Qualified Mechanic (Light / Heavy Vehicle)

Skilton Truck Repairs

Skilton Truck Repairs is an independent workshop based in Fernhill, NSW, specialising in Japanese trucks, along with a mix of light vehicles and utes.

We are currently hiring for the workshop, and we are looking for a capable, reliable mechanic who wants to be part of something solid long-term.

- Monday to Friday: 8:00am – 4:30pm

- On-site parking available

What You’ll Be Doing:

- Carrying jobs through from start to finish
- Diagnosing faults and working through problems
- Managing your own workflow and maintaining a high standard of work
- Communicating clearly with the owner and, where needed, customers
- Helping keep the workshop organised, clean and set up for the next day

What We’re Looking:

- Trade qualified mechanic
- HR licence

- Is proactive and can think for themselves
- Takes ownership of their work
- Holds themselves to a good standard
- Wants to be part of a respectful, no-drama team environment
- Is willing to learn, adapt, and contribute positively

What You Can Expect From Us

- A workshop with high standards and a better future in mind
- Direct communication with the owner
- A chance to have real input into how things are done

We’re starting a new journey here at Skilton Truck Repairs, and this YouTube channel is our way of opening the roller door and letting you in.

Every day we’re in the workshop diagnosing problems, pulling things apart, and putting them back together properly, and we want to show you what really goes on behind the scenes.

Mechanics have a bad wrap in this industry, and honestly, we get it. That’s why our goal with this channel is trust and transparency.

We want you to see exactly what we do, why we do it, and how much effort actually goes into doing a job right.

Along the way, we hope to share what we’ve learned, teach people a few things, entertain you, and maybe even inspire others in the trade.

We’re mostly doing this because we enjoy it. We love what we do, and we care about doing things properly. But there’s also a bigger reason, we want people to feel more confident about where they take their vehicles, and to feel like they actually know their mechanic.

We put time into each video to make it as good as we can, and you’ll see the quality grow as we do.

If any of this resonates with you, we’d love you to come along for the ride and be part of this journey with us!

The Fuso Canter Duonic transmission.

In the last two weeks alone, Josh has replaced two of these Duonic transmissions, both failing as a direct result of poor maintenance.

The Duonic transmission is a sophisticated automated manual transmission, it’s basically a manual transmission, operating without a clutch pedal or gear stick.

Instead, gear shifting is managed by advanced computers and actuators.

Due to the complexity of the Duonic transmission, it is vital that they are serviced regularly and by an experienced technician.

If you are looking to have your Duonic transmission service by a professional, or you are noticing issues and require diagnosis, feel free to reach out to us.

For all your Fuso Canter Duonic transmission needs, call us on 0452117272 or visit us at 45 Pringle Road, Fernhill, 2519.

As the weather starts to warm, it's important to make sure your vehicle is ready.

Vehicle overheating is responsible for nearly 25% of breakdowns in NSW, according to a UNSW rCITI study that reviewed over 90,000 cases.

Caleb inspected this Hino 500 Series radiator for blockages during a service.

He found heavy blockage in the cooling fins due to road grime and bugs. Over time, this buildup can block the flow of air through the radiator, preventing it from cooling the engine effectively, potentially leading to a costly breakdown.

Caleb’s successful repair has prevented this vehicle from potentially overheating. Well done Caleb!

This is just one of 60 to 100 individual inspection and service points conducted during our heavy vehicle services.

For preventative maintenance, such as preventing overheating issues, give us a call on 0452 117 272 or visit us at 45 Pringle Road, Fernhill, NSW, 2519.

This Hino 700 Series was struggling to build system air pressure. It was also gradually depleting pressure over time.

Josh diagnosed this issue as a faulty system protection valve. He then removed and replaced the valve, tested the system and comfirmed the repair.
