About the company

Ashmore RWC and Automotive Services is a car repair and servicing business on the Gold Coast, opened in 2015 by founder Nick Thomas. Thomas is a co-owner and founder and began as an apprentice mechanic over 15 years ago. Adam Gillespie is a co-owner and director, having joined the business in 2023. The business is accredited by QLD Transport to carry out roadworthy certificates and Certificates of Inspection for Uber, DiDi, Ola and taxi drivers.

It is based in Ashmore and serves customers from Southport, Nerang, Molendinar, Carrara and Benowa. The workshop handles most repairs in-house without subcontracting. Services include car servicing, logbook servicing, brake repairs, clutch and gearbox work, suspension, air conditioning, engine repairs, roadworthy certificates and Certificates of Inspection. Specialist repairs include the Hyundai i30 steering knock, Ford Diff Bush replacements, clutch and gearbox work, and Dobinsons 4WD suspension kits.

All work comes with a 6-month / 10,000km warranty on parts and labour. The workshop uses oils from Penrite and Fuchs, filter brands Ryco and Purflux, and brake brands Bendix and Meyle. After-hours drop off and collection is available when booked. Customers are not allowed in the workshop due to insurance and workplace health and safety requirements. The business is not a mobile mechanic service.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Drivers in Ashmore keep coming back to this workshop for honest, reliable mechanical care, and the reviews explain why. An explanation in everyday language is what several customers highlight, with faults outlined clearly and a written report showing which items need immediate attention and which can simply be watched. Work that turns out to be unnecessary is not added on, a point reviewers repeatedly raise when describing how they were treated.

Owners of Subaru vehicles note that the team understands the brand well, while logbook servicing, mechanical repairs, roadworthy inspections and general servicing appear among the jobs handled. Adam and Nick are singled out by name, together with the broader crew, for knowledgeable workmanship and an approachable manner from the first phone call through to pick-up. Fair and competitive pricing comes up often, with no surprise charges appearing on the final invoice.

Customers describe being squeezed in at short notice even when the workshop is busy, and prompt, dependable service that never feels like just another job. Vehicles arriving with anything from minor faults to larger mechanical problems have been put right, and the whole experience is described as calm rather than stressful. That is why so many have stayed with the same team for years of repeat servicing and repairs.

I recently had a great experience with Ashmore RWC. The team was professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. They took the time to explain everything clearly, communicated well throughout the process, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and easy. Their customer service was outstanding, and it was obvious they take pride in looking after their clients. The staff were knowledgeable, honest, and efficient, and I never felt pressured or left wondering what was happening.

I would give 0 stars if I could. I took my jeep to Asmore RWC Automotive services because the front wheels were binding. After paying over 5k for repairs, the car came back with new leaks that weren't there before. Just 2 weeks later the exact same problem returned. I took the car home spent 10 mins researching the fault code bought the replacement part for $110 fitted it myself in 15mins and the problem is fixed. I also tightened the leaking hoses that I was told were apart of a bigger issue despite being quoted a further $7K in repairs. Based on my experience, I cant recommend this workshop. I'd strongly suggest getting a second opinion before authorising expensive repairs.

I honestly can’t thank the team at Ashmore RWC enough. They saved me so much money and were absolutely amazing to deal with from start to finish. Another big, well-known car repair business quoted me almost double the price to fix my car, and I was so overwhelmed and upset by the whole situation. I called Ashmore RWC almost in tears, and straight away they made me feel calm, reassured me that everything would be okay, and somehow managed to fit me in that very same day. That’s the kind of service you only seem to get when you’re dealing directly with owners who genuinely care about their customers. As a female who knows next to nothing about cars, I’m always worried about being taken advantage of or overcharged, but I could immediately tell that wasn’t going to happen here. They were honest, upfront, friendly, and took the time to explain things properly without making me feel silly or uncomfortable. It’s such a relief finding mechanics you can actually trust. The whole experience completely changed how I feel about taking my car in for repairs. I won’t be taking my car anywhere else from now on. Highly, highly recommend the fellas at RWC Ashmore — absolute legends!
