Car Repairs on the Gold Coast
If your car is making a new noise, leaking, or a warning light has come on, book it in at our Ashmore workshop. We find the cause first, then text you a quote. Nothing gets fixed until you say yes.
Clutch and Gearbox
Slipping, grabbing or hard to get into gear. We diagnose the cause and quote before replacing anything.
Car servicing and Logbook Servicing
Regular servicing is the cheapest way to avoid big repair bills. We service cars, 4WDs and utes to the manufacturer’s logbook schedule and stamp your logbook when we’re done.
If your car is still under new car warranty, you don’t have to go back to the dealer. Australian Consumer Law lets any qualified mechanic do the service, as long as it follows the logbook and uses parts that meet the manufacturer’s specs. We do both.
We use Penrite and Fuchs oils, Ryco and Purflux filters, and Bendix and Meyle brakes. Every service includes a check of brakes, tyres, fluids, belts, lights and suspension.
Roadworthy certificates and Certificates of Inspection
We’re an approved inspection station with Queensland Transport. That means we can issue roadworthy (safety) certificates and Certificates of Inspection from the same workshop. Not every Gold Coast mechanic holds both.
Roadworthy (safety) certificates You need one to sell a registered car in Queensland, re-register an unregistered vehicle, or transfer rego from interstate. We inspect cars, light vehicles and trailers.
- The inspection takes about 45 to 60 minutes
- If it passes, the certificate is issued the same day
- If it fails, you have 14 days to fix it, and the re-inspection here is free
- A certificate lasts 2 months or 2,000 km for private sellers, and 3 months or 1,000 km for dealers
- Unregistered vehicles can be inspected if the CTP has been paid, and we can collect them for an extra fee
We don’t do mobile roadworthys. Every inspection happens at our Ashmore workshop.
