Warning Light On?
A dash light that appeared on Tuesday is worth checking before it becomes a tow. Bring the car in, we find the cause, and you get a quote with the fix and the cost before anything is replaced. If it can safely wait until the next service, we tell you that too. Customers come from across the eastern suburbs for this.
Brake Repairs
A soft pedal, a shudder when stopping or a squeal on light braking are early signs. We measure pads and rotors and test brake fluid, so the decision is based on millimetres rather than guesswork. Acting at the pad stage costs a fraction of waiting for the rotors. Hard driven cars like the BMW M2, M3 and M4 go through pads faster.
Batteries and Charging
Slow starts on cold Melbourne mornings usually point to the battery or charging system. We test both and replace the battery if it is due. The 12 volt battery check matters on electric cars too. Electric cars get the same check, alongside our Tesla protection work.
Belts, Hoses and Leaks
A drip on the driveway, a squeal at start up or a sweet smell after a drive all have a cause worth finding early. Belts and hoses are inspected, and leaks are traced and quoted before repair.
Suspension and Steering
Worn bushes, tired shocks and loose steering parts show up early if someone is listening. A bush caught at inspection costs far less than a control arm at failure. For owners after more, we fit KW performance suspension. Utes that carry loads wear suspension faster, see our ute protection page.
Tyres and Alignment
We supply and fit tyres, balance wheels and correct alignment. Uneven wear is usually an alignment story, and the steering pull most drivers have learned to live with is often a quick fix. Off roaders like the Ford Raptor knock alignment out fastest, and 4WDs that tour need it checked after every trip.
Roadworthy Inspections
Buying, selling or re-registering, we inspect to the VicRoads standard and give you a straight list of what passes, what fails and what it costs to fix. Repairs are quoted on the spot, so one visit can take the car from listed to legal. Selling? A cut and polish before the listing photos helps too.
Exhaust Work
Exhaust repairs and performance exhaust work are handled through AK Exhaust. Everything fitted is chosen to stay road legal, and you get in writing exactly what was changed.
One Workshop for the Whole Car
The same Mitcham workshop does your mechanical work and your detailing, paint protection film and ceramic coating. A repair can run alongside a detail in one visit, and the team working on the engine knows what is on the paint, so nobody leans on a filmed guard. More about who we are, and how to find us on the contact page.
Logbook Servicing Too
Under factory warranty, logbook servicing to manufacturer specification keeps the warranty intact, and we stamp and document it. Repairs found at a service are quoted before we touch them. Details are on the car service page. It keeps a new car warranty intact.
Performance Upgrades
For owners who want more than maintenance, we fit KW suspension and handle exhaust work through AK Exhaust. Every upgrade gets a test drive before handover, and you get in writing exactly what was changed.

Liquid R did an amazing job detailing and ceramic coating my car. Service was 10/10 and quality of work was high end. Highly recommend going to liquid R!
AJ Liska
I highly recommend choosing Liquid R for any of your vehicle care needs. I had the full exterior XPEL PPF (Paint Protection Film) applied to my 2025 M4 CS, along with the interior center console, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. Working with both Jacky and Bobby throughout the entire process was an absolute pleasure.
Nicholas Mladenov

John Robertson
Jacky and his team have a great eye for detail and did a great job on our new car. He took the time to go over after care thoroughly to ensure I understood it well. He clearly takes pride in his work and I would highly recommend.
Jacinta Kong
This is the second car I've taken to the team at Liquid R and I cannot believe how good these guys are. Worth every cent to revive the paint work to better than new! Thank you very much Jacky and Bobby, keep up the fantastic work.

From my previous Subaru to my current Toyota, I’ve always gone to Jacky. They offer customised solutions tailored to your needs and provide a suitable package. The results have been very satisfying. High quality you won’t regret…

The team here at Liquid R did such an amazing job on my car. They have made the car look brand new. They were even able to bring the shine back to my front wheels, which I have struggled to do myself. I know I'll definitely be back when I need another detail and to make the car look like new. There really isn't a better team to deal…

Hey there! So, you've been eyeing up that ceramic-coated shine for your ride, right? Well, let me tell you about my experience at Liquid R. It took a bit of patience to snag a spot – a couple of months, to be exact – but boy, was it worth the wait! At first, I admit, I had my doubts. But as soon as I saw the finished job, any hesitation melted away like snow in the Aussie sun.

It's not often people share a positive experience but here's five stars for Jacky and Liquid R. Dropped our newly purchased Tesla Model 3 off to Jacky and the team for their 'package 4' deal which includes front half covered in PPF, ceramic coat of exterior and interior protection, and window tint. Early days so we can't comment on the quality of product however the car looks amazing. Have gone to other detailers…

Edit on 19/07/2024: I bought a new car (picture added) and got an updated version of what I got with my i30N (now called Paint Protection Pack 4) with an upgrade on the tint. Same experience as before, so would again wholeheartedly recommend. Also my car feels so silky, its surreal. ### The short version: Bobby and Jacky are running an incredibly knowledgeable and professional business.
