SOUTHSIDE CYLINDER HEADS
About Southside Cylinder Heads
Since the late 1970s Southside Cylinder Heads has built a reputation as one of Brisbane’s most experienced engine reconditioning businesses, with trade workshops and retail customers relying on them for quality workmanship and honest advice. Their focus on clear communication, explaining technical details in easy terms, and standing behind their work has earned them strong word‑of‑mouth and repeat clients across the region.
Southside Cylinder Heads contribution
Southside Cylinder Heads stepped in when our own cylinder head was cracked beyond repair, a problem that fell completely outside our budget and threatened to stall our project. They provided free workmanship and a discounted replacement cylinder head, absorbing a big part of the cost so we could get back on the road quickly and safely.
Their help turned what could have been a major setback into a short pit stop, letting us focus our limited funds on keeping the rest of the build and our travels going. For a small, community-driven project like ours, that kind of practical, behind‑the‑scenes support makes all the difference.
The experience with Southside Cylinder Heads
Our main contact, Matt, understood what Freeroamchicks is about and took us under his wing from the first conversation. He made sure the repair was done, kept us in the loop, and treated our setup with the same care you’d expect for a long‑term customer.
In the workshop, their apprentice, Ceajay, handled the full assembly of our new cylinder head and walked us through each step of the process. Watching the teardown, testing and rebuilding up close turned a stressful breakdown into a chance to learn how the heart of our engine actually works.
Southside Cylinder Heads and the cause
There was no big campaign or hard sell behind their support, Matt simply wanted to help out when he heard about our journey and the story behind Freeroamchicks. The team saw an opportunity to use their skills to keep us moving and backed us in the best way they know how: quality work, done right, when it mattered most.
That spirit lines up perfectly with our own values of community, sharing knowledge and lifting each other up on the road. Their support means our engine is stronger, but it also reminds us that there are local businesses who genuinely care about the people and projects passing through their workshop.
