Coomera has grown fast. What was once a quiet stretch of the northern Gold Coast is now home to thousands of families — and with that growth comes a whole lot of cars that need looking after.
The thing about living in Coomera is that you’re a bit further out. You need a mechanic you can actually rely on. Because dropping your car off isn’t always convenient when you’ve got school runs, a commute, or a full day of work ahead of you.
Mark Jackson Automotive is based in Southport, about 25 minutes down the M1. We’ve been servicing Gold Coast cars for over 48 years, and we look after plenty of Coomera locals who make the trip because they know they’re getting honest work at a fair price.
We service all makes and models — Japanese, European, American, diesel, sports cars, 4WD, and more. Whether it’s a logbook service, a brake job, or something your dashboard has been warning you about for the last month, we can help.
You’ll get a clear quote before we start anything. No surprises, no add-ons you didn’t ask for. Just straightforward service from a team that’s been doing this long enough to know that reputation is everything.
If you’re after a mechanic near Coomera who does things properly, give us a call.
Why Coomera Drivers Choose MJ Auto
Coomera is full of busy people. Families with kids in school, professionals commuting to Brisbane or the Gold Coast, and tradies who rely on their utes every single day. The last thing anyone needs is a mechanic who wastes their time, oversells unnecessary work, or hands back a car that isn’t actually fixed.
That’s exactly why Coomera locals keep coming to us — and keep sending their mates our way.
At Mark Jackson Automotive, we’ve been doing this for over 48 years. That kind of experience doesn’t just happen — it’s built job by job, customer by customer, over decades of showing up and doing the right thing.
When your car comes in, we assess it properly using up-to-date diagnostic equipment. We tell you what it needs, what it’ll cost, and we get your approval before we start. If we find something else while we’re in there, we’ll call you first. You’re always in the loop.
Our mechanics are fully qualified and work across all makes and models. 4WDs, family wagons, work vehicles — it doesn’t matter. We’ve seen it all. And because we’ve been working with the same parts suppliers for over 35 years, we can source quality parts at trade pricing and pass those savings straight on to you.
Mark Jackson has been a member of the Institute of Automotive Engineering since 1980, and the Motor Traders Association in both QLD and NSW. That’s not something you maintain for decades without genuinely caring about the quality of your work.
A lot of our Coomera customers came to us through word of mouth. Someone at school drop-off, a workmate, a neighbour who’d been coming to us for years. Word travels — and we think that says more than anything else we could put on a page.
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!
