Meet Dave

Your Local Mechanic in Forest Grove.

I’m the owner of Forest Grove Mechanical, and I’ve been working on cars, 4WDs, and machinery for over 20 years — and I still genuinely love what I do. There’s something satisfying about getting a vehicle running right and knowing it’s been done properly.

I’m fully qualified in both light and heavy diesel mechanics, and I run a small, family-owned workshop on the farm where I was born and raised, just south of Witchcliffe. It’s the kind of place where you’ll get honest, down-to-earth service without the upsell.

It’s no-fuss, mechanical work — the way it should be. Whether it’s your daily driver, your work ute, or something a bit older that needs some care, I’ll treat it like it’s my own.
