What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Gordon and the wider team at this Belconnen workshop are named repeatedly for handling everything from routine services to major repairs such as an automatic transmission rebuild, with a courtesy car provided while more involved work is completed.

One long-running customer has brought vehicles here since around 2012, including an older Kombi camper, citing broad knowledge of older and less common models. Reviewers describe the business as thorough, fairly priced and quicker to finish jobs than expected, whether the work is a simple service or a full diagnostic.

EXCELLENT SERVICE! For all things mechanical take your Car to Mechanical Care. Gordon & Cory have got you covered. From services,rebuilds,diagnostics & Advice. They are both knowledgable, Professional & Courteous with a genuine desire to fix your problem. After being abandoned by the dealership I bought the car from and had it serviced its whole life once Warranty had expired I was left with a car stuck in limp mode and a check engine light on. I was forced to search else where. A quick search on google for local mechanics lead me to Gordon's shop. Over 25 years local experience and once head technician at Mitsubishi. After a brief description He immediately said limp it up to the workshop and I can a least diagnose the problem. In a short space of time he had found the core of my problem. Although off the road a few more days while waited for parts and a few other issues that arose as knock on effect. My car was fixed in no time. I was also very lucky as he had a loan car while mine was in the workshop. For first class service,and genuine honest advice take your car to Mechanical Care in Belconnen. He even has some car projects out front if you were looking for a second hand car. The confidence he instilled in me that I was getting good service was second to none. So immediately booked my next service with him. For all thing cars Old and New seek out Gordon at Mechanical Care you will not regret it. We rate them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ & 👍🏼👍🏼 Craig & Michelle

Mechanical Care did brakes, re-packed wheel bearings (which were not shot as previous mechanic suggested) replaced tyres and aligned wheels. Brakes are better than they have ever been in 12 years of ownership and steering is lighter. These guys are great! At last, a mechanic I can trust! Thanks Gordon and John.

i’ve been taking my cars to mechanical care for many years and the guys have always been terrific. they always go the extra mile to get tricky issues sorted out or spare parts found for my ancient 100 series land cruiser. i can’t recommend them highly enough - the best mechanics in town 👍

John and Gordon are always very pleasant to deal with. Gordon has worked on my Kombi Camper quite a few times and has a broad knowledge of these old buses. Only a service etc this time but timely and as is the norm, no issues at all from my end. Thanks to the MC team 🙂

Took both our cars to Gordon and the team at Mechanical Care for all services and repairs when we lived in Canberra for several years around 2012. Now living in Canberra again - this time permanently - and delighted that they are still in Belconnen. Have just had major repairs (new auto transmission) done to our SUV. As usual, they were trustworthy, informative, attentive, and helpful. They kept in touch, and provided a courtesy car for the week. They were pleasantly surprised when we returned it after cleaning and refueling! It’s the least we could do in return for their amazing service. Our SUV is running like a dream. We are very grateful to Mechanical Care, and will never go anywhere else for our auto repair needs. Thanks folks!!!
