One workshop in Buchan, serving drivers across the valley and the wider East Gippsland region.
Buchan Valley Garage is based in Buchan and welcomes customers from surrounding East Gippsland communities, including Orbost, Lakes Entrance and Bairnsdale. There is one workshop, at 2 Main Rd in Buchan, and all work is carried out there.
If you are travelling in from another town, contact the workshop before you set out. That way the day, the parts and the time required are all confirmed in advance, and you make one trip instead of two.
All servicing and repairs happen at the Buchan workshop — we do not operate branches elsewhere.
Buchan Valley Garage is based at 2 Main Rd, Buchan. This is the only workshop; every job, from a routine service to diesel repair work, is carried out here.
For Buchan residents that means a local workshop for servicing, mechanical repairs, diagnostics and tyres without driving out of the valley. Drop in during workshop hours, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, or send the details through first so parts can be organised.
Orbost sits on the far side of the Snowy River flats, and plenty of Orbost vehicles already travel the Buchan road. If you are coming from that direction, it is worth combining jobs into one visit — a service, a tyre check and any outstanding repair in the same appointment.
Farm utes, diesel four-wheel drives and work vehicles from the Orbost district make up a good share of the workshop's diesel and diagnostic work. Send the vehicle details and the fault through the contact form and we will confirm what is needed before you travel.
Lakes Entrance vehicles tend to cover a mix of short local trips, towing and coastal running. Short trips are hard on batteries and on diesel particulate filters, and salt air is hard on brake and suspension components — all things worth checking at service time.
If you tow a boat or van, ask about a pre-tow check covering tyres, brakes, suspension load and cooling before the season starts. Contact the workshop first so a suitable day is set aside for the drive up.
Bairnsdale motorists who want a smaller independent workshop, with the same person following the job through, are welcome to arrange servicing and repairs at Buchan.
Because it is a planned trip rather than a quick drop-in, it pays to get everything booked in one hit: scheduled servicing, any diagnostic work for a warning light, and tyres if they are due. Confirm the date and the work by phone or through the contact form first.
Logbook servicing, routine maintenance and general mechanical repairs.
Diesel servicing, filters, turbo, DPF and fuel system work.
Warning lights, intermittent faults and electrical fault finding.
Tyre supply and fitting, balancing, rotation and puncture checks.
Send your vehicle details and preferred day, and we'll confirm what suits the workshop's workload.
