Encounter Cars & More

Welcome to Encounter Cars & More, a trusted car repair establishment and point of interest located at Lindemans Road, Lowood, Australia. Our dedicated team of skilled professionals is committed to providing top-notch services to our valued customers.

At Encounter Cars & More, we pride ourselves on our expertise in car repairs and maintenance. Our spray booths are currently undergoing renovations and are expected to be completed in the next month or two. This will further enhance our capabilities and allow us to deliver even better results for our clients.

One of our current projects involves the repair of a 2009 Kia Grand Carnival. While the vehicle has some minor panel damage, the main issue lies in the engine. Unfortunately, the engine was starved of oil due to a mishap caused by a previous mechanic. However, our team is working diligently to rectify the situation and restore the vehicle to its optimal condition.

We are also making significant progress on a Ford Trader Tow vehicle. The cab has been beautifully painted, and we are in the process of reassembling the vehicle with new indicators and mirrors. Once we complete a full service and safety check, the Ford Trader Tow vehicle will be ready to be back in service for its owner.

In addition to repairs, we also offer customization services. Recently, we rejuvenated a set of mags by applying a custom mix of colors and three coats of clear. These mags will soon be fitted onto a rare Holden HSV XU6, one of only 171 ever built. Stay tuned for photos of the completed project!

One of our ongoing endeavors is the restoration of "George," a VW Up. After completing rust repairs, we will be combining the 69 body with a 2012 chassis, utilizing various components to create a unique and powerful vehicle. Our plan includes potentially fitting a 2-liter turbocharged engine to "George" once the restoration is complete.

Despite some weather setbacks, we are making progress on a Ford truck that is currently in primer and guide coat. Our team is working diligently to ensure its timely completion, so the customer can get it back into service as soon as possible.

We also handle larger projects, such as the repair and transportation of an excavator. After successfully completing the necessary repairs, we loaded the excavator onto a low loader and sent it to Brisbane for its first post-repair job. The owner has since taken delivery of the repaired excavator, and it has been delivered to the job site, ready to go back into service today.

Lastly, we take pride in helping our customers find affordable solutions. Currently, we are working on remanufacturing the drivelines of a couple of V6 automatic Kia Grand Carnivals. These vehicles were purchased at a lower price due to mechanical issues, allowing our customers to own a vehicle that would normally be out of their price range.

At Encounter Cars & More, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional service and ensuring customer satisfaction. Whether it's repairing, customizing, or restoring vehicles, our team is equipped with the skills and expertise to meet your needs.
