Robina is one of those suburbs where life moves fast. Between school runs, work, and everything else, most people don’t have time to deal with a car that isn’t running properly — let alone a mechanic who wastes their time.
That’s where we come in.
Mark Jackson Automotive is based in Southport, about 15 minutes up the road from Robina. We’ve been looking after Gold Coast cars since 1989, and plenty of those cars belong to Robina locals who found us through a friend, a family member, or a neighbour who had been coming to us for years.
We know Robina is full of families, professionals, and people who have a hundred other things to do. So when you bring your car to us, we make it straightforward. You get a clear quote before anything starts. We tell you what the car actually needs — not a padded list of extras. And we get it done right, so you’re not back a week later with the same problem.
We service all makes and models. So it doesn’t matter what is sitting in your driveway; we can help.
If you want a mechanic near Robina you can trust without the hassle, we’re not far away. Get in touch today.
Why Robina Drivers Choose MJ Auto
Robina has no shortage of mechanics. So what makes people drive to us in Southport?
Honestly, it usually comes down to trust.
A lot of our Robina customers came to us after a bad experience somewhere else — overcharged, talked into repairs they didn’t need, or told their car was fixed only to have the same issue come back. We hear it all the time. And it’s exactly why we run things the way we do.
Before we touch your car, you’ll get a clear, upfront quote. If we find something additional once we’re in there, we’ll call you first. Every time. You decide what gets done — full stop.
Our mechanics are fully qualified and experienced across all makes and models. We use up-to-date diagnostic equipment, so we’re not throwing parts at a problem and hoping for the best. We find the issue, we fix it properly, and we stand behind our work.
We’ve also been purchasing from the same parts suppliers for over 35 years. That kind of relationship means trade pricing — and we pass that straight onto you. Good quality parts at a fair price, not a marked-up figure quietly buried in your invoice.
Mark Jackson has been a member of the Institute of Automotive Engineering since 1980, and the Motor Traders Association in both QLD and NSW. These aren’t just credentials — they reflect the standard we hold ourselves to every single day.
Robina is a big suburb. There are a lot of cars, a lot of families, and a lot of people who just need a mechanic they can rely on without having to think twice about it. That’s what we offer. No drama, no runaround — just honest work done well.
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!
