The Motor Hospital story

Cars come in crook, they leave right. That's the whole idea behind the name.

A family operation, not a chain

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've been Brisbane locals since 2003, looking after Kelvin Grove cars, and Red Hill's, and Paddington's, and anyone else who wants a mechanic they can trust.

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.

I can't recommend The Motor Hospital highly enough. Corey was incredibly honest, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping me.
Ashleigh, Google review
They were attentive, very responsive, and reassuring (which is becoming rare for a woman in a garage). I recommend them 100%; they are fantastic and professional.
