09.01.2022 SA COVID-19 LOCKDOWN UPDATE We have had further clarification from the government as to which vehicle repair and mechanical services businesses may operate in South Australia through the current 6 day lockdown. Vehicle repair and mechanical services may operate but only to the extent necessary to facilitate other essential work.... For example - if a freight truck breaks down it can be serviced. But discretionary servicing like wheel alignments etc should wait 6 days. To put this lockdown into perspective neither exercise nor funerals are allowed during this period.
