Vehicles We See from Croydon
Croydon's driveways are classic outer-east: family SUVs (CX-5, RAV4, Tucson), tradie utes (HiLux, Ranger), weekend 4WDs heading up to the Dandenongs, and a steady stream of European cars whose owners are done with dealership pricing. We service the lot daily, with all-terrain 4WD stock on the shelf.

Head south on Dorset Road, continue onto Stud Road through Bayswater, then turn onto Ferntree Gully Road — we're at 5/1644 Ferntree Gully Rd, Knoxfield, about 15 minutes all up with parking out front. Most tyre work is done within the hour, so many customers simply wait in the lounge.

Croydon FAQ
Why would I drive past workshops in Croydon to come to you? Fair question. Owner on the tools, honest quotes before any work, and a Hunter HawkEye Elite alignment machine — the same one luxury dealers use. The 571+ five-star reviews tell the story.
How much is a wheel alignment? Most cars from $89, with a before-and-after printout so you can see exactly what changed.
Can I get tyres and a service done in one visit? Absolutely — it's the most common combination we do. Book both and save a second trip.
