About Shire Tune & Service

Booking ahead is the best way to make sure we can fit you in at a time that suits. We do our best to accommodate walk-ins when the schedule allows, but for servicing, logbook work, or diagnostics, a booking means we can set aside the right amount of time for your car. You can book online or give us a call — either way, we’ll get you sorted quickly and let you know what to expect.

We service all makes and models, from everyday hatchbacks and family SUVs to utes and performance cars. We have a particular focus on European and Japanese vehicles, where our up-to-date diagnostic equipment really earns its keep. Whether you drive a daily commuter or something a little more special, bring it in and we’ll look after it properly.

Under Australian consumer law, you’re generally entitled to have your vehicle serviced by a qualified independent mechanic without affecting your manufacturer warranty, as long as the work meets the manufacturer’s specifications and the right parts are used. We follow logbook requirements, use quality parts, and keep proper records for every service. We’d always recommend checking your specific warranty terms if you’re unsure — that’s general information, not legal advice.

Yes, we work with small business owners, tradies, and local operators who need their vehicles kept on the road and running reliably. We understand that downtime costs money, so we aim to service fleet vehicles efficiently and keep you informed at every step. Whether you’re running a single ute or a small fleet of vans, get in touch and we can talk through what ongoing servicing looks like for your situation.

We give you a clear picture before any work starts. Every minor service includes a free 30-point inspection, and our approach is straightforward: we tell you what we’ve found, explain what needs attention now and what can wait, and give you a quote before we proceed. No surprises on the invoice, no pressure to approve work you’re not comfortable with. Honest advice is just how we do things.

We accept the most common payment methods including cash, card, and bank transfer. If you have any questions about payment before you book, just ask when you call or drop us a message — we’re happy to sort out the details upfront so there are no awkward moments at pick-up.

We’re based in Kirrawee, in the heart of the Sutherland Shire. There’s parking available at the workshop, so dropping your car off is straightforward. If you’re not familiar with the area or want to confirm the exact address before you head over, give us a call and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Absolutely. Most of our customers drop their car off in the morning on the way to work or during school drop-off, then collect it later in the day. We’ll call or message you when the work is done and talk you through what we found. If you need to get somewhere after dropping off, let us know and we can discuss your options — we’re here to make the process as easy as possible.

Shire Tune & Service has been operating in Kirrawee for over 18 years, and our head technician brings more than 30 years of hands-on experience to the workshop. We’re a local, owner-operated business — not a franchise, not a chain. That continuity matters because the same person who services your car this year will know your vehicle’s history next time you come in, and the time after that.

We use genuine or quality OEM-equivalent parts, and we’ll always tell you what we’re using and why. For vehicles under warranty or where manufacturer specifications are critical, genuine parts are often the right call. For other situations, we can discuss quality aftermarket options that meet the same standards. The goal is always to use parts that are right for your vehicle and your budget, with nothing fitted without your approval first.

Yes, always. We’ll inspect your vehicle, identify what it needs, and give you a clear quote before any work begins. If we find something unexpected during a service, we’ll contact you to explain what we’ve found and get your go-ahead before proceeding. You’re in control at every stage. That’s been our approach since we opened in Kirrawee, and it’s not something we’re willing to compromise on.

It really is. A big part of what we do is explain things clearly so you can make an informed decision without feeling lost or talked down to. We see plenty of young drivers, retirees, and everyday commuters who just want to know their car is safe and reliable without being upsold on things they don’t need. Bring it in, ask as many questions as you like, and we’ll give you straight answers.
