Launceston Motorworks

Launceston Motorworks is Invermay's approved inspection station and operates from a workshop in Invermay. The team includes Justin, Anthony and Thomas, who together have more than 50 years of experience. Hannah works on the admin side of the business. Justin is the owner, senior mechanic, auto electrician, fitter and machinist. Hannah is owner and handles administration. Anthony is a senior vehicle mechanic and vehicle examiner. Thomas is a mobile plant mechanic.

The workshop services daily drivers, classics, muscle cars and European vehicles, and handles vehicles from 1950s carburettor models to late-model fuel injection. A courtesy car is available on request. The business is a Localsearch verified business with a 2026 Certificate of trust. Main services include logbook servicing, mechanical repairs, diesel and 4x4 servicing, diagnostics and auto electrical, brakes and transmission work.

Reliability and straightforward communication emerge as the strongest themes running through feedback on this Invermay workshop, with several customers describing how quickly jobs are turned around after a single morning phone call. Reviewers repeatedly note that quoted figures hold firm, including a same-day ute repair where the amount given by Justin matched the final invoice.

The front-of-house team, frequently named as Justin and Hannah, is described as friendly, humble and professional, offering advice that customers find easy to follow and even arranging transport when a vehicle stayed in the workshop for some hours. Workmanship spans rego and roadworthy inspections, clutch repairs, servicing, alternator installation and clearing instrument cluster codes, with diesel and electrical jobs also noted. Tidiness and a comfortable waiting area come up, along with the resident dog, Pixie, as a small morale boost for visitors.

Customers describe being fitted in at short notice, including last-minute alternator work finished in roughly an hour, and praise the care taken with older four-wheel drives such as an 80 Series Landcruiser. A recurring point is that problems are explained before any spanner work begins, and that the team finishes every task it takes on, with one owner returning for further repairs on a second vehicle.
