Why Choose M&R for Your 4WD?
4WDs and off-road vehicles cope with tougher conditions than the average car, and they deserve a workshop that understands that. At M&R Auto Care, some of our team are 4WD enthusiasts themselves, so your vehicle is in the hands of people who genuinely get it.
We’re locally owned and operated right here in Sandgate, and we take pride in building long-term relationships with our customers. When you bring your 4WD to us, you’ll receive honest communication, a thorough written report, and work you can trust, whether you’re prepping for a big trip or just keeping up with routine maintenance.

4WD Servicing FAQs
Will servicing my 4WD with M&R void my new vehicle warranty?
No. Under Australian Consumer Law, you don’t have to service at the dealership to keep your new car warranty valid, you just need the work carried out to manufacturer specifications, with the right parts and fluids, by a qualified workshop. That’s exactly how we service every 4WD.
Can you fit accessories like snorkels and tow bars?
Yes. We regularly fit tow bars, snorkels and other touring accessories, and can advise on what suits your vehicle and how you’ll use it.
Do you set vehicles up for off-road touring and remote travel?
Yes. Before a big trip, we can check and set up your 4WD for the conditions ahead, including suspension and steering work, tyre and spare condition, fluids, and a full pre-trip inspection.
Do you service commercial utes and vans as well as 4WDs?
Yes. Alongside personal 4WDs, we look after tradie utes, vans and small business fleets, see our fleet vehicle maintenance page for details.
How often should I service my 4WD if I do a lot of off-road driving?
More often than the standard manufacturer schedule. Dust, water crossings and rough terrain put extra strain on filters, fluids and drivetrain components, so we’ll recommend an interval based on how and where you actually drive.
