24.01.2022 Prepared a road worthy for this Merc today. Reach out and let us know if you're in need of one too. #approvedsafetyinspection #roadworthy #mobilemechanic

24.01.2022 Happy customers makes us happy

23.01.2022 It certainly pays off to get a second opinion. We've saved this lovely lady $2500. Call us on 0412 616 924 if you need a second opinion on anything. Always happy to help!

23.01.2022 This Mercedes originally booked for a service + brakes. Owner also complained about vibration sounds. With further investigation, source of vibration was from torn and leaking engine mounts. Torn/leaking engine mounts (hydraulic ones) are oil filled and sometimes tear, which cause the vibration. Tearing occurs usually with old age. If engine mounts are not replaced, this can result in motors falling out of place. (THIS WOULD BE BAD NEWS). If your car is making noises, probably best to get it looked at. Get in touch with Rob on 0412616924, his meticulous eyes and ears can assess your vehicle.

22.01.2022 Owner of this Holden Captiva gave specific instructions that their car CANNOT be returned unless heater was fixed! Now there's a request you don't hear often in QLD... though we must admit, winter has well and truly kicked in on the Gold Coast. Safe motoring and stay warm everyone!

22.01.2022 Pretty little beast in the workshop today for an oil change and new brakes.

21.01.2022 We are committed to getting your car back to you. However, safety and quality workmanship is NEVER compromised for the sake of speed of delivery. Last night, Rob was in the workshop till 830pm to make sure the job was done right. Happy customer receiving her car back in form. (power steering pump failure in BMW be gone!) . If you value quality, then look no further. Give Rob a call on 0412 616 924 to see if he can help you.

21.01.2022 It's disheartening when new customers come to us to get their car serviced, and the pollen/cabin filter be at this level. Filters need checking at every service and if need be, changed. The muck that sits on here is being breathed in by everyone in the cabin i.e. car. Be wary of workshops that offer dirt cheap servicing. Cheap often equates to "non thorough workmanship", which can jeopardise good standing maintenance on your car (and your health, too).

20.01.2022 We promised our client his classic 1958 Corvette would be on the road by Christmas. The elves at the Presto workshop made it happen! Client just got his beauty parked up in his garage, and sent us this photo. It's all ready for a drive to the Sunshine Coast tommorrow. ... Merry Christmas to you all. Eat plenty, hug your loved ones and safe motoring!

15.01.2022 We picked up this car, did what had to be done - and dropped it back for a teacher based in Surfers Paradise. If a job can't be done onsite, it gets brought back to our workshop in Molendinar. Either way, you are not inconvenienced, and you can get on with your day.

14.01.2022 Thanks for the 5 star review Haydn!

14.01.2022 Put aside cleaning pistons to making pizzas today! When clients become friends and they invite you to their headquarters to make delicious lunch!

13.01.2022 Delighted and humbled every time we get one of these emails. Thank you Peter, for taking time out to show your appreciation.

13.01.2022 Meet Joey. His car was out of action at Broadbeach and was towed to our workshop for repairs. As he is a busy chef (at Cafe On Hedges, Mermaid Beach) we mostly liaised with his partner Kaylha, who had this to say: "Rob went above and beyond for us. Great service, highly recommend. Definitely our new mechanic from here on out. Absolute champ!"... Are you on the hunt for a new mechanic, too? We'd only be too happy to help. Call 0412 616 924

10.01.2022 The new owner of this Mercedes Viano got us to do a pre-purchase inspection and is now in the workshop getting new tyres fitted.

08.01.2022 Behind the scenes of fixing a non-working window on an Audi A4. Between the big storm a few days ago and this hot weather, it certainly helps to have a window that works!

08.01.2022 '4WD towing laws to be toughened by QLD government' Peter Gleeson, The Courier-Mail " TOUGH new laws to be introduced by the Palaszczuk Government will stop upg...rades to 4WD vehicles to allow them to tow larger caravans, boats, horse floats and work toolbox trailers. The new laws mean any Queensland driver wanting to buy a caravan will probably need to buy a new vehicle as well. Under the proposed new codes, to come into effect in two weeks, the towing capacity of 4WD vehicles will not be able to be upgraded after purchase. Queenslanders who need an increased carrying or towing capacity will be forced to buy large, powerful, expensive and fuel-inefficient imported utes and trucks. The upgrades such as improved suspension and shock absorbers provide a more stable, safer ride and quicker stopping, while increasing towing capacity. The weight of accessories such as water tanks, extended fuel tanks, bull bars and winches force many vehicles over their legal weight limit, which also makes upgrades necessary. Vehicles operated in excess of their legal carrying capacity are declared unsafe and are not covered by insurance. The ban will mean that many caravaners will be lucky to fit two people and a full load of fuel into their vehicles before they are over the legal towing limit. Transport Minister Mark Bailey, despite repeated requests, has not told peak industry bodies why the Government is proceeding with the new laws. The vehicles most affected include the most popular 4WDs on the market, including the Toyota LandCruiser, Toyota Hilux, Nissan Patrol, Ford Ranger, and Isuzu D Max." " The new laws will affect up to a million 4WD drivers and 200,000 grey nomads’’. Queensland is home to eight of the top 10 caravan ownership postcodes in Australia, at Bundaberg, Hervey Bay, Toowoomba, Mackay, Gympie, Gladstone, Maryborough and the Sunshine Coast. Caravan industry bosses say it’s the most nonsensical legislation they have ever seen. NSW and Victorian drivers will be able to tow caravans in Queensland without being subjected to the same laws as Queenslanders. The new code will prevent the same modifications undertaken to meet specifications required by Queensland’s police and the State Emergency Services. Australian Caravan Club treasurer Graeme Tree yesterday said the ban meant any Queensland driver wanting to buy a caravan would probably need to buy a new vehicle as well. If this was about safety, it would apply to all vehicles on the road, Mr Tree said. But these are modifications that are fitted to Queensland police, emergency services, fire and parks vehicles to increase safety in towing. They are already on thousands of private vehicles in Queensland and are perfectly legal in other states. These are upgrades that will still be allowed to be fitted here in Queensland to new vehicles on the showroom floor. But once it’s on the road, it’s banned. It just doesn’t make sense. Mr Tree said the proposed changes to Vehicle Codes LS11 and LS15 would decrease safety on Queensland roads and unwittingly put drivers of 4WDs in breach of their insurance. Modifications to most 4WD vehicles are essential for legal towing, so from September 4, most Queenslanders buying a caravan will also need to buy a new vehicle, he said. It is inconceivable that Queensland would stop people improving the safety of their towing vehicle when the modifications are allowed under federal laws and before registration in Queensland. "

08.01.2022 Thurs 15th Nov, PM, customer enquiry: "I have a 2014 Triton that broke down last Saturday due to low oil (oil checked 5 days prior and it was 3/4). Took it to a mechanic in , had it serviced all was good. Started to hear a rattle in the engine took it back to mechanic states it was ok to drive. Drove it. Engine shut off this morning no warning lights came on prior. Had car towed to mechanic at . I'm not confident that this mechanic is able to find the fault and fix it.... Would you be in a position to have a look at the vehicle if I organise for it to be towed. Oil level is now over full and no additional oil has been added." Friday 16th Nov, AM: Triton just arrived via tow truck to Presto's workshop. When you're doing work that people seek you out, it's humbling.

04.01.2022 A nice message on new year's eve from Robyn, who I helped out when I contracted for RACQ. I told her I'm no longer with RACQ, and asked if could help give out some of my business cards. She was only too happy to help. Thank you Robyn for YOUR kindness.

03.01.2022 **** Where are you parking your vehicles? **** Our client who owns this motor home had it parked on a friend's farm property. Due to take it away for a trip soon, he discovered the side clearance lamps don't work. It was suspected a recent annex fixture (from drilling) may have shorted out the wiring. Upon Rob's inspection, he discovered it was in fact rats that gnawed away at the wiring, causing the outage. ... Lighting now back. Avoid storing vehicles in vulnerable places, so you can minimise this type of damage.
