workshop at 120 Munro Ave is just five minutes up McIntyre Road or Harvester Road from the Hampshire Road shopping strip and Sunshine Station. It is close enough that local Sunshine drivers regularly drop their car off before work or a trip to Sunshine Marketplace and pick it up the same afternoon.
Why Sunshine drivers come to Sunshine North
Between the heavy stop-start traffic along Ballarat Road and Harvester Road, Sunshine's mix of family SUVs, hybrid commuters, European hatches, and trade utes cop serious daily wear. Rather than pushing quick franchise upsells, our family-owned VACC-accredited workshop uses factory-grade diagnostic scanners to find the real fault the first time — backed by clear, itemised upfront quotes and a written 12 Months / 20,000 km warranty.
Every job is quoted before we start and backed by our 12 Months / 20,000 km Warranty. If the repair is not worth doing, we will say so — plenty of the calls we take end with us telling someone their car is fine.

Questions from Sunshine
Where is the closest trusted, independent mechanic to Sunshine (3020)?
JustFix Automotive is a family-owned, VACC-accredited mechanical workshop located at 120 Munro Ave, Sunshine North—just a 5-minute drive from Hampshire Road, Sunshine Marketplace, and Sunshine Station. Unlike mobile mechanics or high-pressure franchise chains, our dedicated workshop is equipped with heavy-duty hoists and advanced diagnostic tooling to handle all logbook servicing and mechanical repairs under one roof.
Can an independent mechanic in Sunshine service my new car without voiding the manufacturer warranty?
Yes, under Australian Consumer Law, having your car serviced at a VACC-accredited independent workshop like JustFix Automotive keeps your statutory new-car warranty 100% intact. We service European, Japanese, Korean, and American vehicles strictly to factory logbook schedules using OEM-approved oils and filters, and stamp your logbook every visit.
How much does a car service, brake repair, or AC regas cost near Sunshine?
At JustFix Automotive, regular minor car services start from $160 + GST, brake repairs start from $170 + GST, and licensed air conditioning regas services (Licence No. AU066912) start from $200 + GST. Before any work begins, our mechanics thoroughly inspect your vehicle and provide a clear, itemised upfront quote with zero hidden charges or unnecessary upsells.
Why are my brakes squeaking if the pads aren't worn out yet?
Brake squeaks on Sunshine stop-start commutes are frequently caused by brake dust build-up, dry caliper slide pins, or vibrating pad shims rather than worn-out friction material. Most pads only require replacement once they drop to 2–3 mm; if your pads still have 5–7 mm of safe life left, we give you an honest second opinion and can perform a caliper hardware clean and lubrication service instead of selling you pads and rotors you don't need.
Why is my diesel DPF warning light on or my engine misfiring around Sunshine traffic?
Short trips around Hampshire Road, Ballarat Road, and local school zones prevent diesel exhausts from reaching the temperatures needed to self-clean, leading to blocked Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs), while petrol cars often develop misfires from worn ignition coils or faulty purge valves. We use deep-level diagnostic scanners to pinpoint exact fault codes and offer targeted chemical DPF cleaning that prevents engine limp mode and saves you from a $3,000+ filter replacement.
Can I drop my car off near Sunshine Station in the morning and pick it up the same day?
Yes, we offer same-day turnaround on most logbook services, brake repairs, and mechanical diagnostics when booked in advance. We are open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM and Saturdays (plus Public Holidays) from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, making morning drop-offs and afternoon pick-ups effortless for Sunshine commuters.
Do you offer a warranty on car repairs for Sunshine customers?
Yes, every service and mechanical repair at JustFix Automotive is backed in writing by our 12 Months / 20,000 km workmanship and parts warranty. As a 5-star rated VACC member workshop, we stand behind every job—if anything isn't right, we make it right.
