Who are Gold Coast's Leading Auto Mechanics?

Tim Ryan – Business Owner. Southport & Guanaba

I have had 35 years experience in the motor trade. I completed my apprenticeship in Melbourne working on Jaguar, Leyland, Triumph and Rolls Royce.

Moving to Queensland in 1980 and worked for various dealerships; Jaguar, Holden, Mitsubishi and Nissan. From the dealerships I moved onto general workshops gaining a lot more experience in a wider variety of vehicles and different types of repairs.

I then had a five year stint working on earthmoving equipment and trucks which I really enjoyed.

I purchased my business in 1994 and have built it up from a one man operation to now 5 permanent staff and casuals as I need them.

I now enjoy working with a great crew and am looking forward to building up the business and providing great expertise and service to all our valued customers.

Shannon – Qualified Mechanic / Southport Workshop Supervisor

Completed his mechanical trade apprenticeship with Mercedes Benz and Subaru in Sydney, he left after 7 years to manage the local service station, after 8 years of good service moved to the Gold Coast with his wife and two daughters.  Shannon worked at some workshops on the Coast and felt he needed more of a challenge; he then met Tim and TRS Auto Repairs and is glad to find a business that has the same good work ethic and procedures as he believes in.  He is happily employed and has now been with TRS since 2006 and enjoys the challenge of helping to build the business as well as looking after people and their vehicles.

Brendan – Qualified Mechanic

I started my apprenticeship in 2003 in Albany WA and completed my training in 2007 while still in Albany. Moved to Gold Coast in early 2008 and commenced employment with Tim at TRS Auto Repairs.

I have experience in most cars, old to new, European to Australian, and from 4wds to sedans.

I have an interest in import and performance cars, especially turbo, V8 and rotaries; I also enjoy sorting out electronic problems of which most modern vehicles have these days.

Tim has provided us with the most modern and up to date equipment for diagnosing any problems with EFI, ABS, SRS and any other electrical problems.

I am enjoying life on the Gold Coast and working at TRS and looking forward to a long career on the Gold Coast.
