Servicing Lonsdale For All
Your Mechanical Needs
Down South Car Repairs, your trusted family-run mechanics in Lonsdale. We have proudly kept South Australians safely on the road since 2000, beginning with founder Patrick McFadden and now led by husband-and-wife team Alex and Falon Perkins. Alex joined the workshop as a fresh apprentice in 2002, finishing school one day and picking up the tools the next, and two decades later he and Falon own the business together, bringing passion, experience and a customer-first approach that dealerships cannot match.

Services From Our Expert Team.
With three qualified technicians, two apprentices and a strong commitment to combining old-fashioned service with modern expertise, our workshop offers the best of both worlds: dealership-level skills with the personal care of a family business. Cars are more than just work for us; they are our lifestyle. From preparing vehicles for motorsport events to weekends spent at local meets, our passion for the industry shines through in everything we do. Customers often comment that walking into our workshop doesn’t feel like just another garage but more like family, with Alex and Falon’s young boys often found around the office sharing the same car enthusiasm.
