Light and heavy vehicles

An Ayr mechanic for cars, 4WDs, trucks and trailers.

Most of what rolls down Edwards Street, we work on. If it's got wheels and it's giving you grief, give us a ring.

  • Cars and utes

    Log book servicing and repairs on the daily drive.

  • 4WDs

    Suspension, bars, snorkels, winches and the servicing that goes with them.

  • Trucks and heavy vehicles

    Heavy vehicle repairs and heavy vehicle wheel alignments.

  • Caravans and trailers

    Trailer repairs, trailer parts, towbars and towing setups.

What we do

Servicing, repairs, roadworthies and aircon in Ayr.

Everything on our sign out the front, done in our own workshop. Not sure which one you need? Ring us and tell us what the vehicle's doing.

Mechanical repairs and servicing

Log book servicing and mechanical repairs. A regular service is where we pick up the small things before they turn into big, expensive ones: fluids, brakes, suspension and tyres all get a look.

Roadworthy and COI inspections

We're an approved inspection station (AIS 9281), so roadworthy certificates and COI inspections get done right here in Ayr.

Air conditioning

Vehicle air conditioning, done by a business holding refrigerant trading authorisation AU06910. Handy in a Burdekin summer.

Heavy vehicle repairs and alignments

We work on light and heavy vehicles in the one workshop, and we do heavy vehicle wheel alignments as well as the everyday kind.

Suspension and exhaust

Suspension for utes, 4WDs, caravans and trailers, plus exhaust systems. We started out as Bennetts Exhaust, so exhausts have been part of the job from day one.

Diesel performance tuning

Diesel performance tuning for the ute or the 4WD. Give us a ring and tell us what you're driving and what you want out of it.

Why Burdekin drivers come to us

Four reasons to bring it to Bennett's.

  1. 01

    Light and heavy, one workshop

    Cars, utes, 4WDs and heavy vehicles all come through the same doors, so the family ute and the work truck can go to the same people.

  2. 02

    Roadworthies and aircon in-house

    Approved inspection station 9281 and refrigerant authorisation AU06910, both on our own sign. No running around to a second business.

  3. 03

    Fitted by the people who service it

    The Ironman gear we sell gets fitted in our workshop, by the same mechanics who'll see the vehicle at its next service.

  4. 04

    Family-owned, over 20 years

    We've been in business for more than 20 years and we're still family-owned and operated. New name and logo in 2022.

Ironman 4x4 stockist

4WD accessories in Ayr, fitted in our own workshop.

We stock Ironman 4x4 suspension and accessories, and we do the fitting ourselves. Bullbars, snorkels, side steps, driving lights, recovery points, suspension: it all goes on in our own workshop, by the same mechanics who service the vehicle.

Towing, caravans and trailers

Caravan, trailer and towing work in Ayr.

Whether it's the boat, the caravan, a trailer or the work gear, the right towing setup makes all the difference. We fit towbars, wiring and towing accessories, repair trailers and caravans, and keep trailer parts on the shelf. We sell and hire trailers too.

  • Tow bars, hitches and wiring
  • Caravan and trailer bearings, brakes and suspension
  • Trailer repairs and trailer parts
  • Trailer sales and hire

Passing through?

Coming through Ayr and something's not right with the van or the motorhome? Give us a ring, tell us what's happened, and we'll talk you through what we can do.

Parts and accessories

The shop on Edwards Street.

Drop in and have a look. We carry Runva winches, towbars and hitches, exhaust parts and a wall of towing and trailer bits, plus the odd handy thing like Wurth rodent protection spray for the wiring under the bonnet.

Reviews

What our customers say.

Josh and the team really know their stuff. They were so helpful with our Caravan Axel problem. Squeezed us in, diagnosed the problem, ordered parts and fixed all in one day.

The team at Bennetts Mechanical have been fitting my Dmax out with quality accessories since I bought it new last year. The workmanship and service has been nothing but quality and at a bloody good price. The only business in the area that I want to work on my new ute. Whether it's fit outs or a service be sure to give them a call.

Absolutely Brilliant - Highly Recommend. I was treated with respect right from the start. Josh and the team slotted me in as soon as they could on the same day. I was so grateful when we were able to troubleshoot the concern and understand the reason for the odd sound. I will absolutely use Bennett's for my major services as I found the service and staff to be genuine and high quality. Much appreciated!

The team at Bennetts 4x4 went above & beyond with an urgent repair on our caravan suspension & saved us from what could have been a disaster!!! They squeezed us in even though they had a 2 week wait. Big thank you to the team & would 100% recommend this business if your ever stuck like we could have been in Ayr. Ellie & Rodger from Gippsland Victoria. 🙏🏻👌

About us

A family-owned workshop in Ayr for over 20 years.

We're proudly family-owned and operated. We started out as Bennetts Exhaust, and after 20 years in business we celebrated by revamping the logo and changing the name to Bennett's Mechanical & 4X4. The work had grown well past exhausts by then.

These days it's a busy workshop doing light and heavy vehicle repairs, roadworthies, air conditioning, suspension and 4WD fit-outs, with a shop out the front full of Ironman gear, towing kit and trailer parts. We train our own apprentices too, in the workshop, on both light and heavy vehicles.

When you support us, you're supporting a local family business. Thanks for being part of the journey.
