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

Smithton, far north west Tasmania
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
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.

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
The bread and butter. All makes and models, with a leaning towards Toyota.
Servicing and repairs across every make and model that comes through the roller door.
Regassing and repairs carried out under air conditioning licence AU39643.
Inspections signed off on site under AIS S278, so the car does not need to leave town for one.
Glass swapped out here rather than a trip up the highway to Burnie.
Fitted, balanced and pointed straight, which matters on Circular Head back roads.
New rubber fitted and balanced on the machine in the workshop.
Alignment set properly so the tyres you just paid for last as long as they should.
A parts shop as well as a workshop, so you can walk in and buy the bit yourself.
Shelves of spares out the front, sold over the counter to anyone who wants them.
Manufacturer parts ordered in when only the genuine item will do.
Aftermarket alternatives when the genuine part is overkill for the job.
A car to keep you going while yours is in, subject to availability.
Set up to look after work vehicles and fleets, not just the family car.
Interest free finance available so a big bill can be spread out.

Diesels
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.

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

Can’t recommend highly enough adjusted my rear brakes on short notice, same day I drove into town , Thank you again Karen much appreciated
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!!!!
