The Work
Straightforward Servicing, No Surprises
At SJB Mechanical, we're the mechanics Cairns locals turn to for honest, straightforward work on all makes and models, with a particular passion for the Toyota Hilux and other 4WDs. Scott works alongside his dad in the garage, and together they've built the business on nearly two decades of hands-on experience. If a job isn't worth doing, or a vehicle needs more than a service, we'll say so rather than push work you don't need. Sometimes that means recommending another workshop, or being upfront that a new vehicle makes more sense than another repair.
We publish our pricing upfront, so you know the cost before we start. Most of our customers find us through word of mouth across Cairns, and we'd like the chance to earn yours too.

The Services
What we take on
Logbook Servicing
We carry out manufacturer logbook servicing on all makes and models, using the correct parts and procedures to protect your warranty. It's straightforward, transparent servicing with no unnecessary upsells.
Vehicle Diagnostics
Using modern diagnostic equipment, we get to the bottom of dashboard warning lights and unexplained faults quickly. You'll get a straight answer before any work goes ahead.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Before you commit to a used car, ute or 4WD, we'll check it over so you're not taking on someone else's problem. It's especially useful if you're eyeing off a Hilux or another 4WD.
Brake & Clutch Repairs
Our brake and clutch repairs use quality parts and are treated as safety-critical work, not something to put off. We check every job carefully before handing your vehicle back.
Engine & Transmission
From diagnostics to full rebuilds, we handle major engine and transmission repairs with access to a trusted network of quality parts. Bigger jobs are handled without the long wait for componentry.
Diesel Servicing
We service diesel engines regularly, from routine maintenance to tracking down issues like excess smoke or a loss of power. Our 4WD and DPF service is built around real diesel expertise, not a generic check-up.
Steering & Suspension
Steering and suspension work is one of our strengths, including 4WD suspension upgrades and lift kits for those who take their vehicle further afield. We'll help you find the right setup for how you actually drive.
The Difference
Why Choose Us?
Cairns drivers want a mechanic who tells them the truth, not just one who takes their money. That's the standard we hold ourselves to on every logbook service, diagnostic and repair we carry out.
We're a genuine family operation, growing steadily with an apprentice set to join full-time once he finishes school, and we've built our reputation across Cairns one referral at a time. Whether you're keeping a family car running smoothly or preparing your Hilux for the next four-wheel drive trip, we treat every job with the same care.
