Spannerman Autocare

Spannerman Autocare is an independent mechanic based in Mackay. Peter Miotto is the owner/director and a qualified mechanic with over 30 years' experience. His experience spans automotive, mining, agricultural and marine equipment. He purchased a mechanical workshop in 2012, and the business was rebranded to Spannerman Autocare in 2016. The business has a small, expanding team of mechanics backed by administration staff.

The team includes Peter (PJ) Miotto as Owner/Director, Luke as Trades Person and Jayde as Office Manager. Spannerman Autocare's vehicle hoists are fully engineered and certified, and can accommodate passenger vehicles, light trucks (max GVM 4.5T) and 4WDs. Spannerman Autocare provides mechanical repairs, servicing (log book and general), pre-purchase inspections, and inspection and diagnostics.

In Mackay, Spannerman Autocare has built a loyal clientele through work that several customers describe as honest, dependable and professional. A recurring theme is the transparency maintained from the first phone call through to collection, with Peter and his team explaining matters clearly so owners understand what is being done and why. A number of reviews mention the breadth of jobs handled, citing leak repairs on a Mercedes-Benz Kompressor, servicing of a diesel 4WD, air conditioning work, a tune, a dashcam fitting, a lighting upgrade and diagnostic checks on a ute alarm that had previously been dismissed elsewhere.

Accounts note that quoted work is delivered as promised, and that pricing is regarded as competitive and fair for the standard achieved. Punctuality and flexibility also come through strongly, including fitting in urgent jobs at short notice and organising vehicle pickup once the work is complete. The friendliness of both admin staff and technicians is singled out, and one customer who had moved interstate returned for a service before the long drive south. What emerges is a pattern of repeat business, with vehicles reported to run more smoothly after every visit.
