Why choose Tassell Automotive?

Local know-how you can actually use

Castle Hill driving is a special mix: peak-hour stop-start, weekend freeway trips, hot summers, wild storms, and the odd pothole or speed bump that sneaks up on you. Our team services vehicles with this real-world context in mind. We don’t just tick boxes—we listen to how you drive, then tailor your service plan accordingly.

Straight talk, zero jargon

You’ll get clear explanations in normal English. If something needs attention now, we’ll say so. If it can wait until the next visit, you’ll know that too. Photos and short videos are available on request so you can see what we’re seeing.

A tidy workshop and organised process

From the moment you book, expect updates, reasonable timeframes, and a neat car on return. We plan to work properly so you’re not stuck wondering when your ride will be ready.

Quality parts & methods

We use parts and fluids that suit your car and the way you use it day-to-day. It’s about smart, long-term care—keeping your vehicle running sweetly without over-servicing.

Convenience that respects your time

Need an early drop-off? Prefer a message instead of a phone call while you’re in meetings? Want a heads-up before we proceed with additional work? Consider it done. We work around real life.

Key benefits of booking a Mechanic Castle Hill with Tassell

1) Confidence behind the wheel
A properly serviced car accelerates cleanly, brakes predictably, and steers without drama. That’s less stress in traffic and more enjoyment on the M2 and beyond.

2) Fewer surprise breakdowns
Preventive servicing catches issues before they become tow-truck moments. We check wear points and let you know what’s coming up, so you can plan rather than panic.

3) Smoother, quieter driving
Fresh filters, correct fluids, and properly set brakes and suspension reduce noise and vibration. The difference is noticeable the moment you roll out.

4) Better fuel economy
Correct spark, clean air, good tyres and proper wheel alignment all add up. You’ll visit the bowser less often when your vehicle is properly maintained.

5) A long-term plan that suits you
We map your maintenance around how you actually drive—commutes, school runs, weekend trips—so you’re not over- or under-serviced.

Our services (what we do every day)

Logbook & Scheduled Servicing

Keep your car in shape with servicing that follows the manufacturer’s schedule and makes sense for Sydney conditions. We replace filters and fluids, run full inspections, and note anything upcoming so you’re never caught off guard.

Great for: Newer vehicles, family cars, and anyone who wants a consistent maintenance baseline.

Diagnostics & Warning Lights

ABS, airbag, engine, DPF, TPMS—if a light’s on, we can help. We use up-to-date scan tools and real-world testing to find the cause before recommending repairs. No parts-dart throwing—just methodical fault-finding.

Great for: Mystery misfires, limp mode, intermittent issues and “it only happens sometimes”.

Brakes: Pads, Rotors & Hydraulics

Brakes are non-negotiable. We measure pad thickness and rotor condition, check hoses, inspect callipers and slides, and flush fluid when it’s due. You’ll get a confident pedal feel and consistent stopping.

Signs you might need this: Squeals, shudders, longer stopping distances, or a soft pedal.

Steering & Suspension

From knocks over bumps to vague highway steering, we’ll inspect shocks, struts, control arms, bushes and tie rods, then restore that planted, predictable feel.

Bonus: It protects your tyres and makes every drive feel calmer.

Tyres, Balancing & Wheel Alignment

Tyre condition and alignment make a huge difference to safety and running costs. We can source tyres that suit your driving and budget range, fit and balance them properly, and line up the geometry so the car tracks straight and true.

Tell-tales of poor alignment: Inner/outer edge wear, pulling to one side, or a crooked steering wheel.

Cooling System & Overheating

Radiators, hoses, water pumps, thermostats and coolant quality all play a role. We pressure-test, inspect for leaks, and replace components that are past their best. Overheating is expensive—prevention here is gold.

Air Conditioning Service & Regas

If the A/C’s not cold (or smells a bit off), we’ll check for leaks, replace cabin filters, and service the system so it’s crisp again—perfect for summer school runs and long weekends away.

Batteries & Charging Systems

Hard starts? Flickering lights? We test battery health and charging output to determine whether you need a battery or a deeper alternator/earth repair.

Exhaust, DPF & EGR

For modern diesels, we can assess DPF loading and EGR performance, then advise practical solutions (including on-car cleaning, sensor replacement, or related fixes) that keep your engine breathing well.

Timing Belts/Chains & Engine Care

If you’re nearing the interval for a timing belt, let’s plan. For chain-driven engines, we listen for tell-tale noises and check oil quality—small things that make a big difference to longevity.

Transmission & Driveline

From fluid services on autos and DSGs to clutch and flywheel replacement on manuals, we’ll help your drivetrain shift smoothly and last longer.

eSafety (Pink Slip) Inspections

When it’s time for rego, book your Mechanic Castle Hill inspection with us. We run through the essentials and let you know if anything needs attention to keep things moving.

4×4, Towing & Touring Prep

Planning a trip? We’ll check cooling, brakes, suspension, fluids and spares to suit highway miles and the odd gravel turnoff. Peace of mind for the long haul.

Fleet & Business Vehicles

Keep your team on the move with sensible servicing schedules, straightforward communication and minimal downtime. We’ll help you plan visits that fit your calendar.

How we work (so your day runs smoothly)

1) Easy booking
Reach out with your preferred day, vehicle details and what you’re noticing. We’ll confirm a time and any parts we might need on hand.

2) Check-in & quick chat
Drop off the car, share your priorities (“that rattle at 60km/h”, “service and check brakes”, “rego due next week”), and we’ll take it from there.

3) Inspection & approval
If we find anything outside the plan, we’ll contact you with an explanation and a general idea of options before we proceed. No surprises.

4) The work
We get the job done neatly and methodically, road-test where appropriate, and recheck the basics before handover.

5) Pick-up & simple aftercare
We’ll run through what we did, what’s coming up, and a suggested interval for next time. You’ll leave in a car that feels better than it did arriving.

Signs your car wants a date with a Mechanic Castle Hill

• The steering wheel’s off-centre, or the car drifts on a straight road
  
• You hear squeaks, clunks or rattles over bumps.
  
• Braking feels longer, noisier or “not quite right”
  
• The engine hesitates, idles roughly or lacks its usual pep.
  
• Fuel economy has dropped off noticeably.
  
• You smell coolant, fuel or a hot brake odour after a drive.
  
• Dash lights are on (or flickering on and off)
  
• Air-con struggles on warm afternoons.
  
• Tyres are wearing unevenly, or the edges look feathered.
  

If any of these sound familiar, book in. Small fixes now beat big fixes later.

Maintenance made easy: simple intervals that work

Every car and driver is unique, but here’s a practical rhythm many Hills locals follow:

• Engine oil & filter: every 10,000–15,000km or 6–12 months, depending on use
  
• Cabin filter: 12 months (so the A/C smells fresh and flows well)
  
• Brake fluid: around 2 years
  
• Coolant: typically 3–5 years (or as the vehicle specifies)
  
• Transmission fluid: varies by model—chat to us if you tow, sit in traffic a lot, or drive in hot conditions
  
• Wheel alignment: every 12 months or after a decent pothole encounter
  
• Tyre rotation: every 10,000km to even out wear
  

Not sure where your car is up to? Bring it by; we’ll establish a sensible baseline and set reminders that suit you.

A quick word on parts and approvals

We fit parts that match your vehicle and driving style, from everyday commuter options through to premium choices for heavy-duty use. If a component is borderline, we’ll explain the trade-offs and let you decide. You’re in the driver’s seat—literally and figuratively.

Electric & Hybrid? Let’s talk care.

EVs and hybrids still need attention: tyres, brakes, cabin filters, suspension, cooling circuits and software-related checks. If you’re new to electrified motoring, we’re happy to run through a simple maintenance plan tailored to your model.

Helpful tips to keep your car feeling great between services

• Listen early. New noises rarely fix themselves; early checks save headaches.
  
• Tyre pressures matter. A quick fortnightly check improves economy and tyre life.
  
• Lighten your hands on the wheel. If feedback changes (heavier steering, vibration), book a check.
  
• Keep it clean. Road grime and leaf litter block drains—especially before storm season.
  
• Drive kinder. Smooth inputs keep brakes, tyres and transmissions happier for longer.
