Our specialist 4WD workshop is located at 2/27 Everist Rd, Ocean Grove, VIC 3226. Situated in the heart of the Bellarine, our facility is fully equipped to handle precision mechanical repairs and complex off-road builds that require a controlled environment and heavy-duty lifting equipment.

While Ben began as a mobile mechanic, we have shifted our focus to our Ocean Grove workshop. This allows for superior quality control, access to specialized diagnostic tools, and the ability to execute complex 4WD builds and electrical installs that simply cannot be performed to our high standards on a driveway.

No. Under Australian Consumer Law, you have the right to fit ADR-compliant aftermarket accessories. At Ben’s Off-Road, we use premium components that meet or exceed OEM standards, ensuring your factory warranty remains intact while your rig's performance is significantly improved.

 We specialize in the "Big Three" of the Australian touring market Toyota (LandCruiser/HiLux), Ford (Ranger/Everest), and Nissan (Patrol/Navara). However, our mechanical expertise and 12V custom engineering extend to all major 4WD brands, including Isuzu, Mitsubishi, and Jeep.

For reliable off-road touring, we recommend and install Lithium-based 12V systems integrated with DC-DC chargers from brands like Redarc or Victron. We customize every setup from simple fridge circuits to full canopy power management to ensure you never run out of juice at a remote campsite.

Absolutely. While we are the Bellarine's 4WD specialists, we are licensed mechanics first. We provide honest, dealer-alternative logbook servicing for all passenger cars and SUVs, ensuring your daily driver receives the same "built-by-enthusiasts" attention to detail as our off-road rigs.

We primarily supply and fit high-quality parts that we know and trust. By supplying the parts, we can offer a full nationwide warranty on both the component and our workmanship. We generally discourage "customer-supplied" parts to ensure every build meets our strict safety and reliability standards.

A comprehensive canopy and 12V electrical build typically takes 5 to 10 business days, depending on the complexity of the custom wiring and storage solutions. We prioritize quality over speed to ensure every wire is fused, loomed, and tested for the harshest corrugated tracks.

We are open Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. To give your project the focus it deserves, build consultations are available by appointment. We can occasionally arrange Saturday morning consultations for clients travelling from outside the Geelong/Bellarine region—contact us to discuss your schedule.

The difference is simple: we are built by enthusiasts, not salespeople. When you call us, you speak to the person actually working on your car. We don't sell "off-the-shelf" kits; we engineer custom solutions based on real-world experience on the tracks, ensuring you get a rig that works, not just looks the part.
