"I treat other people's cars like I treat my own." — Rob
How it works
One mechanic. Straight answers. No bill you didn't agree to.
Rob's Auto Repairs is a one-man workshop at 65 Tharwa Road, Queanbeyan — and it's been that way since 1995. When you drop your car off, Rob looks at it. Rob does the work. And if he finds something that needs attention beyond what you came in for, Rob rings you first, explains what's going on in plain English, gets your go-ahead, and then picks up the spanner. There is no upsell desk. There is no junior tech doing the actual job. It's just Rob.
Rob describes himself as "a general repairer, like a GP" — he works on most makes and models, including new cars still under manufacturer warranty. Log-book servicing is done to factory specifications, so your warranty stays intact without the dealership price tag. And if a job is genuinely outside his capacity, he'll tell you straight and point you in the right direction rather than take it on and wing it.
Getting an accurate quote usually means doing a minor service first — that way Rob can actually see what the car needs rather than throwing a number at you that ends up being wrong. An average service runs roughly $160–$270 depending on what comes up. Every job, no matter how small, comes with a 30-day warranty. If something's not right, he stands behind it.
Nearly 30 years in Queanbeyan. Rob's business runs entirely on word of mouth, which means every single customer matters. "I treat other people's cars like I treat my own" — that's not marketing copy, that's just how Rob works.

Questions
Before you bring your car in
Straight answers — the same way Rob talks in the workshop.
How much is a service going to cost me?
An average service runs roughly $160–$270, but the exact cost depends on what your car actually needs. Rob would rather look at it properly than throw a number at you that turns out to be wrong — a minor service first is often the best way to get an accurate quote.
Will my new-car warranty be voided if I don't go to the dealership?
No. Rob does log-book servicing to manufacturer specifications, so your warranty stays intact — without the dealership price tag. As long as the service follows the manufacturer's schedule and is documented properly, you're covered.
Am I going to get hit with a big bill I didn't expect?
Never. Rob always rings you before doing any additional work — he explains what the car needs and why, gets your go-ahead, and then does the work. No surprises, full stop.
What kinds of cars do you work on?
Most makes and models — Rob describes himself as "a general repairer, like a GP." He's not locked to one brand or era. If something's outside his capacity, he'll tell you straight and point you in the right direction rather than take on a job he shouldn't.
Who actually works on my car — is it Rob or someone else?
