Find the Cause of Your Car's Fault
A car that overheats, struggles to start or makes a new noise needs a clear diagnosis. At Motorhead Garage, we provide mechanical repairs in Tweed Heads for cars and light vehicles, starting with a discussion of the symptoms and checks of the likely causes. We then explain the findings so you can decide on the next step.
Our workshop handles repairs involving radiators, water pumps, fan belts, alternators, starter motors and wheel bearings, along with other car systems. We discuss practical options before repairs begin, including any work that needs further investigation. For caravans, trailers and motorcycles, we offer pink and blue slip inspections only.
When a fault appears during routine maintenance, our logbook servicing page explains the scheduled checks we also offer. Call 0412 811 104 to arrange an assessment.

Common Mechanical Problems We Investigate
A symptom such as overheating or difficulty starting can point to more than one fault, so diagnosis comes before parts replacement.
Cooling concerns.We investigate symptoms such as overheating or coolant loss. Relevant repairs may involve radiators, water pumps or connected components.
Starting and charging.We inspect likely causes when a car is difficult to start or has electrical charging symptoms. Alternators and starter motors are among the components we repair or replace.
Engine-related faults.We examine unusual noises and performance concerns to narrow down their cause. The appropriate next step depends on the vehicle and inspection findings.
Belts and wheel bearings.We assess wear or noises associated with these mechanical parts. We'll explain whether we recommend a repair or replacement after checking their condition.
