Choosing a mechanic can be just as hard as choosing a hairdresser. Let’s face it, there’s lots to choose from and all of them claim to be ‘the best’. But just how do you really know who is ‘the best’? Some people actually aren’t too fussed on when and where they have their car serviced,... Read more Friday March 29, 2019

Toyota have a reputation for producing quality, reliable cars and are a major player in the automotive industry. Originating in Japan in 1937 the company was founded by the Toyoda family. Interestingly the word ‘Toyota’ came about because it takes 10 Japanese strokes to write ‘Toyoda’ whereas it only takes 8 strokes to write ‘Toyota’,... Read more Friday June 29, 2018
Winter is definitely here. The fog is rolling in and those cold, dark nights and mornings have settled in.

A new customer came to us recently with a 2007 Holden Barina. They had missed a few car services in Geelong so it needed a bit of attention, but in particular they noted that the front brakes were making a grinding noise. On the test drive we definitely heard the grinding noise they were referring... Read more
I cannot recommend BJT Automotive highly enough. Both Brett & Rachel are very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I was kept informed about what needed to be done to my car at the time of the service and in the future. I will continue to use them to service my car.
BJT was recommended to us through a friend and we’re so glad we went with them. We got a date for a service quickly, communication was very efficient and the price was very reasonable for a big service. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back for our next service.
First time I've taken my car to BJT and it won't be the last, thank you for the thorough work done on my Toyota and the thorough explanation for the work done. Genuinely satisfied
Absolutely the best service I’ve ever experienced. Rachel was incredibly welcoming and genuinely one of the nicest people you’ll meet, and Brett did an outstanding job servicing my car. The level of care, professionalism, and quality is unmatched by any other mechanic I’ve been to. If you’re looking for top-tier service, this is the place to go. Amazing team, amazing experience — 100/10.
Absolutely fantastic experience with BJT Automotive! From start to finish, everything was spot on professional, friendly, and efficient. The quality of work is top-notch, and the team really knows their stuff. Fair pricing and great service all around. Highly recommend to anyone needing automotive work done. I won’t go anywhere else!
I had a fantastic experience with BTJ Automotive. Brett and Rachel were absolutely amazing to deal with, both were true to their word and incredibly thorough with the work carried out on my 2011 Toyota Kluger. Brett kept me well informed throughout the process, and Rachel was lovely and helpful every time I spoke with her. The communication was clear and honest, and the service was reliable and professional. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend BTJ Automotive.
Another first class service for our Ranger with BJT! Off touring again and have full confidence that Brett and the team have the Ute in great shape. Wouldn’t go anywhere else! Thanks as always
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. #alwaysgoingaboveandbeyond
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.
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.
Being going to them for eight years and they have the most polite and helpful people....my car is always ready on time and running well and only parts that need replacing are replaced...I highly recommend anyone looking for an excellent mechanic to give them a call...peter lehane.
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!"
