Why locals call us

Four things you won't get from a Scoot's mobile mechanic

A good service is the one you never have to think about again. Here's what we leave out.

  1. 01

    A day lost at the workshop

    We come to you. Home, work, the roadside or the back paddock. You don't have to organise a lift or a day off.

  2. 02

    A service that skips the bits you can't see

    Filters get changed when they're due, not just ticked off. If we say we've done it, it's done.

  3. 03

    A bank transfer to chase up later

    Pay on the spot with tap & pay when the job's finished. No invoice to remember next week.

  4. 04

    A 24/7 call-out line

    We're not a 24 hour service. We're on the road 9am to 6pm, seven days, weekends included.

Roadside help
Rated 5 out of 5 on Google
I can’t thank Scott enough for bailing me out. He was the only one who made himself available to come and give me a tow on a cold, rainy, miserable day, from a servo forecourt to a side street after I’d put petrol in my diesel vehicle. He helped me drain the tank and went to the trouble of driving to his place and getting me a pump to drain the tank. He also stayed in miserable conditions and gave me plenty of tips and advice before he had to go. He was very knowledgeable and his explanations were clear and to the point. Great service and nothing was too much trouble. He’s a good bloke and will get my custom in the future, Thanks Scott 👍👏

Scott is very knowledgeable and couldn't have been more help for emergency repairs on one car and servicing of both our cars. Very reasonable prices too. Highly recommended without reservation!

Pre-purchase inspection
Rated 5 out of 5 on Google
I asked Scoot to assist with an inspection of a vehicle that I was considering to purchase. I had a very helpful chat over the phone and then met on site for the vehicle inspection. It was a cold and rainy outside. Scott was kind and well mannered, did a thorough check of the vehicle, was very well informed about the vehicle model and gave me all the information that I needed to make a decision. Also gave me some good advice about purchasing vehicles. Really appreciate the help and coming out on a rainy Sunday!

About us

A local Lithgow mechanic who's into cars, not just fixing them

Scoot's Automotive is Scott, a trade-qualified mechanic based in Lidsdale. There's no workshop to drop the car at, because we bring the workshop to you. Scott comes to you, whether that's a driveway in town, the work car park or a property out in the bush.

He's a car bloke through and through. His own Falcon G6E is turbocharged and runs on gas, built just to do something different. That same curiosity goes into working out what's actually wrong with yours.

We're a small local business and we're always looking for ways to make things easier for you. That's why there's tap & pay on the spot now, so you can settle up before we pack up.

“…we take pride in looking after our customers' vehicles because we genuinely care about their safety and reliability.” Scoot's Automotive
