The Workshop
A mechanic who shows you what is wrong, then fixes it.
Most people meet Lava because someone on the Shore told them to. Word of mouth built AutoMed Mechanicals, and it is easy to see why: he takes the time to walk you through the actual fault, points at the worn or broken part, and explains what it means before a single spanner comes out.
The reviews say the rest. Diagnoses done in minutes, jobs turned around fast even over Christmas and on a Sunday, and pricing that is fair with no unnecessary work bolted on. Genuine parts go in, the job gets done properly, and you leave knowing exactly what you paid for.
- Clear, plain-English explanations
- Genuine parts fitted as standard
- Fast turnaround, short notice welcome
- Fair pricing with zero upselling
Genuine Parts Ethos
The right part for your car, not the cheapest one on the shelf.
When a part needs replacing, it gets matched to your vehicle and fitted properly. You can see it in the workshop photos: genuine oils, manufacturer parts and components rebuilt to last. It is the difference between a repair that holds and one you are back for in three months.

What We Do
Mechanical work, handled in house.
From a straightforward service to the repairs other shops would rather pass on, AutoMed covers it across most makes and models.
Diagnostics
Warning light on? Engine running rough? ABS fault? The fault gets read, traced and explained in plain English before any work starts.
WOF Repairs
Failed your Warrant of Fitness, or want it sorted before the check? Repairs done quickly so you can get back on the road legal and safe.
Brakes & Suspension
Discs, pads, calipers and the bits that keep you planted on the road. Inspected, measured and replaced only when they genuinely need it.
Cooling & Coolant
Overheating, leaks and tired cooling systems flushed, refilled and repaired so your engine stays at the temperature it likes.
Engine Repairs
From timing chains to oil leaks and deeper mechanical work, the kind of repairs a lot of shops would rather hand off, handled in house.
From The Workshop
Real jobs. Real cars.

Lava is an excellent mechanic to hire for your car service. Very knowledgeable and skilled with cars. He was very thorough with me with the issues. He even showed me what each broken thing was. I would totally recommend him for the reasonable price and his skills!
Absolutely saved my day! Finding someone this reliable and professional on a Sunday is honestly a lifesaver. From diagnosis to repair, everything was done in under 30 minutes and clearly explained. The pricing was fair and reasonable, with no upselling or unnecessary work. Super knowledgeable, honest and trustworthy.
Can't recommend Lava enough. He took time at very short notice during the busy Christmas holiday period to help me diagnose an issue, which I really appreciated. Incredibly knowledgeable, generous with his time, and genuinely driven to help people out rather than just rush a job. I will 100% be calling him again.
Thank you so much Lava, you literally saved my day. Your service is really efficient, professional and you were incredibly helpful when fixing my vehicle to pass my WOF! I would definitely use your services again. Highly recommended, excellent mechanic!
Lava was incredibly quick to diagnose an issue with wheel sensors that were leading to ABS faults. He very quickly ordered the appropriate part and sorted it all within a few days during a very busy summer period. His ability to get the car fixed in such a short time was highly commendable!
