The Motor Hospital Story
Who we are
A family operation, not a chain
Cars come in crook, they leave right. That's the whole idea behind the name.
There's over 50 years of combined experience in this workshop. Tony Birtles leads the floor. He's the bloke customers ask for by name, because he tells it straight. Cory Birtles-Eades runs the business and everything digital. It's a real family operation, and it runs like one: you deal with people, not a call centre.
We're Kelvin Grove locals looking after Kelvin Grove cars, and Red Hill's, and Paddington's, and anyone else who wants a mechanic they can trust.

Old school, new school
Carburettors to computer coding
We're one of the few workshops in Brisbane still rebuilding carburettors and overhauling distributors properly. We're also across computer diagnostics and coding on the newest cars. Most shops can do one or the other. We do both.
