Hunter Mechanical Perth
Jason's team is repeatedly called in to fix suspension, wiring and installs that other workshops got wrong.
The clearest thing is that Hunter Mechanical gets a lot of repeat and referral business from 4x4 owners, especially LandCruiser drivers, and several reviews specifically say they fixed work another workshop had botched. A few one star and three star reviews sit alongside the five star ones in recent months, mostly around rushed bar installs or missed callbacks, so it is not all perfect. Most of those same reviews acknowledge the team was happy to take the vehicle back and try again. If you are getting a full build or GVM upgrade, ask which technician will handle the job and confirm the finish details before pickup. For servicing, diagnostics or last minute repairs before a trip, the reviews point to a crew that will fit you in and keep you updated along the way.

About Hunter Mechanical Perth
Hunter Mechanical in Kenwick is a one stop shop for Toyota 4x4 upgrades, servicing and repairs, with a particular focus on GVM upgrades and suspension work. Jason runs the show and is the person reviewers call when something goes wrong, like a 200 Series dropping into limp mode towing a caravan on a long weekend. Nat, Ash, Tyler, Kyle, Kade and Chloe are the names that keep coming up for quotes, build updates, wiring and workshop organisation. Multiple reviews mention the team fixing previous garages' work, including electrical rework that was 'streets ahead' of the poor installation they inherited. They stock Jmacx and Alpha gear in-house, so suspension, GVM and diff upgrades get done without sending vehicles elsewhere. The workshop gets praised as spotless and well organised, which matters when you are trusting someone with a full build. They also have a Karratha location, and a couple of reviews mention being fitted in while travelling, including a split fuel filler emergency. For a Perth-based 4x4 owner with a LandCruiser or similar, this is the kind of place you hear about through word of mouth before you ever see their sticker on someone's back window.
Best for Toyota 4x4 owners wanting GVM and suspension upgrades, full accessory fitouts, and reliable servicing from a workshop that fixes other garages' mistakes.

Does Hunter Mechanical specialise in any particular type of vehicle?+
Reviews are almost entirely 4x4 focused, with Toyota LandCruisers (200 Series, 79 Series and 300 Series) mentioned more than any other. They also work on Rangers, D Maxes, Prados and Ram utes. GVM upgrades, Jmacx suspension and diff work appear in multiple reviews.
Can they handle a full build or just servicing?+
Full builds are their bread and butter. Reviewers list everything from bull bars and roof racks to long range fuel tanks, intercoolers, tunes and GVM upgrades done in-house. The workshop stocks Jmacx and Alpha gear, so parts do not need to go elsewhere.
Do they help travellers or people on a tight schedule?+
Yes. A traveller in Karratha was fitted in for a split fuel filler issue, and another review mentions a loan car while work was done. Multiple reviewers say the team got them in fast for urgent issues, including a 200 Series back on the road the same day after limp mode.
What do customers say about pricing and honesty?+
The consistent thread is that they give honest advice without pushing sales. One reviewer was told their vehicle issue would be covered under warranty elsewhere, and others say pricing is fair for the quality of work. They are not the cheapest shop in Perth, but reviews point to value rather than low cost.
Is the work quality consistent across the team?+
Mostly, but a couple of recent low star reviews mention bar installs needing a return trip for trim and fitment issues. The team took both vehicles back without argument. For complex fitouts, ask which tech will handle the job and check the finish before you drive away.
