These winners were determined based on genuine customer reviews, highlighting the mechanics who consistently delivered five-star service throughout 2024, and are a testament to the industry’s dedication to quality, reliability, and exceptional customer care.

What makes a Top Mechanic?
AutoGuru’s Top Mechanics and Mobile Mechanics of 2025 were selected after crunching a year’s worth of review data.
To qualify, mechanics had to be an AutoGuru partner, accumulate a significant number of five star customer reviews on AutoGuru, and maintain an exceptional average star rating throughout 2024. AutoGuru says this selection process ensures these winners represent the highest standards in Australia’s automotive service industry.
With more than 160,000 genuine customer reviews and an outstanding average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars, AutoGuru says it stands as a trusted platform for automotive services.
It states these reviews showcase the reliability and quality of the professionals featured, giving customers the confidence they need to make informed choices.

Who took the top spots?
Taking the crown for Australia’s Top Mechanic of 2025 was DPJ Mechanical, based in Ipswich.

Known for their meticulous attention to detail and unwavering customer satisfaction, DPJ Mechanical earned glowing reviews from car owners across Ipswich.
One of the standout five-star reviews they received in August 2024 was from Muriel: “moved from Newcastle and needed a mechanic, didn’t know any. Came across these guys and I’m so grateful I did. Really well priced (always attractive) has helped me once on the roadside. Came to me. Helped no charge. Just fantastic. Quick too.”
AutoGuru says DPJ Mechanical in Ipswich exemplifies a family-run ethos, treating every customer like family to ensure their vehicle receives the utmost attention it deserves.
After receiving the title of Australia’s highest-rated mechanic for 2025, Paula from DPJ Mechanical shared her gratitude.
“It is awesome and makes it feel like the hard work is worth it and makes it feel like someone is appreciating all the hard work you are doing,” Paula said.
Australia’s Top Mobile Mechanic of 2025 was Auto Fixit, with the Brisbane-based business earning this title for the second year in a row.

Renowned for delivering unmatched convenience and expertise right to customers’ doors, AutoGuru says they have set a new standard for mobile automotive care.
In November 2024, a customer named Jason shared a positive five-star experience, highlighting Auto Fixit’s exceptional service, stating: “Rafael was so easy to deal with, communicated well, and arrived earlier than expected. I’ll be 100 percent using his (Auto Fixit) moving forward. And most importantly, the work he did was speedy and done to a high standard. I had my brake pads and rotors replaced.”
AutoGuru says Rafael is known for going above and beyond, offering thoughtful, unexpected gestures that add a personal touch and make customers feel truly valued and appreciated.
“After working hard to earn the Top Mechanic position, I’m grateful for the recognition as I strive to excel in my field. With the support of the AutoGuru family, I’ve been able to achieve great things in 2024,” Rafael said.

Why it is important
Every car owner knows the importance of finding a reliable mechanic and AutoGuru says that is why it not only makes auto care easy but also celebrates excellence with the Top Mechanics Awards.
These awards highlight professionals who go above and beyond to deliver outstanding service, serving as a trusted guide for Australians seeking the best in automotive care.
“Recognising the best mechanics across Australia isn’t just about handing out awards – it is about celebrating the businesses that truly go above and beyond for their customers,” AutoGuru Chief Executive Officer, Eden Shirley, said.
“The impact is real: workshops love the recognition, but the real value lies in the business they gain from the exposure, with the Top Mechanics articles ranking exceptionally well on Google.
“Seeing these mechanics get the appreciation they deserve, through reviews from real customers and increased business – is what makes this so important.
“It is a win for both businesses and car owners looking for trusted, high-quality service.”

The value of genuine reviews
At AutoGuru, reviews come directly from real customers who have used the services of listed businesses. AutoGuru says these authentic insights reflect true experiences, helping you make informed decisions you can trust.
The platform references Neil Patel, the Co Founder of Neil Patel Digital and a New York Times Best-Selling Author, who highlighted the impact of genuine reviews in a recent E-Commerce and Purchasing Insights survey of 9,500 global consumers.
In that report, AutoGuru says the findings revealed testimonials and verified reviews, with a result of 91 percent, were the key drivers of consumer confidence, emphasising their importance in trusting a brand.
In the 2024 AutoGuru Member Sentiment Survey, AutoGuru asked the question – how beneficial to your business is having a review channel where no fake reviews can be published? It is reported that 75 percent of respondents said it was ‘Very Beneficial.’
AutoGuru notes these findings reinforce the importance of transparency and trust in fostering meaningful connections between businesses and their customers.
