How it works

Getting quotes

For anyone whose car, ute, 4WD, caravan or truck needs work. Using Mechanics Directory is free.

1. Search by trade or suburb

   Choose the trade you need, from mechanics and tyre shops to auto electricians and tow trucks, and enter your suburb or postcode. You’ll see businesses based nearby and those that list your area as one they service.

2. Compare local businesses

   Each business has a profile with its services and service areas and, where available, opening hours, licences, ratings and reviews. Shortlist the ones that suit your job before you get in touch.

3. Get free quotes

   We match your request with up to 3 businesses in your area. A business on a paid plan here gets it with your name and contact details and can contact you directly. A business on the free plan sees the job and your suburb but not your details, so it can't contact you unless it upgrades. A business that hasn't claimed its listing sees your request only once it claims. After you send, we tell you which applies to each business. Or send a business an enquiry straight from its profile: the same applies.

For businesses

Your business is probably already listed. Claiming it is free.

1. Find your listing

   Search for your business name, suburb or postcode. If it isn’t listed yet, tell us and we’ll add it.

2. Claim it for free

   Confirm you run the business with a code sent to the email on your listing, and sign in with an email link. You can then correct your details, trades and service areas.

3. Get found by more customers

   Quote requests for your trade and area wait in your dashboard. A paid plan shows each customer’s name and contact details so you can reply, and Featured puts you first on your trade’s pages. See pricing.

Before work starts, ask which licence covers the job: motor vehicle repair businesses must be licensed in NSW, WA and the ACT, and anyone handling R134a air conditioning gas needs an ARC refrigerant handling licence. Licence details on Mechanics Directory are shown as listed and we don’t check them, so confirm them with the body that issued them.
