Mechanic and tyre shop for Gilston

Gilston shares Nerang's postcode and its boundary, and the run in follows Gilston Road the whole way. No competitor in the area targets Gilston specifically, which says more about their page-building than about the suburb.

West of Gilston the roads climb toward Advancetown, Hinze Dam and the Nerang National Park. That is unsealed-road and steep-descent country, and it is hard on tyres, brakes and suspension — three of the categories a safety certificate inspection assesses.

If a car spends time on gravel, sidewall damage matters more than tread depth. A cut or a bulge in a sidewall cannot be repaired, and it is an immediate fail. Worth getting looked at before you need the certificate rather than on the day.
