FAQ

  • Q. Can you fix the air-conditioning in my 4WD or passenger vehicle?

    A. Yes, we can! We can check, repair and replace:


    • Refrigerant leaks
    • Drive belt tension
    • Faulty compressors
    • Mounting brackets
  • Q. What is weed and seed washing?

    A. For all vehicles in Queensland, it is important to ensure that it is free of any undeclared plants according to the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002. The agricultural and tourism industries have suffered losses of more than $600 million dollars due to the spreading of weeds, with poorly cleaned vehicles often being blamed. A weed and seed wash helps prevent the spread of invasive weeds. This involves the cleaning and inspection of the:


    • Interior
    • Boot
    • Engine bay
    • Underside
    • Spare tyre—external
    • Trays
    • Toolboxes
    • Storage compartments

    Some properties and work sites will require you to provide a Hygiene Declaration or a Vehicle Hygiene Inspection Report upon entry. If your 4WD has been on an unsealed road, book a weed and seed service at our workshop today.

  • Q. Why hire a 4WD?

    A. The costs of owning a 4WD—registration, fuel, repairs, modifications and maintenance—can add up over time. If you only need it for touring the outback terrain of Mount Isa or a specific job, hiring a 4x4 may be more cost-effective. We have the latest Toyota models available for hire.
