South West Rocks Mobile Mechanics

23/02/2026

To our community, clients, and friends:

​We basically have no email, no SMS, and no working phones without walking on your hands for 2kms, licking your elbow and rubbing sticks together all at the same time.

​This isn't a one-off issue. We have been fighting for stable communication for 8 long years. We are at our wits' end and quite frankly, Jess is at the point of breakdown.

​We need your help to get noticed.

​If you’ve been trying to reach us—whether it was today or years ago—please comment below and tag and share. If you have a similar story feel free to add your experience.

​Tag them: Telstra

​Tell them: How long have you been trying to get a hold of us? How has our " forced off the grid network" affected our relationship, your choice to use our services or overall experience with us?

​We shouldn't have to fight this hard just to stay connected. Thank you for helping us hold them accountable.

Yep, it's Monday again, cartoon day. This week we are showing you that not all second hand cars are lemons!

We recently helped a client—a woman who needed a car to handle lots of back and forth highway trips for work without breaking a sweat (or her budget). She looked at the vehicle first and the car looked immaculate. The seller was a legend who clearly took care of his ride but our buyer knew that "peace of mind" isn't something you can see with a glance.

When you're on a tight budget, an unexpected mechanical failure isn't just a headache—it’s a financial setback you can't afford.

The seller was happy to prove his car's worth, and the buyer drove away with total reassurance. We didn't just find a reliable car; we made sure those cranky sour lemons were squeezed out of the deal for good!

Now, everyone’s enjoying the "sweet lemonade" of a successful, honest sale.

~We aren’t just repairing vehicles; we’re repairing the broken trust between a person and the people who keep them safe on the road. ​
~While some shops use tech to hide flaws, we use it to provide an unfiltered audit trail. We aren't here to play nice or to make friends with the status quo; we are here to be honest in an industry that desperately needs a tune-up.

"Don’t buy a lemon, get a pre-purchase inspection and avoid a sour experience"

In this week's cartoon, our lovely lady was a clever cookie and followed her gut instinct on a vehicle that was up for sale for over $100K. She got a pre-purchase inspection done and we found an engine light code that had been cleared 81kms prior, which had not been disclosed by the seller. We beleive that honesty is the best policy and the truth would certainly have been the better option on this one!

These cartoons aren't just for laughs 😂—they are based on real-life experiences that our team at have encountered over the past 6 weeks. Some of these characters may even be people you know!
​We’ve seen too many people end up broken-down, out of area, out of pocket or just broke after purchasing a second hand vehicle from our unregulated secord hand car market in Australia.
Under the South West Rocks Automotive umbrella, we’re on a mission to stop the 'lemons' from winning.

South West Rocks Automotive services go above and beyond, providing you with detailed, comprehensive data-based reporting so you can be assured of the financial decisions you are making.

Communication Update**

Our existing customers know how frustrating it has been in the past to get a hold of Tristan and I. I am sure many curse words have been flung around because of it. These frustrations as a business owner is heavy, but a likely shared frustration from most resident's and businesses on the Macleay. Our tower in South West Rocks is directional out to sea, so we will never get the bandwidth required to service the town, and only our local member can change that.

Thankfully moving forward, we now have a physical location away from our blackspot home office and have connected there to the nbn FTTP. More reliable nbn connection has made it possible for us to upgrade our comms. So whilst I am still in the processes of setting it all up, I believe now, I have a working (02) phone number. Once fully set up this will have an operational answering machine that even if I am away from the office, will email a message of your missed call. So, without further adieu, the number you are waiting for...

(02) 5505 6310

Please be patient with us as I continue to streamline our forms of communication and finalise the new system set up.

We are serious when it comes to providing quality services to you but we are also seriously short staffed. 12-14 hour days can't go on forever, we are almost at crash and burn point! So until we can find new mechanics, we ask if you could please be patient and understanding of our predicament. We endeavour to keep all our customers safe and on the move, so please consider booking your regular maintenance and repair work well in advance to avoid disappointment.
Thank you for supporting us during this busy, period.
