What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Owners of vintage British sports cars, family sedans and modern four-wheel drives have relied on this Maroochydore workshop for work ranging from routine servicing to complex repairs on vehicles of widely differing designs. Accounts describe older cars being revived through extensive attention to tyres, air conditioning, braking and driveline components, while air conditioning faults that other mechanics had failed to trace were sorted without delay.

One thing mentioned again and again is the depth of knowledge among the mechanical team, with Russell named repeatedly for his hands-on involvement, his readiness to chase down parts and information, and his guidance on maintaining unusual vehicles, while Warren, Rodney, Herbie and David also feature in customer accounts. Reviewers consistently mention that problems are explained before any work proceeds and that charges are reasonable and clearly documented.

The front office team is described as friendly, polite and helpful over the phone and in person, and the offer of transport or a courtesy car is noted as a practical convenience. Diesel engine and auto electrical work appears alongside general mechanical servicing, and the willingness to source components and share advice on upkeep, particularly for older or less common models, runs through the feedback, with Russell’s name tied to many of these efforts.

Finally found someone to work on my classic Mini. Good to know some places still know what a carby is and how to fix old cars. They know what they are on about and take the time to explain what they did and why. Prices for my parts are just a cheap as online, but without the postage. Great team, if you have an old car see Russell and his team. This business has been sold sometime ago and now operates under a new name with quite a lot of new staff. We no longer take our car there as the cost of a basic service has sky rocketed.

I bought a 30 year old Jag two years ago that hadn't been serviced in 5 years and these guys helped me bring it back to life the way it should have been, new tyres, wheels, air conditioning, brakes, differentials, Bluetooth, the works. Everything I asked them to do they did and more. Russell even helped me put the Jag stickers on the wheels. They were fantastic, especially Russell and Warren, words can't describe how good these guys are. Old fashioned service still exists and these guys are living proof that it does.

Have been sending my vehicles to Russell and his team for over 10yrs now, and have nothing but the highest of praise for their ability to diagnose and solve the problems my cars have presented them with. This is an actual "mechanical workshop" that can solve problems on vehicles that were made before most of us were born up to the most modern. A dedicated staff, from the front counter to the workshop, that go out of their way to make the experience as pleasant as possible. Most highly recommended.

My aircon recently stopped working on my 2014 Nissan Qashquai. After the last 2 mechanics couldn't find the problem and suggested to order a new receiver finally I visited Suncoast Automotive services. Absolute top service, they fixed my issue straight away. I highly recommend them to anyone. Roger

I have always had exceptional service from the team at Sun coast Automotive every time the cars have had a service or whatever. The extra mile that they go to is out-standing now days and a real peace of assurance that you have a back up service that is second to none. This is the sort of service which puts this business leagues ahead of the competition.

I have had my vehicles serviced for some time now by the team at Suncoast Automotive Services, there service is beyond reproach. They are always helpful and above all knowledgeable. If you are looking for a team of good mechanics this is the place for you. Recently we had the need to seek an upgrade of the ATM on our van, Russell worked tirelessly to obtain the information required and carried it through to finality. This took a lot of checking etc. and at all times we were kept informed of the progress.

I have been a customer at Suncoast Automotive Service since 1978. I have seen most of the mechanics when they were apprentices grow into top mechanics. They will all go the extra mile if you need further information. The quality of work you will not find better on the sunshine coast, the pricing is very good when considering what you can pay elsewhere. The front office staff are always helpful when speaking on the phone or face to face and are always happy to help with extra inquires. I would recommends Suncoast Automotive to anybody who has not been happy with previous mechanical workshops.
