Services
Services carried out on site
Every job is quoted before it is booked in, so you know the price before any work starts. There is no callout fee on a booked job.
Brakes & suspension
Inspection and replacement of pads, rotors, brake fluid, shock absorbers and bushings. Components are measured against wear limits before quoting, so replacement is recommended only where it is warranted.
Batteries & starting systems
On-site testing of the battery, alternator and starter motor to identify the cause of a no-start fault. Common battery types are carried on the ute and can usually be replaced during the same visit.
Diagnostics
Full electronic scan and road test to investigate warning lights, poor running or unfamiliar noises. Findings are explained in plain terms and quoted before any repair is undertaken.
Pre-purchase inspections
An independent inspection conducted at the seller's location, covering mechanical condition, structural signs of prior damage and service history. A written report follows the same day.
Tyres & punctures
Puncture repairs and pressure checks carried out on site, along with an honest assessment of tread depth and wear so you know whether a tyre has life left in it or needs replacing. Replacement tyres are not supplied — where new rubber is needed you will be told plainly, and you can take that to a tyre shop.
Breakdowns
Attendance to vehicles immobilised at a home or workplace. Where a repair can reasonably be completed on site it will be, and where it cannot, you will be told so directly.
How it works
Three steps, no workshop
Step 01
Tell us the car and the problem
Call or send the form with your make, model and rough kilometres. We quote before we book, so you know the price up front.
Step 02
We turn up where the car is
Home, work, apartment car park — anywhere with room to open the doors. You do not need to be there the whole time.
Step 03
Pay once it's done
Cash or bank transfer on completion, with an itemised invoice and any replaced parts left with you if you want to see them.
Recent work
Done in the driveway
Why mobile
The workshop, without the workshop
Your day stays yours
No drop-off, no waiting room, no organising a lift home. The car gets worked on where it already is.
Quoted before we start
You approve a price before a spanner comes out. Nothing gets added to the invoice that you did not agree to.
You can watch the work
Nothing disappears behind a roller door. Ask what a part does and why it needs replacing, and you will get a straight answer.
Warranty stays intact
Logbook servicing done to the manufacturer's schedule and stamped, so a new-car warranty is unaffected.
No workshop overheads
There is no rent on a building to pay for, and that shows up in the quote rather than in someone else's lease.
Whenever suits you
Booked work runs seven days — a weekday evening, a Sunday morning, whenever the car is actually sitting still. Stuck somewhere? Urgent callouts are around the clock.
About
Who's turning up
Bonnet Buddy is a qualified mechanic working out of a fully equipped ute across southern Sydney. Same training and the same tools as a workshop, minus the workshop.
Going mobile was the point. Most people can't drop a car off at eight and pick it up at five without losing a day's pay, so the work happens at your place, at a time you pick, while you get on with something else.
You'll get told what's actually wrong, what it will cost before it starts, and what can wait. Old parts stay with you if you want to see them.
- Fully qualified mechanic
- Insured for work at your home or workplace
- Ute set up for most jobs on the spot
- Every quote given before work starts
Where we go
Based in Hurstville, working across Sydney
We're based in Hurstville, so the St George area and the Sutherland Shire tend to get the quickest turnaround. That's where we're based — not where we stop.
The suburbs below are simply where most of our work is. If you're further out, that's no problem at all — tell us where you are and what the car needs, and we'll be there.

Questions
Before you book
Where does the car need to be?
Wherever it already is, as long as there is room to get the doors and bonnet open and the ground is reasonably flat. A driveway is ideal. A garage, a verge or an unhurried corner of a car park all work too. If you are in an apartment block, check whether visitor parking is an option and mention it when you book.
Can I leave you to it?
Yes. Meet us at the start so we can talk through the job and get the keys, then get on with your day. We will call if anything unexpected turns up, and we will go through the finished work with you before we pack up.
What if the car needs more than expected?
You hear about it before anything happens. We will explain what we have found, what it will cost, and what could reasonably wait until next time. Nothing gets done, and nothing gets charged, without you agreeing to it first.
Is my new car warranty at risk?
No. Australian Consumer Law protects your right to use any qualified mechanic you choose. As long as the service follows your logbook schedule and uses the parts and fluids the manufacturer specifies, your warranty carries on exactly as before, and your logbook gets stamped.
Are there jobs you cannot do at my place?
A few. Anything needing a hoist, a wheel alignment or heavy pressing gear belongs in a workshop, and we do not supply or fit replacement tyres. Where a job falls outside what can be done in a driveway, we will say so early and point you toward someone set up for it, rather than making a mess of it on your nature strip.
When can you come out?
Booked jobs run seven days a week, early mornings through to evenings, weekends included. Popular slots go quickly, so a few days notice gives you a better pick of times. If the car has broken down and it cannot wait, urgent callouts are available around the clock — ring rather than using the form.
