Car Servicing and Repair in Huonville by the expereinced team of mechanics at Total Automotive and 4WD.

In Oct, 2022 a client came in with his 1999 Nissan Navara to have a turbo kit fitted as it was struggling power wise on steep inclines. And this is what Martin had to say once he received his car back and had put it through it's paces.

"Just thought I’d drop you a quick email to let you know how pleased I am with the performance of the Navara now that it has had the turbo fitted.

The power and torque sit perfectly in the rev range. Fifth gear acceleration from 80km/h is perfect and has made overtaking manoeuvres much safer and easier to achieve.

The steep climb out of Hobart on the Southern Outlet used to end in third gear and revving hard if I was to have any chance of meeting the 8okm/h speed limit. If a slow car interrupted my run I couldn’t even achieve that meagre milestone. The vehicle now easily does 80km/h throughout the climb in fifth gear. It feels like a new vehicle.

Thank you for the great design work on the turbo kit and Scott for the attention you paid to ensuring that the product was well fitted and delivered the expected performance. I am extremely happy with my purchase and the work."

Scott & the team at Total Automotive and 4WD couldn't be more pleased with this outcome. We strive to deliver the best performance possible for every vehicle that comes through our Huonville workshop.

On the 18th November, 2022 building works started very early in the morning (you can still see the mist in the distance).

Total Automotive and 4WD are excited to share their workshop growth journey

We had poured the concrete pad earlier this year down one side of the building, so we could extend our workspace and grow the business.

Steel frame work was installed  to he concrete pad and existing building, for the 5 concrete wall panels and roofing sheets to be fixed to.

The concrete panels built locally by Duggans in Cradoc, where transported from their facility to our site. Each panel weighed a whopping 4.4 tonnes.

The crane arrived not long after and the lifting and placing of panels went smoothly and was completed in around 2 hours.

Now that the walls are up, the next stage will be to put the roof on making it weather tight.  Once this is done, the inner wall will be removed for access into the extension and the final fit out can be completed. 

More photos to come when the remaining signage also goes up!!!
