Who you are dealing with
Passionate about looking after your pride and joy.
Bowser is a locally owned and family run business. The team is upfront and honest and will always do what we can for our customers, whether that is a logbook service on a work ute or a full rebuild on something that has been in the shed for twenty years.
We work on a range of makes and models, from the old school cars right through to the very new. That covers mechanical and auto electrical diagnosing through to repairs, rebuilds, custom fabrication, exhaust, performance parts and aftermarket installations such as audio, visual and lighting, along with air conditioning repairs in your vehicle.
Keeping it reliable, and keeping it safe.

Excellent communication of problem and fix, fast and efficient, AC working again, very happy, thank you.
Awesome! Explained everything, advice on preventative care, honest assessment, and super fair pricing... all after a truly difficult week, what a legend! Will definitely be back, thanks mate 🤟
Booked my VY Cross 8 in to get some work done just recently. Inspection was thorough and the agreed list of items that was created upon initial inspection was well laid out. There was no hidden surprises when I dropped the car off for a portion of the repairs and picked it up again, pricing was very reasonable and service outstanding. Well done support your local small businesses like this. I'll be ringing to book back in for the remaining works shortly. Cheers Tom
Great service and price.
