Upper Coomera has grown into one of the Gold Coast’s largest northern suburbs, and it keeps growing. Thousands of families have put down roots here — drawn in by the space, the schools, the community feel, and the convenience of sitting roughly halfway between Southport and Brisbane.
It’s a suburb built around family life. School drop-offs, weekend sports, the daily commute — and all of it revolves around having a reliable car. The M1 is right there, but that doesn’t help much when your car won’t start.
Mark Jackson Automotive is based in Southport, about 25 minutes south down the motorway. We’ve been looking after Gold Coast cars since 1989, and we service plenty of Upper Coomera locals who want a mechanic they can genuinely count on — not just the closest one available.
We work across all makes and models. Japanese, European, Korean, American, diesel, petrol, 4WD — whatever’s in your driveway, we can sort it. And before we start anything, you’ll get a clear quote. No surprises when you come to pick up your keys.
If you’re after a mechanic near Upper Coomera who does the job properly, give us a call.
Why Upper Coomera Drivers Choose MJ Auto
Upper Coomera is a suburb where people are busy. Between managing kids, work, and everything else that comes with family life in a big suburb, there’s not a lot of room for things to go wrong.
That pressure is exactly why choosing the right mechanic matters more than people realise.
When your car goes in for a service and comes back with a list of extra work you didn’t ask about — or worse, comes back with the same problem it went in with — it doesn’t just cost money. It costs time you don’t have. And it chips away at your trust in whoever touched the car.
We’ve heard that story a lot. It’s often how Upper Coomera locals end up finding us.
At Mark Jackson Automotive, we keep things simple. We look at the car properly. We tell you what it needs. We tell you what it’ll cost. And we do the work we said we’d do — nothing more, nothing less. If you want a second opinion on a quote you’ve already received, bring it in. We’re happy to take a look and give you an honest assessment.
We’ve been doing this since 1989, which means we’ve worked on just about everything. Our mechanics are qualified and experienced across all makes and models, and we use current diagnostic equipment to get to the root of a problem quickly. We’re also a full-service workshop — so your car doesn’t need to visit two or three different places to get everything sorted.
Drop your car off in the morning, and we’ll keep you in the loop throughout the day. For simpler jobs, we offer while-you-wait servicing if that suits you better.
Upper Coomera families deserve a mechanic who respects their time and their budget. That’s what we’re here for.
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!
