Mick Dunn Motor Repairs

Mick Dunn Motor Repairs is a family-run business with a 40-year history in Mackay. It was established in 1976 by Michael Dunn Sr as Mick Dunn & Son Motor Repairs. Michael Jr began his apprenticeship with the repair shop in 1978 and took over the business in 2000. Michael is in charge, while his wife Lee-Ann runs the front office with help from Michael's sister, Kathy. The business is locally owned and operated.

It works on all vehicle types, including cars, utes, 4WDs, and commercial fleets. Services include logbook servicing, brake repairs, suspension work, diagnostics, and repairs. It follows manufacturer guidelines for logbook and general servicing. It uses advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint issues with engine, electrics, and more. It provides upfront estimates for peace of mind and transparency. Michael speaks with customers directly about any concerns regarding their vehicle.

In Mackay, Mick Dunn Motor Repairs has built a reputation on the kind of old-fashioned service that customers say is increasingly hard to find. Several reviewers describe Mick himself as approachable and generous with his time, often fitting people in when the workshop was already busy and taking the trouble to explain repairs in plain language. A theme running through the feedback is the honesty of the operation, with fair and reasonable prices quoted for work that is carried out to a high standard and sometimes goes beyond what the log book strictly requires.

Customers mention diagnostic work such as reading fault codes to trace a check engine light and fixing the underlying issue on the spot, along with general car repair and maintenance, brakes, batteries, tyres and transmission work. The reception staff are also praised for handling enquiries helpfully, and the workshop is described as knowledgeable, accommodating and quick to respond. Reviewers repeatedly note that nothing seems too much trouble and that the team is happy to talk through what has been done, which leaves people feeling confident about returning for future servicing and repairs.
