What we work on
Car, 4WD, truck and diesel mechanic in Seaford
If it's got an engine and it's not running right, it's probably something we look after. Here's the work that comes through the shed most weeks.
Diesel repairs
Diesels are half our name. Injectors, turbos, sludged-up intakes and EGR problems, down to a full engine replacement when that's what it takes. If yours is down on power with a light on, bring it in.
Warning lights and diagnostics
A light up on the dash, a van that won't come out of park, a noise that wasn't there last week. We'll find out what's actually going on before anything gets replaced.
Brakes, suspension and inspections
Brakes sounding strange or the car not sitting right? We'll check the brakes and suspension and tell you what needs doing now and what can wait.
Trucks, vans and motorhomes
Isuzu trucks, Sprinters and Ford Transit chassis motorhomes all come through the shed. If you need a service before you head off on a trip, give us a ring.
Plant and equipment, with a field service
Excavators, skid steers and directional drills get the same attention as the cars. For plant and equipment we also offer a field service, so the job can come to the machine.
Not sure if it's something we do? It probably is. Ask us.

Why people stick with us
A Seaford mechanic who gives you a straight answer
Most people dread the phone call from the mechanic. We'd like ours to be the one you don't mind getting.
01
A straight answer
We'll tell you what the problem is, what needs fixing now and what can wait. You won't get a list of extras the car doesn't need.
02
Cars to machinery, one shed
The family car, the work ute, the truck and the digger can all come to the same people. Diesel's in our name for a reason, it isn't a sideline.
03
A family business
We're a small, family-owned workshop, not a chain. You're dealing with the owners, and the owner's the one on the tools.

The shed
Our workshop on Farrow Circuit, Seaford
You'll find us at Unit 3, 23 Farrow Circuit, in among the Seaford industrial units. It's a big, high shed with hoists, scissor lifts and plenty of floor space.
About us
A Seaford family workshop since 2019
Seaford Automotive & Diesel is Matt and Stacey's family business. We opened the doors in April 2019, and Matt's the mechanic you'll be dealing with on the tools.
We work on just about anything with an engine, from first cars to Patrols and from Isuzu trucks to excavators, and we'd rather explain a problem than leave you guessing.
We stock Century batteries too, so ask us if yours is on the way out.
Reviews
What our customers say
“Matt did a great job on my Isuzu Mu-x today, sorting out the front brakes and carrying out an inspection. He also replaced the injectors late last year. Both times the work was done professionally, and everything has been running really well since.”
“I also appreciated your honest assessment of what needs to be done in the future.”
“Matt is a lovely chap. It is hard to find businesses that will work on Ford Transit chassis Motorhomes. Particularly suspension related. Lucky to find this company that rectified our suspension issue and will now do all our motorhome maintenance”
“Matt and his team were fantastic. They fitted me in as I needed a service on my truck before I could continue my travels. Great service, professional and well priced.”
“its hard nowdays to find a tradesperson that you can trust. The Guys at Seaford Automotive & Diesel are the best i have dealt with in a lot of years.”
“Matt is always pretty helpful and happy to discuss issues with the vehicle after service.”
