Trusted EV Mechanic Aura
Aura is one of Australia’s fastest growing master-planned communities. And the diversity of vehicles on the roads of the Banya area continues to increase, as it does for roads all over the Sunshine Coast.
The EV mechanic Aura drivers turn to is Shane Murty, a Sunshine Coast auto mechanic with expertise in electric vehicle technologies, as well as in traditional petrol and diesel vehicles.
Only minutes from Aura, Murty’s Auto & EV Centre has become the trusted destination for independent car servicing and repair founded on 3 decades of professional experience. Our heavy hoist equipment and certified high-voltage isolation assets are permanently stationed at our central Caloundra West workshop.
Shane Murty has earned a well-deserved reputation locally for solving automotive problems quickly, no matter their complexity. His expertise in servicing sophisticated hybrid and fully electric models, as well as conventional petrol vehicles, is backed by an investment in advanced diagnostic equipment, ongoing technical training and specialist certification.
Convenient for Aura Residents
One of the biggest advantages for Aura residents is location. Murty’s Auto & EV Centre in Caloundra West, is only minutes from Banya and the expanding Aura community. This means specialist servicing available locally. No need for reliance on dealership servicing or travelling to Brisbane.

Logbook Servicing That Protects Your Warranty
Don’t fall into the trap that catches vehicle owners who mistakenly believe their manufacturer’s warranty requires logbook servicing at the dealership.
Scheduled logbook servicing can be done at qualified independent workshops under Australian Consumer Law. Preserving warranties is a straightforward matter of servicing the vehicles in line with manufacturers’ requirements.
Murty’s Auto & EV Centre follows manufacturer service schedules and specifications when performing logbook servicing on petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric vehicles, so your new car warranty will be 100% safe.

Why Modern Vehicles Require Specialist Knowledge
Today’s vehicles, including petrol and diesel models, are essentially computers on wheels. Electronic control modules manage engine performance, braking, battery systems, safety features, and driver assistance technologies.
Hybrid and electric vehicles introduce an additional level of complexity through high-voltage battery systems, regenerative braking, battery management software, inverter cooling systems and electric drive motors.
Electric and hybrid vehicles need preventative maintenance just as conventional vehicles do, however, the focus shifts from engine components to battery health, cooling systems, software diagnostics and high-voltage electrical systems.
These systems require specialised diagnostic equipment, certified safety procedures, and trained technicians who understand the interaction between mechanical and electrical components.
Why Battery Health Matters
The high-voltage battery represents the single largest investment in most electric vehicles. Its condition directly affects driving range, charging performance, efficiency and long-term vehicle value. Professional battery health assessments provide significantly more information than the simple range estimate displayed on the dashboard.
Each manufacturer uses different battery chemistry, software architecture and thermal management systems, making specialist diagnostic capability essential for accurate servicing.
At Murty’s Auto & EV Centre, battery diagnostics may include:
- State of Health (SOH) analysis
- Battery cell balancing assessment
- Individual cell voltage monitoring
- Battery temperature evaluation
- High-voltage safety inspections
- Battery Management System diagnostics
- Thermal management system assessment
- Manufacturer-level fault code analysis
These tests help identify developing issues before they become expensive repairs and provide owners with a clearer understanding of overall battery condition.
Advanced Automotive Diagnostics
Accurate diagnosis reduces unnecessary parts replacement and often saves customers significant repair costs.
Modern fault diagnosis extends well beyond reading engine warning lights. Professional diagnostic equipment communicates with multiple vehicle control modules to identify faults affecting:
- Engine management
- Transmission operation
- ABS braking systems
- Airbag and safety systems
- Adaptive cruise control
- Battery management
- Charging systems
- Electronic steering
- Climate control
- Driver assistance technologies
Shane Murty is not a mechanic who replaces auto parts based on assumption. Rather than ‘chasing the dragon’, he chooses certainty and accuracy, using advanced diagnostic tools for efficient and successful repairs. His philosophy is keeping cars on the road for local drivers, fleet operators, and 4WD enthusiasts in Aura, Caloundra, and throughout the Sunshine Coast.
