Car Service Geelong

May 9, 2022

Having been in the industry for close to 30 years, it’s safe to say we know what we’re doing at BJT Automotive when it comes to car service in Geelong. It would be interesting to know actually just how many cars we have serviced over that time – it would be thousands and thousands! So I guess it’s fair to say we know what we’re doing!

Our customers appreciate that we are thorough and trust that we always service their car properly. We follow the manufacturers guidelines and ensure that all the filters and fluids that are due to be changed, get changed. We focus on quality, not quantity. So that means we take the time required to service cars properly. This includes taking care of the smaller things such as making sure all the lights are working. It’s surprising to see how many cars are on the road with one headlight not working, or no tail lights or brake lights. We also rotate the tyres every service to put them in the best position to last the longest. You’d be amazed at how many cars we see that have never had a tyre rotation done and therefore the tyres have worn out much quicker than they should. You’d also be amazed at how many spare tyres we see that are completely flat! We check the spare tyre as a routine part of every service. Oh and did I mention we vacuum the car as well!

While the car is up on the hoist we give the whole car a good thorough checkover as well. Obviously we do this to make sure everything looks okay, but it also helps identify if there is anything that looks like it will require attention in the near future. We then let our customers know so they have plenty of notice of any upcoming work. Really helpful for those that stick to a budget.

For car service in Geelong we really do have an excellent reputation for providing high quality work and awesome customer service. We have a huge customer base that have been servicing their cars with us for many years. Lots of happy customers!

If you want to be another one of our happy customers and have the best in the business service your car then please contact us. We’d love to have you on board!

BJT are a cut above the rest. The best experience we’ve had to date. All our family members, some friends and my work colleagues see Brett and Rachel and their team at BJT Automotive. We spent years using the services at a large dealership. BJT have been far superior in service, knowledge, advice and price. Brett leaves no stone unturned. He is fastidious, with his workmanship and attention to detail. Their communication always provides clarity..and confidence. Their is never a question in regards to their professionalism. Each interaction professional, respectful and friendly. We sing their praises loudly and proudly. Thanks again Brett and Rachel for everything. #alwaysgoingaboveandbeyondMichelle & Mark Stavenuiter

Brett, Rachel and the entire BJT team - absolute professionals. I know the 4x4 is in safe hands. Nothing's ever overlooked and even the slightest issue is always bought to my attention for servicing at the time, or in the future. Must go over the car with a fine-tooth comb! Won't be going anywhere else.

Took my car here for its roadworthy check a while back now (Feb 2019) - I was new to the country with no knowledge of cars and after the rwc it was apparent I had bought a bit of a lemon. The mechanic was extremely patronising and condescending about the fact I had been duped into buying something I had been assured would pass the rwc easily. I then enquired about the next steps to get it roadworthy and was told just to take the paperwork to my mechanic and they would advise - obviously I didn’t have another mechanic otherwise I would have taken it there to begin with and clearly he just didn’t want to carry out the work. And lastly I was charged a higher price than originally quoted due to the car leaking oil on his workshop floor and making a mess - as an entirely mechanically ignorant customer I’m not sure it’s my responsibility to advise the mechanically experienced staff to plan for these kinds of possible issues.

Recently bought a 2013 Subaru and wanted to get it checked out so we had a baseline for servicing going forward. This was our first time using BJT and from setting up the appointment, to the communication once they had the car everything was first rate. Brett took the time on the phone to explain what he suggested needed to be done and then went back through the list in detail when we picked it up, car drives great and our Subie has a home to keep her going! We will definitely be using BJT going forward and have already booked an appointment for our VW.

Great communication from the team. There were no hidden surprises and all work above the original quote was advised and asked if I wanted to proceed. Thank you

Been using BJT since I had my first car at 18 years old (where dad took his cars). Have had them doing servicing, general repairs and RWC’s. Always found them to be up front and honest with any work that should be done but also let you know of anything that could break down in the future. Always get permission before completing any work that hasn’t been discussed. Would highly recommend BJT and there services to anyone! I’ve been using for over 10 years and they have always been awesome to deal with and do an amazing job!

Having recently moved to the area I was delighted to have chosen BJT Automotive to service my car. Brett and the team are highly skilled professionals and provide a customercentric service. They are clear about the steps they are taking and why, keep you informed at each stage of the process, and take the time to explain everything as necessary.A friendly and knowledgeable team that I couldn't recommend more.

Brett couldn't have been clearer in his advice when he serviced the car. Told me exactly what had been done that service, what to do between service intervals, and future maintenance.Getting into the car, it was vacuumed, no sign of the service inside the car - it was like brand new. You can tell that Brett and the team care deeply about doing a great job, and as a customer you can't help but be impressed and appreciate that!

Brett is the most genuine and honest mechanic (and good guy) I have comes across and short of leaving town this is the only place I will take my vehicles in the future.

We are super impressed with the service we received from Brett and the team at BJT. My vehicle has one more year under warranty, but we decided to get it serviced at BJT after reading the excellent reviews. Choosing BJT did not affect my warranty and the service was very thorough and professional.Brett's team picked up a tiny oil leak which he recommended getting checked under warranty at the dealership. This turned out to be the transfer assembly which will now be replaced under warranty at the dealership. The part costs around $3000 plus a full day's labour. Brett's careful attention to detail has saved us thousands of dollars.I would also like to note that Brett is very respectful to women. I went with my husband to pick up the car and Brett made sure to include me fully in all the explanations and decisions.We have no hesitation in recommending BJT and we won't be going anywhere else in future.

I would highly recommend Brett and his team to anyone. I am very impressed with their attention to detail and thorough approach to vehicle servicing. I often rely on my vehicle in remote settings, the thorough approach undertaken by Brett and his team gives me confidence that my vehicle will be reliable and dependable. You will not find a more thorough mechanic in Geelong.

Our family has been taking our cars to BJT for over 10 years. During this time we have been completely satisfied with the service and work that has been completed on our cars. From the moment you walk into their reception area and see their workshop you can see what a professional business this is. Brett and his team do a great job and we feel very safe in the knowledge that our cars will not let us down. Brett explains what needs to be done, he provides accurate assessments and will always call if work is required that he has not previously discussed with us. Over the years Brett has provided great advice whether it be work required on our cars or when looking to purchase a car for ourselves or our children. I can honestly say I trust Brett and the team at BJT and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their car serviced or for any required mechanical repairs.

Here is a customer review we received - thanks Narelle - "Hi Brett, Just a quick note to thank you for the service on Monday 4 April. The 'going beyond' what is normally done for me in a service was noted. Your team's attention to detail and going the extra mile was very much appreciated. I was pleasantly surprised to find some things done I wasn't expecting out of a service but were a really nice touch. Thanks very much for a detailed service & have a great weekend!"
