Mechanical repairs and servicing
The everyday work a workshop is for. Routine servicing, things that have started making a noise, and the repairs that come out of a job once it is up on the hoist.

A workshop on Marian St in Mount Isa. Cars, utes, 4WDs, caravans and trucks. If it is mechanical or it is electrical, bring it in and we will have a look at it properly.

Where we are
The first proper workshop for a very long way.
Mount Isa sits on its own out here. The Barkly Highway runs west towards Camooweal and the Territory. The Flinders runs east towards Cloncurry and the coast. In between there is a lot of country and not much else.
That means a fair bit of what comes through the roller door has driven a long way to get here, and the people in it want a straight answer about whether they are going anywhere today. One of our reviews is from someone who nursed a Sprinter three hundred kilometres in after hitting debris. Another is from a bloke whose engine light came on between the Territory and Queensland.
It also means the local work matters just as much. Plenty of the vehicles here belong to people who live around the corner, and a few belong to other trades in town who need their ute back tomorrow.

What we do
Mechanical on one side, auto electrical on the other.
Most places in a town this size do one or the other. Here the same workshop handles both, which usually saves a job being pulled apart twice.
12V auto electrical
Car, ute, 4WD and caravan electrics. Wiring that has stopped doing what it should, accessories that need to be run in properly, and the twelve volt faults that are hard to chase down.
WiringAccessoriesFault finding
24V auto electrical
Twenty four volt systems as well, which is the side of the trade a lot of workshops leave alone. Heavy vehicle electrics get the same attention as everything else that comes through the door.
TrucksHeavy vehicles
Computer diagnostics
Engine light on and nobody can tell you why. The electronics get scanned on the diagnostic gear so the actual fault gets found, rather than parts being thrown at it.
Fault codesSensorsEngine lights
Caravan and camper electrics
Anderson plugs, van wiring and the charging problems that turn up a long way from where you started. A lot of this work walks in off the highway and needs sorting the same day.

Breakdowns and travellers
People arrive here because Mount Isa is the first real town in a long while. If you have limped in off the Barkly or the Flinders, say so when you ring and we will tell you straight away what we can do.

The workshop
Blue shed on Marian St, roller doors up.
You will find us beside the Caltex, two bays, hoists inside, and the sign on the wall. It is not a big glossy operation and it does not pretend to be.
What people write about afterwards is fairly consistent: they were told what was actually wrong, it was done when it was said it would be done, and the bill was what they expected. One of the reviews below is from another maintenance business in town, which is usually a decent sign.
- Mechanical and auto electrical under one roof
- Diagnostic gear for chasing down fault codes
- 12V and 24V, so caravans and trucks both
- Straight answers about what a job needs

Exceptional service from a trustworthy team. I developed an issue with my Mercedes Sprinter after hitting debris on the freeway and nervously travelled 300km to the nearest major town in hope that a professional could sort out the issue. The guys got onto it straight away and had me back on the road in no time. I can't thank them enough for their prompt, professional service. Highly recommended!

Absolutly great service!!! Highly recommend their service. Had trouble with a RAM while travelling from NT to Qld. Engine light came on. Nobody else in Mt Isa were able to help me. They've checked the electronics with a diagnostic system and found the faulty sensor, fixed it up and I could hit the road again. Their repair took less time than waiting at the RAM dealership only to hear a "We could give you an appointment next week". I was so impressed by their service and that they made time to help me out. Thank you guys so much!!!

We were passing Mt Isa today and had a problem with out caravan Andersen plug. Clinton stopped what he was doing to looked at the problem immediately. He did not have any new plugs in stock, so drove to get some and returned in 5 minutes to replace and send us on our way. He did not even want payment but I insisted. I will pay forward his generosity and would highly recommend Clinton and his business to all. A good guy and knew what to do to get us on our way.

We had an electrical issue with our van and Sam and Clint were absolutely amazing. We arrived late and they spent over an hour problem solving. Nothing was too much of a problem for them. They were the most fantastic people and business to deal with. If anyone needs auto electrical work done, Isa Mechanical & Auto Elec is the place to go. 10 out of 10 from the minute we phoned till we left. Thank you
