About us
More Than Just a Mechanic in Tullamarine
At Carrick Motors, we deliver more than routine vehicle maintenance by offering complete Tullamarine Auto Repairs tailored to the needs of every driver. Whether your vehicle requires scheduled servicing, engine diagnostics, brake repairs, suspension work, or electrical fault finding, our experienced technicians provide reliable solutions that keep your car performing at its best. We take pride in delivering a trusted mechanical service built on honest advice.
Auto electrical work at our Tullamarine workshop. A flat battery is a symptom, not always the fault. Before we sell you a battery we put it under load and check what the alternator is actually producing, and if the car keeps going flat while parked we test for a parasitic drain. We fit AGM, EFB and conventional batteries to suit the vehicle, register the new battery to the management system where the car requires it, and take the old battery away for recycling. Alternator and starter motor diagnosis and replacement sit within our all cars mechanical repairs service, where the battery, charging system and starter are tested together before we quote.
Is it my battery, alternator or starter motor?
Rapid clicking or slow cranking that a jump-start improves usually points to the battery. A single loud click with no crank usually points to the starter motor. A battery warning light while driving, headlights that dim and vary with engine speed, or a fairly new battery that keeps going flat points to the alternator. We test them together to confirm the real fault before quoting, so you are not paying for guessed parts.
Why does my battery keep going flat overnight?
A healthy battery holds charge for weeks. Going flat after sitting a few days usually means a parasitic drain, often an aftermarket accessory or a module not shutting down, or a charging fault. That needs measuring, not guessing. If your car won’t start, don’t keep cranking it: call (03) 9330 1082. Free pick-up and drop-off is available within 10 km of Tullamarine, subject to availability on the day, and we accept towed vehicles for diagnosis.

Summer and holiday car servicing
Booking a Car Service Before Summer and the Holidays?
Book your car service at Carrick Motors in Tullamarine before you head off on a summer or holiday road trip. Our workshop at 27 Carrick Drive is open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 5pm, and a standard car service for most passenger cars costs between $150 and $350, as set out in our car service cost guide.
A pre-trip service is a good time to have the brakes, tyres, battery, cooling system and fluids checked, so the car is ready for long drives in the heat. If your car is also due for its scheduled service, we can do a logbook service to the maker’s schedule at the same visit.
How far ahead should I book a service before the holidays?
Demand for car servicing rises in December and January, so booking a few weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of days. Call (03) 9330 1082 to check the next available slot.
How much does a minor or major service cost?
In our cost guide, minor services range from $150 to $250 and major services from $300 to $600, depending on the vehicle. We give you a clear estimate before any work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What services does Carrick Motors offer in Tullamarine?
Carrick Motors provides full Tullamarine auto repairs and servicing, including brake pad replacement, tyres, balancing and wheel alignment, engine oil and filter replacement, mechanical repairs, transmission servicing, and major work like engine replacement.
Do you provide logbook servicing for new and used cars?
Yes. We offer logbook servicing as part of our car service in Tullamarine, using manufacturer-recommended service schedules and quality parts to help keep your vehicle running reliably.
How do I know if my car needs brake pad replacement?
Common signs include squealing noises, longer stopping distance, a vibrating brake pedal, or a warning light. If you notice any of these, book a brake inspection with a trusted mechanic in Tullamarine.
How often should I change engine oil and the oil filter?
Most cars need an engine oil and filter replacement every 6–12 months or based on kilometres driven (depending on your vehicle type and driving conditions). City driving, short trips, and towing can mean more frequent changes.
Do you service automatic and manual transmissions?
Yes. We offer car transmission service for both automatic and manual vehicles, including fluid checks and changes where recommended. Transmission servicing can help reduce slipping, harsh shifts, and long-term wear.
When should I book a transmission service?
If you notice delayed shifting, shuddering, unusual noises, or transmission fluid leaks, it’s a good time to book an inspection. Regular servicing is also recommended based on your vehicle’s kilometres and manufacturer schedule.
