I’ve been looking for a Volkswagen specialist to service my VW Passat instead of taking it to the expensive VW dealership and came across M $ R Auto’s workshop as I was driving by and decided to give them a try and happy that I did. At my last service at a VW dealership It was pointed out in the service report that my engine mounts need replacing. I out my car into M& R auto for an air conditioning service and I asked Gavin to give me a quote on replacing the engine mounts. Gavin phoned me after completing the air con service saying they could not find any problems or reasons to replace the engine mounts, but did find a major fault with the front suspension that needed urgent attention due to safety issues. He had a quote ready and even though they were very busy was able to fit me in to fix the suspension issues. He even sent photos of the worn bushes. Gavin is very knowledgeable with Volkswagens Gavin’s honesty and he’s teams professionalism has won me as a returning customer They will be servicing my VW from now on Will be recommending M & R Auto to my family and friends

I first engaged M&R autocare to service my VW Golf because of their experience with european cars. I've had such a positive experience that I've since taken my other non-european car there over the other mechanics I've had poor experiences with. I've found them to be knowledgeable and professional and appreciated them taking the time to explain the nature of issues to me and their suggested rectification, including cost estimates, prior to commencing any works. I also appreciated them responding to my message while they were shut over the New Years period, so that I could drop my car off to be fixed on the first day they were open.

  • Aybee

Good, honest mechanic team. I have what is now a vintage Toyota Sports car which needs the extra attention only skilled and knowledgeable mechanics can provide. I know I can trust the team to handle the car with care, and to identify and carry out any work needing to be completed to keep the car safe and in excellent running order. Easy to recommend the team to anyone who is looking for a mechanic they can trust. I'm lucky they are local, but would travel to keep my vehicles serviced by them. Thanks blokes, top job.

  • Marisa Elder

I found this local business by chance in Kempster St Sandgate and am glad I did. Incredibly friendly, straightforward, professional team. From the outset they were actively saving me money by steering me to less expensive high quality tyres and repairs. I’ve recommended friends who’ve had a similar experience. They’re not a big business which means you deal with the same folks each tim, so the ey know you and your car. I’m all for supporting local and M&R are my go to car service team. Highly recommend them.

  • Anthony Nelson

I had my 80 series land cruiser in for a much needed suspension upgrade. The team at M&R gave me a very accurate description of what the car would need and the rough cost involved. Once the work was completed the car drove fantastic! I was more than happy with the work and the style of suspension recommended to me. To top it all off the wheel alignment completed on the car after all the work was the best wheel alignment the car had ever had. Very happy with their work and would highly recommend

  • Daniel Powell

Huge thanks to Michael and the crew from M & R Auto Care for the continued service on all of my vehicles. Highly recommend local mechanic. M & R Auto Care has serviced my car for over 10 years, which by the way, was from new and covered the manufacturers warranty without concerns. Very professional, knowledgeable and helpful with the information provided before, during and after the service. The car always runs like a dream. I will be referring you on and continue to bring all my vehicles.

  • Renae Poole

Gavin and the team are fantastic. They helped me very quickly when I picked up a screw in my tyre a few months ago. And today I took the old car in for a general service. They gave me an idea of timing, but were ahead of schedule despite being short staffed today. I got a call listing the higher and lower priority things that need work or will shortly and we went from there. Car is running beautifully and this was one of the best mechanic experiences I've had.

  • Renee Parkhill

M & R diagnosed and fixed an engine electrics problem on my 'Mum's taxi' and didn’t charge like wounded bulls or treat me like an idiot. I also had new tyres put on, - they narrowed it down to 3 brands and took the time to explain cost/quality to me. I found them to be honest and trustworthy and they check with you first if they find any other nasties under the bonnet. Won’t trust anyone else with my car from now on. Would highly recommend.

  • Jacky Stickler

I got my Volkswagen Polo Log Book service recently at M&R. It was half the cost of what I was quoted at the dealership & my car is driving better than ever. They did everything included in the log book service + the little extras like inflating my nearly flat spare tyre etc. The owner works in the business & is very thorough, explaining everything to me when i picked up my car. Great price & service, I highly recommend!

  • Ash Scott

Could not recommend more highly, Michael and team are so knowledgeable, honest and communicative. It is actually noticable in how the car runs and handles better after its service. Having moved further away, we took the car to multiple places to try find a good mechanic nearby but were not as satisfied. We continue to book in with M&R now and will always in future - content that they are the best and most trustworthy.

  • Maraea McCarthy

Searching everywhere one day last week for someone to replace an interior light for me. I was starting to loose myself until I popped into M & R Auto Care who dropped what he was doing to come help me out. The employees there are always keen and eager to get work done and the work the perform is outstanding! Thank you so much for your time and effort and your affordable price!

  • Chris Hawkes

M&R took over maintenance of my VW Amarok that had a pile of check engine lights and faults. After having the car a couple of times, they diligently identified and repaired the issues. This wasn't easy and I thought it would never be right but the car is like new! Thanks for you patience and support! Highly recommend them for as your mechanic in the Sandgate area!

  • Heidi Sperling

I recently took my new Audi here on a recommendation from a friend, as the nearest Audi garage was booked up for when I needed the service. I'm so glad I did, these guys are fantastic, so professional and really knowledgeable about European cars. I will definitely be using for my next service as I won't have to travel all the way into the city! Highly recommend!

  • Sydney Murphy

M & R Auto Care is a well oiled machine. Mick and the team are highly experienced across a range of car makes and they took care of my log book service with great efficiency, including a lift to the office to keep my day on track. The cost was very reasonable and I had my car back within just a few hours. I highly recommend M & R Auto Care. Thanks team.

  • Enrica Monsch

Excellent place to service your car. The staff are always so lovely and friendly. I have a Mercedes so it was important to find a place that could service a European car properly. I have been coming here for a couple of years now and have always been more than happy with their work! I’ve never had any problems. I highly recommend this car mechanic!

  • Grob O'Connor

Gavin and his team did an excellent job replacing the tyres and 4-way alignment on my Audi. Very impressed with the service I was given, as well as the quality of their work. My car was left clean and roving in a straight line for the first time in a while. Would definitely be using them again as they’re very honest. Thank you.

  • Walker_J10

I went to M&R Auto Care for a service and to find and fix a issue with my car no other mechanic could identify. The team at M&R auto care did amazing work on the car and were very good at explaining the issues with the car and had it back to me at the time I required it back. Would highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Lara Larz

What a great place to have you car serviced, honest, really work hard to find the issues and fix. Always friendly. Always busy and always make time. Like the otherday when my indicator had blown, and stopped in to book it in, instead, it was fixed on the spot right there and then, and I was on my way.

  • Tracy Lamon

I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. A service and repair to front brakes was done. I find these guy's to be dependable, and professional. They are fair with the charges and give specific information on the work to be done and the quality of the parts. Very happy. Have taken my car there twice now.

  • Jeepreid

Thanks for looking after our vehicle. We were not happy with the dealership fixed price servicing, we prefer a local business. The vehicle is only 5 years old but it feels like new again. Many thanks to the team at M&R Auto Care. We will be back for the tyre deal thanks for letting us know.

  • Shaun Bond

These guys helped me out when I was in a bind - heading north on a fishing trip with the boys and I got a flat tire and spare turned out to have a crack in the sidewall so needed two replacements or the trip was off! Thanks guys - really appreciate you getting me back on the road so quickly.

  • Chris

Gavin, Michael and the team at M&R Auto are excellent - very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining things, super professional in the way the business is run (they even provide photos with your reports so you can see excatly what was done) and above all honest. Thoroughly recommended!

  • Rod Melloy

Excellent service. Took my 1970 VF Valiant in. Described the symptoms of the problem I was having. Rather than just fixing that "problem" they actually diagnosed the root problem and came up with a solution. Saved time and money. Ed the mechanic knows his stuff. Recommended.

  • Peter Raymont

Team at M&R are great to deal with, let you know what your vehicle might need and how much it might cost before going ahead with any repairs to make your vehicle safe and road/ highway/ off-road ready for traveling. They also work on Jet Ski's, if you need your's repaired.

  • Frederick Gaddes

M&R Auto Care Tyre & Mechanical are a great business. our whole family take our vehicles there for not only servicing but also for advice. this includes our European sports car and the offroad 4wd.. always great to know the job will be done right and with quality parts.

  • Karen Smith

It was recommended that I try M&R... I was completely satisfied with their service. Very friendly on the phone and in person! Spoke to me in a way that I could understand. Let me know what was a priority and what could wait. I will use them time and again!

  • Jhon Moncaleano Torres

  • Mark Roberts

Wonderful experience as always with quality mechanics who took a professional approach to resolving an ongoing issue even the Car manufacturer couldn't sort. My car has literally never driven as good even when I drove it off the factory floor

  • Cealè Sadi-Brydon

M&R Auto Care went above and beyond to look after me when I needed my car serviced. I don't know much about vehicles and repairs, so I really appreciated how they walked me through what the problem could be, and how they could fix it. …
