If you live in Ashmore, chances are you’ve driven past us without even realising it.
Mark Jackson Automotive is based on Southport Nerang Road — the road that runs right along Ashmore’s northern boundary. We’re practically neighbours. So if your car’s due for a service, making a strange noise, or you’ve got a warning light you’ve been putting off, getting to us takes minutes.
Ashmore is one of those suburbs that’s been around long enough to have a real sense of community. Families put down roots here. People know each other. And when it comes to things like finding a good mechanic, word gets around fast.
We’ve been looking after cars across the Gold Coast since 1989 — and a good chunk of our Ashmore customers have been with us for years. Some were referred by their parents. Some by their neighbours. That kind of loyalty means a lot to us, and it’s something we work hard to keep earning.
When you bring your car to Mark Jackson Automotive, you’ll get a straight answer, a fair quote, and work done properly the first time. No overselling, no unnecessary repairs, no bill that’s somehow double what you expected.
If you’re after a mechanic in Ashmore you can actually rely on, we’re right up the road. Give us a call.
Why Ashmore Drivers Choose MJ Auto
Ashmore locals have plenty of options when it comes to mechanics. So why do so many of them keep coming back to us?
It usually comes down to a few things.
The first is honesty. We know that’s a word a lot of workshops throw around, but we back it up. Before we touch your car, you’ll get a clear quote. If we find something unexpected once we’re in there, we’ll call you, explain what we’ve found, and let you decide what to do next. No surprises on the invoice. No work done without your say-so.
The second is experience. Mark Jackson has been in the industry since 1980, a member of the Institute of Automotive Engineering and the Motor Traders Association in both QLD and NSW. Our mechanics are fully qualified and work across all makes and models, using up-to-date diagnostic equipment to get to the bottom of problems quickly and accurately.
The third is value. We’ve been working with the same parts suppliers for over 35 years. That relationship means we can access quality parts at trade pricing — and those savings go straight to you. So you’re getting solid workmanship at a fair price, not an inflated bill that leaves you wondering where your money went.
And then there’s the simple fact that most of our new customers come from referrals. Someone in Ashmore recommended us to a friend, who recommended us to someone else. That kind of word-of-mouth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when people leave happy and feel like they were treated fairly.
From minor fixes to major repairs, we handle it all. Honest diagnostics, quality parts, and straightforward pricing no unnecessary work, no surprises on your bill.
We complete logbook services to manufacturer specifications, keeping your warranty intact. All makes and models are serviced, with genuine or OEM-equivalent parts used every time.
Need a roadworthy for a sale or registration? We're licensed to inspect and certify. Fast turnaround, thorough inspection, and we'll let you know of any issues upfront.
We inspect every component of your braking system to ensure it’s performing as it should. If not then we provide quality repairs to help keep you and your family safe behind the wheel.
We carry out thorough clutch inspections to pinpoint any problems quickly and accurately. If repairs or replacements are needed, we use quality components to keep your vehicle performing at its best.
Struggling with a weak or warm A/C? We regas, repair, and service car air conditioning systems. Essential on the Gold Coast — we'll have it blowing cold again fast.
We know 4WDs. Whether it's a daily driver or a weekend off-roader, we service and repair all makes — Patrol, LandCruiser, Prado, Hilux, and everything in between.
Pulling to one side, vibrating, or riding rough? We diagnose and repair steering and suspension issues to restore a safe, comfortable drive on any road condition.
Engine Reconditioning
When an engine needs more than a repair, we recondition. A cost-effective alternative to replacement, done properly so your vehicle runs reliably for years to come.
We supply and fit a wide range of tyres to suit every budget and vehicle. Balanced and aligned correctly — because the right tyres make a real difference to safety and handling.

Mark is a legend of a man and mechanic!
I just moved to the GC and needed a trusted mechanic and he has looked after both my cars so well and has given me his expert advise and workmanship. I am so grateful for that and would give him a 10 star rating if I could. Highly recommend and will always bring my cars to him!
