When you’re searching for a mechanic, it’s hard to know what to look for. Often, mechanics are something that is best found by word of mouth, as it gives you a more authentic understanding of what their service is like – rather than trying to gauge their online presence or marketing. At Spin Car Wash, we hear a lot of talk about mechanics, and we consider ourselves fairly in the know when it comes to trying to find a mechanic in Brisbane, especially for mechanics in Brisbane’s northside.
We’ve drawn on some insight from Auto Guru, plus a bit of our own research and knowledge to prepare this list of some of Brisbane North’s top-rated mechanics. Read on to discover who they are now.

If you’re a little further out of town, we think that you should call the guys at Rapid Tune Strathpine. It seems like the locals of the area think this team are the best in town, according to their Google reviews. Rapid Tune Strathpine offer personalised service that you can trust, and are part of a network of Rapid Tune mechanics, so they can draw on the power of a franchised business – while still giving that reliable service that you get at a family shop.
Brisbane Automotive Service, Kedron
4.1 stars, 117 reviews on Google
Conveniently located just a block away from the Kedron shopping centre is the distinguishable orange workshop of Brisbane Automotive Service. This business specialises in European and Japanese vehicles, so if you’re the proud owner of a Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Mercedes, BMW or any brand from those regions, you’ll want to give this team a shot. They understand specific issues for these models that non-specialised mechanics may not fully know of. Paul and his team offer transparent services and are always upfront about costs.
Future Auto Kedron, Kedron
4.5 stars, 76 reviews on Google
On the same street as Brisbane Automotive is the stellar Kedron member of the trusted Australian Future Auto franchise. If you’re looking for a local style mechanic that’s backed by an Aussie-owned mechanical franchise, this is the stop for you. The owner Mark is as friendly as they come and always happy to solve your mechanical problems.
Goodyear Autocare, Chermside
4.3 stars, 80 reviews on Google
Did you know that Goodyear Autocare does more than just tires? The famous American brand also offers a solid servicing and mechanical repair service. The Chermside team is super friendly and sure to listen to all your car problems. Plus the trademark yellow and blue building makes it super easy to spot just before the Chermside Westfield shopping centre.
