About
Over 30 years on the same job: fixing cars properly
T & A Automotive has been in the business of mechanical repairs and maintenance for more than 30 years. From our workshop in Bayswater we look after cars across the eastern suburbs, from north to south and east to west of the river.
Our approach has not changed in all that time: old fashioned service with new car knowledge. We tell you what your car needs, we tell you what it does not, and we quote it before we start. That honesty is why a lot of our customers have been with us for ten, twenty, even thirty years.
We are a licensed Motor Repair Business, licence number MRB282.
The people
You'll deal with Tess and Allen
T & A is run by Tess and Allen. Tess is the one you will speak to first, on the phone or at the front desk, sorting your booking and your quote. Allen is the one on the tools, with decades of hands-on experience across most makes and models.
Customers tend to describe them as a team you can trust. We are happy to wear that.
Absolutely amazing service, excellent prices, honest, trustworthy and genuinely wonderful couple. Been going there for years and they never fail to deliver. Sue Hummerston

Tess & Allen have been my go to mechanics since I've got my first car and have recommended them to friends who have now been using their service for years now. Whenever I'm buying a car or need something fixed T & A are only a call away to get their honest and reliable opinion.
These guys don't beat around the bush they tell you exactly what's happening with your car and how things are or aren't working. Best mechanic I have ever used. Highly recommend !!!
We've taken all our personal and business vehicles to Tess and Alan for years, and are always happy with the service they provide! Thank you, time and time again, for everything!
Absolutely amazing service, excellent prices, honest, trustworthy and genuinely wonderful couple. Been going there for years and they never fail to deliver. I recommend them often & will continue to support them as long as they are there.
Always get our cars serviced here for over 20 years. We've had a VL Group A Walkinshaw, Mitsubishi Triton, HSV GTS and Holden SSV. Great thing is they fix all ages of vehicles. So if your car is like your baby and you want an honest reliable team maintaining your vehicle then trust me it's worth bringing your car here.
