European vehicles are engineered to a standard that rewards precision—and punishes shortcuts. That’s why motorists across Coffs Harbour turn to Mills-Thom's Mechanical Repairs when their Land Rover, Audi or Volkswagen needs expert attention. Our workshop pairs European‑specific knowledge with the latest diagnostic technology to keep every drive as refined as the day the car left the factory.

Specialists in Land Rover, Audi & VW and all Euro Vehicles

Membership of Australia’s leading Auto‑Tech training program means our technicians receive continual updates on the newest European platforms, software and service schedules. From online service resets to coding new components, we maintain each vehicle exactly as the manufacturer intended.

Factory‑Level Diagnostics & Auto‑Tech Know‑How

Whether it’s a turbo‑diesel Discovery or supercharged Range Rover V8, we understand the intricacies of Terrain Response systems, variable‑geometry turbos and electronically controlled air suspension. You get assured off‑road reliability and on‑road comfort—without dealership pricing.

Land Rover: Rugged Luxury, Properly Maintained

Vorsprung durch Technik (Advantage through technology). From TFSI direct‑injection engines to S‑tronic dual‑clutch gearboxes, Audi’s performance technology demands specialist lubrication, accurate timing equipment and scan‑tool updates. We protect your quattro grip and premium ride quality with genuine‑grade components fitted right the first time.

Audi: Vorsprung durch Technik, Serviced with Care

DSG transmissions, BlueMotion efficiency packages and adaptive dampers are no mystery to our team. Routine servicing with factory‑spec oils and software calibrations keeps Volkswagens—from Polos to Amaroks—running smoothly and economically for the long haul.

Regular tune‑ups, carbon‑clean treatments and (when needed) complete overhauls safeguard power, efficiency and emissions. We use dealership‑level tooling to measure compression, balance injectors and program new ECU updates, preventing costly failures later on.

Every auto, DSG or CVT service includes fluid analysis, filter replacement, adaptation resets and an extensive road test. Early intervention avoids harsh shifts, delayed engagement and expensive rebuilds.

Our suspension inspections cover shock absorbers, strut mounts, control‑arm bushes and air‑ride compressors. Correcting alignment and damping issues improves tyre wear, steering response and—most importantly—safety on Australia’s varied roads.

All repairs use quality OEM‑equivalent or genuine parts and are protected by a nationwide warranty honoured at hundreds of affiliated workshops across Australia, giving you confidence on every journey.

Experience workshop transparency, friendly advice and true specialist workmanship. Book your Land Rover, Audi or Volkswagen with Mills-Thom's Mechanical Repairs in Coffs Harbour today and feel the difference on your very next drive.

Book Your Car Service Early for a Safe Holiday Trip

Easter is a time of joy, family gatherings, and for many Australians, a chance to enjoy the long weekend with a well-deserved getaway or a relaxing staycation. Whether you're planning to hit the road for an extended holiday or just navigate through the school holiday bustle, ensuring your car is in top condition is essential. As the Easter period approaches, it’s no surprise that many mechanical workshops experience a significant increase in bookings. To avoid the stress of last-minute servicing or the disappointment of missing out, it’s wise to plan ahead and book your car in for a service early.

Regular car servicing is not just about ticking a box; it’s a critical aspect of maintaining your vehicle's safety, reliability, and overall performance. With Easter still a little way off, now is the perfect time to schedule your service before the seasonal rush takes hold. Ensuring your car is prepared well in advance will give you peace of mind, knowing you’re ready for whatever the holidays may bring—be it a long road trip or simply getting around town.

The importance of regular servicing cannot be overstated, particularly if you’re gearing up for holiday travel. Comprehensive car servicing addresses a wide range of mechanical and safety aspects, giving you confidence behind the wheel. Key tasks typically include oil and filter changes, brake inspections, and ensuring all essential fluids, such as coolant and transmission fluid, are topped up. Tyres are also checked for wear and proper inflation, which is crucial for maintaining grip and stability on the road. Additionally, your car's suspension and steering systems are assessed to ensure smooth handling and safety, particularly on longer journeys.

Beyond the basics, regular servicing also allows mechanics to identify potential issues early, before they become costly or hazardous. A detailed inspection can uncover worn-out parts, such as belts or hoses, that may fail under the strain of long drives or heavy holiday traffic. For those who drive vehicles with air conditioning or LPG systems, servicing ensures these components are functioning efficiently and safely, saving you from unexpected breakdowns or discomfort during the warmer months.

If you’re planning to head out of town over the Easter weekend, the last thing you want is to face car trouble far from home. That’s why investing in a thorough vehicle check-up is essential. Even if your plans are more local, the busy nature of school holiday traffic means your car needs to be in peak condition to handle the extra demands. From ensuring your brakes are responsive to making sure your tyres are ready for both wet and dry conditions, preparation is key to a stress-free holiday.

Mills-Thom's Mechanical Repairs is authorised to inspect and issue RMS Pink Slips, synonymous with E-Safety Checks, and Blue Slips designed to ensure vehicles meet the mandated safety standards for operation on NSW roads.

A Pink Slip is essentially a safety inspection report, evidencing that a vehicle has passed all required safety checks for roadworthiness. It's a requisite for vehicles over five years old that are due for registration renewal in NSW. The term Pink Slip originates from the historical colour of the paper it was printed on, although the actual inspection report these days is often delivered electronically, transitioning to what is now referred to as an E-Safety Check.

E-Safety Checks delve into examining crucial components of a vehicle including brakes, tyres, seatbelts, lights, and exhaust systems to name a few, ensuring they conform to the safety criteria laid out by RMS. If a vehicle successfully passes the inspection, the information is electronically submitted to RMS by the inspector. Consequently, vehicle owners can then proceed to renew their vehicle's registration online or in person.

However, if a vehicle fails to meet the required standards, it results in a fail report, compelling owners to repair all listed defects and seek a re-inspection. Vehicle owners are granted a 14-day period to rectify defects and present their vehicle for a reinspection.

Vehicle owners in NSW are obligated to obtain a Pink Slip/E-Safety Check for their vehicles more than five years old annually, to renew their vehicle registration. By partnering with Mills-Thom's Mechanical Repairs for these inspections, vehicle owners can ensure a hassle-free compliance process with RMS requirements, maintaining the safety and legality of their vehicles on NSW roads. 

A report known as the Blue Slip Inspection ensures that an unregistered vehicle meets safety, design, and identity standards. This inspection is necessary for vehicles without NSW license plates or those purchased from out of state. A Blue Slip serves as a Roadworthy and Safety Inspection report and must be obtained prior to registering the vehicle in NSW. Additionally, a Blue Slip may be required for record adjustments, defect clearances, or for vehicles that have been unregistered for more than 90 days.

As an Authorised Unregistered Vehicle Inspection Scheme (AUVIS) Inspection Station in Coffs Harbour, Mills-Thom's Mechanical Repairs are certified to provide (AUVIS) Inspections, or “Blue Slips” as they are commonly known.

If you need your E-Safety Check (Pink Slip), or Blue Slip, call us today or use our handy booking form below to get started.
