Vintage & Specialty Vehicle Servicing Perth
About Vintage & Specialty Vehicle Servicing
Vintage and specialty vehicles require a different approach. These cars often come with unique parts, delicate systems, and specific needs that modern workshops simply aren’t used to handling. At Oceans, we take our time — no rushed jobs, no guesswork — just skilled, hands-on servicing backed by decades of experience.
We’re equipped to service pre-electronic vehicles, carburettors, manual systems, and retrofitted mods. Whether your vehicle is all-original or heavily modified, we’ll assess its condition, identify any wear, and ensure everything is performing the way it should.
The Process
Servicing vintage and specialty vehicles takes more than just mechanical skill — it requires patience, respect, and an understanding of how older or custom-built systems work. Here’s how we handle every job with care at Oceans Automotive:
Initial Walkthrough & Discussion
We begin by talking with you about the vehicle’s history, condition, known quirks, and how it’s used — whether it’s driven regularly, shown occasionally, or in long-term restoration.
Tailored Inspection
We don’t rely on cookie-cutter checklists. Instead, we inspect each system based on the age and configuration of your vehicle — from carburettors and vacuum systems to drum brakes and manual steering.
Parts Assessment & Sourcing
If something needs replacing, we assess whether it can be restored, matched with an OEM part, or replaced with a quality aftermarket option — always with your approval first.
Careful Servicing & Adjustments
Servicing is carried out slowly and precisely, using the right tools and techniques for the vehicle. We make careful adjustments to preserve originality or support modern upgrades as needed.
Testing & Fine-Tuning
Once servicing is complete, we test the vehicle in controlled conditions, adjusting timing, idle, or tuning until everything runs smoothly and reliably.
Report & Ongoing Advice
You’ll receive a summary of what we’ve done, anything to monitor, and helpful advice on maintaining your classic or custom vehicle between visits — no pressure, just support.
4x4 Towing Transfers Available
We understand that not every vintage vehicle is road-ready. That’s why we offer towing transfers across Perth for specialty cars that can’t make it to us under their own power. We’ll handle your vehicle with care from pick-up to drop-off.
FAQs
Yes — we’re experienced in servicing and tuning carburettors, older ignition systems, and non-computerised vehicles.
