Kununurra

A car? Truck? Combine harvester? Tug boat engine?

Top End Motors for mechanical and electrical work.
I went to them for some electrical work on the BT (new loom) and found them very good.
Wayne, the foreman has left but speak to Luke Robinson, the owner.
Btw, no affiliation.

Humpback, most of the service places in Kununurra are OK - the difficulty as we've found in the past is that they (quite rightfully) put their regular customers first, and the blow-ins go to the back of the queue.

If you have a fairly firm idea of when you'll be there, then book in at least 2-3 weeks in advance.

We've found it not unusual to be told to come back in 3-4 weeks if we want a service. Some are more flexible than others, and we've struck a couple of grumpy ones, however you can see their point - they get a bit fed up with Bert & Doris turning up on the door-step and expecting it to be done tomorrow.....

I would recommend you contact Vanderfield Toyota, Kununurra. They sell and service Toyotas and John Deere. I was there a few weeks ago and a mate had his vehicle serviced there. Good people to deal with - and do it with a smile.

Like others have suggested you should give plenty of notice as they are likely to be busy.

No affiliation, just impressed with people and service provided.

Not so impressed with Vanderfield Toyota, Katherine where I had my vehicle serviced.

The local Thrifty franchise at the airport was recommended to me by a manager of a caravan park, when my car was flat topped in from El Questro.

I found them very helpful and fitted me in and did agood job at a fair price.
They do outside work as well as their own mainly Toyota servicing.

G'day humpback,

East Kimberley Motors in Mango Street looked after us really well when we were passing through there.

Their mobile number is 0437 154 998. Might be worth a call.

Amazingly, there's no Ford dealer or authorised Ford repair centre in Kununurra - the nearest Ford agents are in Darwin (Hidden Valley Ford) or Broome (Broome Ford).

With a rare and complex vehicle such as the F450, you will find that no-one in Kununurra will stock any parts, including filters, for this model vehicle.
So you will be up for a wait, if you just rock up, and filters are required.

The alternative is to call ahead, and organise the business to get the necessary filters and maintenance items required, to be freighted in - or pick them up in Broome or Darwin, and carry them with you.

Road freight of any parts or maintenance items required will take several days, air freight will be within 48 hrs, but at much higher cost.

KDS Mechanical Repairs will be worth a call, they appear to be "tourist friendly" according to at least one happy campers feedback.
