  • Friendly honest service

    We have been taking our four cars down to Jax for years now! They are ALWAYS honest and reliable, polite and friendly and happy to answer questions. Car repairs and maintenance can be pretty expensive and so it’s nice to know what you are paying for and that you aren’t getting ripped off. When we go to Jax we always feel well taken care of. They explain what work needs doing and how much it will cost.
    They have always been quick to fit us and quick to return the car to us.
    There have been times when we have taken the car in and asked if the brakes need changing or tyres need replacing and they have been honest and said that they are still in good condition. They don’t take advantage and just take the business! We really respect them and that’s why we return every time!

  • Quick and reliable highly recommended

    I booked the inspection early morning. Parked my car and walked into the reception area to let them know I was here. Not long after my little silver beast was taken for his check up which was a very detailed inspection. The mechanic found only a few minor problems back break pads are a bit low, minor oil leak to timing case not dripping though an main drive belt will need to be changed soon. Mechanic took me through to look at the issues and explained in detail what was wrong and how I should go about it. Great service would recommend to family and friends.

  • Jax Tyrea car inspection

    Easy way to book a car inspection and convient location in my local town, meant a nice park work while getting the car checked. The inspection took around 30 minutes. Happy to get the all clear and that the car is in good condition, especially as it being the main transport to/ from school and after school activities. Thank you !

  • Awesome

    Booking in the inspection was easy and not long of a wait to book in. The guys were great and fixed my headlights to. My car did fail the rego check, but they also were able to offer a date a couple of days later to book in and get the repairs done. The manager and staff were all lovely and easy going. My car is also now not Making this tapping noise that mu husband couldn\’t figure out. I also recieved an email after the service to join the Jax club for service reminders and discount offers. And I did join up. Thanks for the experience, I’ll be back.

  • Peace of Mind !

    I was extremely confident that my car would pass any test thrown at it! I kept it up-to-date with its services, I recently replaced the battery and replaced all tyres and it was under 5years old (purchased brand new). What else could it need ?! I was extremely surprised and grateful that Team JAX at CastleHill were able to give my car a thorough look-over, pickup some potentially disastrous issues if left untreated (such as needing brakes replaced) and detected a leak coming from my windscreen wipers which makes a whole-lot of sense now.

    Thank you JAX at CastleHill for making my trip out seamless, from the moment I contacted you to make a booking, the helpful staff, the knowledgeable mechanics who explained everything in layman’s terms to me, the quick service, to the lovely waiting room which had free wifi and a coffee machine.

    I looking forward to booking-in my next visit very soon.

  • Easy peasy in and out!

    Easy in and out! The kids loved to see the cats be lifted up and the big tires in the waiting room. We were greeted with smiles and were sent home with a quote of works and a rough time frame on when items needed to be completed by for my car to remain safe. The kids also loved that they walked out with an Easter egg

  • Flawless work from Jax

    I had such a positive experience from the team at Jax Tyres & Auto. The staff are so lovely, held the doors open for me and the pram, and even lent us an umbrella so we stayed nice and dry while the inspection was underway. The results were thorough, highlighting what they recommend be done sooner, and what can wait. They also gave me details for a recommended auto electrician for the work I want completed on our other car. Will be rebooking for a full service. I would recommend Jax Tyres & Auto.

  • Quick, easy and Mum friendly car servicing

    From the first contact, to booking and then having to reschedule my booking , it has been one of the easiest most friendly non apprehensive car serve I’ve ever experienced. It took 90 mins to have my car inspected and upon completion received a clear summary of what needed to be done. Costing and time frames were given. noted that Afterpay was available to for budgeting. A great experience overall. Thank you JAX.

  • Detailed servicing with piece of mind

    This visit to Jax Tyres was exceptional. The team explained the inspection, took me under my hoisted car while showing and explaining what they look for and what will need to be replaced soon. The team are experienced and friendly with this inspection taking 30mins. To know my car is in good condition with only break pads to be replaced during next servicing was a piece of mind. They are my new mechanic moving forward with my next servicing scheduled there.

  • Helped me out with my flat tyre AND MORE!

    I had an emergency flat tyre last month and JAX wasn’t too far away. I was so thankful that I chose them as the team was so helpful and also suggested to do a vehicle inspection. They gave me tips and hints in a non-mansplaining way, all while I had my toddler in tow. I highly recommend the team and they were so convenient. I have since used them to fix a ride-on mower tyre, so they really have a vast knowledge in all vehicles!

  • Quick and easy- fit in with my schedule

    Jax are so easy to deal with! They can fit me in short notice if there’s an issue and they can even service my car on a Saturday, which is great as I work full-time and do the school run every morning. The local car dealership can take a month to fit me in sometimes. Jax are also the most affordable automechanics in my area. We have been using them for over 2 years and haven’t looked back.

  • Amazing service

    I have been going to Jax Tyres for my tyres and servicing for around 13 years. During that time, the staff has been amazing at Jax Albury. Shane on reception often gives me rough estimate of when I have major work coming up on my car which is extremely useful as a sole parent carer. They give competitive pricing and my car always comes back purring like a dream and with the best possible prices.

    The Tuggeranong JAX centre was professional, kind and approachable. I needed particular things replaced on my car and they let me know and was able to get it done on the spot. To top it off I had a baby in the pram and the staff member helped me out with the door which I really appreciated. Would recommend vising their centre for your car needs!

    Booking my car into Jax tyre and auto was such an easy and stress free process. I was able to book in online at a time that suited me. The team were great, and they found no issues which was good because I’d not long got a pink slip and service so I knew everything was fine with my car. I love that they didn’t find anything wring with the car, and were all friendly.

  • JAX Tyres & Auto review

    I had the pleasure of booking a service with JAX Tyres and Auto to conduct a vehicle check on my car. It was easy to book and schedule an appointment. Friendly and great customer service. The service was completed in roughly 30-45 mins which was very quick. I recently purchased this vehicle so it was very handy to receive a free car inspection all thanks to the Mouth of Mums team. Post car inspection, the manager provided me with a printout of what needed to be done, all that was noted was that each of my tyres had different tyre pressure which wasn’t too concerning. Definitely recommend booking a vehicle inspection with the JAX Tyres and Auto team, it’s your one stop shop for everything car related.

  • Great service, very reliable and highly recommend

    My mum was selected to review JAX and she had a great experience. In addition, I took the initiative to review them because my car needed new suspension. I received quotes from 3 other businesses in the area. However JAX beat their quote and provided expectional advice in regards to fixing my car. Matt specifically was amazing, his communication and expertise was excellent. They were extremely reliable, I highly recommend.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Certainly most welcome for summer, and would be wonderful for the festive season. I can see this platter on the table Christmas Eve, when we get together with our neighbours.

  • This is timely and helpful, thanks – I aspire to entertain more and tips to make it less stressful are very welcome.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed
