Expert car mechanics for Somerville drivers at our local Peninsula workshop. Honest diagnosis, transparent pricing, quality workmanship โ right here in Somerville.
Rodz Smart Auto's newer Peninsula workshop is right here in Somerville, bringing three generations of honest family mechanics โ since 1957 โ to the heart of the Mornington Peninsula. We're the local alternative to the bigger chains: same quality, real people, no upselling.

Right here in Somerville โ no long drives, no waiting. Quality car repairs on your doorstep for Somerville, Tyabb, Baxter, and surrounding Peninsula suburbs.
We won't recommend unnecessary work. If your car is fine, we'll say so โ even if it costs us a job.
Japanese, European, Korean, American โ we work on all makes and models, from modern computerised cars to older vehicles.
3 generations of mechanics since 1957. You'll deal with real people who genuinely care about doing the right thing by you โ not a rotating-staff franchise.

Head gaskets, oil leaks, overheating, poor performance and complete engine rebuilds. We diagnose the cause and fix it right the first time.

"Very thorough and fair, Howard has picked things up that would have cost a lot more later if missed! Great service and he explains everything. We moved interstate and the new mechanic commented on how well the car had been looked after. 10/10"
