Call (03) 9775 1133 — Tasmanian Enquiries Welcome
All repairs are completed in-house at our Carrum Downs workshop — never outsourced, regardless of where you post from.
Most Suitable Repairs Completed and Dispatched Within One Business Day
Most suitable mail-in seatbelt repairs are completed and dispatched within one business day of receiving the belt and confirming customer approval and payment. More complex repairs may require additional time — we'll advise before proceeding.
Fast Workshop Turnaround — We Keep You Informed at Every Step
Once your seatbelt arrives and we've confirmed the repair pathway and cost with you, work begins promptly. Bass Strait transit time is separate from our workshop turnaround and is outside our control.
Completed repairs tagged and ready for dispatch. Applicable functions are checked before packing.
Tasmania to Carrum Downs — What to Plan For
Unlike a local workshop visit, a Tasmanian mail-in repair involves freight across Bass Strait in both directions. For that reason, we separate workshop turnaround from carrier transit time.
Workshop Turnaround
Once a suitable assembly reaches our Carrum Downs workshop and the repair is approved and paid, most suitable repairs are completed and dispatched within one business day.
Bass Strait Freight
The total time without the seatbelt will also depend on freight from Tasmania to Victoria and the return journey. Bass Strait transit times vary by carrier and are outside our control.
Planning Around an Inspection or Booking?
Allow for freight time in both directions rather than relying only on our workshop turnaround. Call us before posting and we'll explain the current process and realistic timeframes.
Call Before Posting
Call (03) 9775 1133 first. We'll confirm suitability, advise what to send, and give you the workshop address. This also means we're expecting your parcel and can process it promptly on arrival.
Customers can use the same mail-in process whether they're posting from Hobart, Launceston, Devonport, Burnie or regional Tasmania. The repair itself is completed at our Carrum Downs workshop in Victoria — the Tasmanian location only affects the freight journey.
Pay Over the Phone — Simple, Fast, No Fuss
Once we've inspected your seatbelt and confirmed the repair, we call you with a quote. You approve it, pay over the phone, and we get straight into it.
How Payment Works
We quote you before we start. Repair begins after payment is confirmed — keeping your workshop turnaround as tight as possible.

Tasmania Mail-In Repairs — Common Questions
How long does the whole process take from Tasmania?
Most suitable repairs are completed and dispatched within one business day of receiving the belt and confirming payment. Bass Strait freight adds to transit time in both directions and is outside our control. Call us before posting for a realistic estimate based on current carrier times and workload.
Do I need to call before I post?
Yes — always call first on (03) 9775 1133. This confirms the repair is appropriate before you pay postage, and means we're expecting your parcel so we can process it promptly on arrival.
How do I remove the seatbelt before posting?
The assembly must be removed before posting. If you're not comfortable — or the vehicle has SRS or pretensioner components — have it removed by a qualified repairer. Call us before posting and we'll advise on exactly which components to send.
How do I pay from Tasmania?
After inspecting your seatbelt, we call you with a confirmed repair cost. You pay by credit or debit card over the phone. Receipt emailed after payment, tracking details sent on dispatch.
What does the $19 flat rate cover?
$19 covers return postage from our Carrum Downs workshop to your Tasmanian address, regardless of how many seatbelts are in the same order. You arrange and pay your own postage to send the seatbelt to us.
What if my seatbelt isn't repairable?
If we inspect your seatbelt and find it isn't suitable for repair, we'll call you and explain why. We won't recommend a repair that isn't appropriate — we'll always be upfront.
Can I send multiple seatbelts in one parcel?
Yes. Sending multiple seatbelts together reduces your outbound postage cost and the return post remains $19 flat rate regardless of quantity. Call first to let us know.
Do you repair seatbelts from all vehicle types?
Cars, 4WDs, utes, vans, campervans, motorhomes, classic vehicles and commercial vans. Call before posting if unsure whether your specific assembly is suitable.
Will my repaired seatbelt pass a Tasmanian vehicle inspection?
All rewebbing uses webbing that Meets AS/NZS 2596 Standards and applicable operating functions are checked before dispatch. The final determination on vehicle inspection compliance is made by the licensed vehicle examiner in Tasmania. Call us to discuss your specific situation.
