Inside the Fahey Motors workshop in Smithton, three hoists in use with cars in the air and the Fahey Motors ute parked alongside

Smithton, far north west Tasmania

The workshop on
Montagu Road.

Mechanical repairs, tyres and wheel alignments, air conditioning and a parts counter, all under one roof in the middle of town. All makes and models, with a soft spot for Toyotas.

One stop, one street

A workshop and a parts shop, in the same building.

Fahey Motors sits at 35 Montagu Road, Smithton. We fit and balance tyres, do wheel alignments, and handle general mechanical repairs. We are a licenced air conditioning repairer and an authorised inspection station, so most of what a car needs gets sorted here rather than sent up the coast.

We specialise in Toyota vehicles but look after all makes and models. Interest free finance and courtesy cars are available, subject to availability.

The shelves out the front are a genuine parts counter as well. If you would rather do the job yourself, come in and buy the part over the counter.

The parts counter at Fahey Motors, shelves of spares and framed certificates on the wall

Spares, filters, plugs and batteries on the shelf out the front. Walk in and buy the part, or leave the car with us.

What we do

Twelve things, one roller door.

In the workshop

The bread and butter. All makes and models, with a leaning towards Toyota.

General Mechanical Repairs

Servicing and repairs across every make and model that comes through the roller door.

Licenced Air Conditioning Repairs

Regassing and repairs carried out under air conditioning licence AU39643.

Authorised Inspection Station

Inspections signed off on site under AIS S278, so the car does not need to leave town for one.

Windscreen Replacements

Glass swapped out here rather than a trip up the highway to Burnie.

Tyres and alignment

Fitted, balanced and pointed straight, which matters on Circular Head back roads.

Tyre Fitting And Balancing

New rubber fitted and balanced on the machine in the workshop.

Wheel Alignments

Alignment set properly so the tyres you just paid for last as long as they should.

Over the counter

A parts shop as well as a workshop, so you can walk in and buy the bit yourself.

Spare Part Sales

Shelves of spares out the front, sold over the counter to anyone who wants them.

Genuine Parts Supply

Manufacturer parts ordered in when only the genuine item will do.

Aftermarket Parts Supply

Aftermarket alternatives when the genuine part is overkill for the job.

And the bits that make it possible

Courtesy Car

A car to keep you going while yours is in, subject to availability.

Fleet Service Provider

Set up to look after work vehicles and fleets, not just the family car.

Interest Free Finance

Interest free finance available so a big bill can be spread out.

Two diesel intake manifold ports opened up on the bench, thick with carbon build up

Diesels

BG diesel inlet clean.

That photo is a real inlet off a real car, and the black ring is soot that has been building up for years. On a modern diesel it chokes the airflow long before anything shows on the dash. The BG inlet clean is one of the services we offer, and it is not something every country workshop is set up to do.

If your diesel feels flat, or it is drinking more than it used to, give us a ring and we will have a look at it.

Inside the shed

What comes through the door.

Work utes, tourists passing through, a Targa car and the odd Porsche. It all goes on the same hoists.

Colin was fantastic! I rang him explaining the problem and he said he would check it. He fixed the problem within 10 mins after putting the car on the hoist. I wanted to show my appreciation and pay him more than the $20 he requested! Such a nice guy and fantastic service shown to a tourist visiting Tasmania!!!!
