Completed his mechanical trade apprenticeship with Mercedes Benz and Subaru in Sydney. Left after 7 years to manage the local service station and after 8 years of good service moved to the Gold Coast. Shannon started working at TRS Auto Repairs shortly after and was glad to find a business that had the same good work ethic and procedures as he believes in.
He was happily employed by TRS for 10 years as Workshop Manager and Head Mechanic until he and his wife were offered to purchase the business from the previous owner. Shannon strives to build the business by offering honest and reliable service to new and existing customers. Shannon has a passion for cars, especially driving and maintaining his 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and going for long rides on his motorbike.

These are the most common problems we experience in servicing brake and clutch problems on motor vehicles. The most common one we are seeing is since asbestos has been removed from the brake linings (for health reasons) the manufacturers are experimenting with the composition of the brake linings. This in turn is hard to come up with a composition which is as good as asbestos.
Each service is carried out at defined intervals and recorded in the vehicle's log book. Completing these services ensures compliance with your vehicle's statutory warranty and keeps your car performing optimally. A log book contains all the information about your vehicle's servicing requirements after purchasing a new car.
Using the very latest tools and software for diagnosing any fault in modern vehicles, TRS Auto Repairs are one of the few professional full service workshops equipped to work on any car. Located in Southport we repair and service all makes and models of vehicles throughout the Gold Coast. This will help pick up any faults and problems early before they become a major issue and expense.
We can do a pre-purchase inspection for you to check the mechanical health before you buy, to give you peace of mind. For further information about buying a used car there are some useful websites for what to look out for and what checks you should do, including the Queensland Government one. Having a working motor mechanic inspect a car you are considering purchasing is imperative.
We are an approved inspection station for cars or light commercial vehicles up to and including 4.5 tonne RGVM and for caravans and trailers over 0.75 tonne ATM up to and including 3.5 tonne ATM. You must display a safety certificate on a registered car or light vehicle from the moment you offer it for sale or risk a fine of over $560.

As a first time customer, I'm really impressed with the ethical and customer-focused approach of TRS!
I got a 100,000km service done on my car. I was told upfront that only the necessities would be done i.e. if something listed in my service book didn't need to be done, it wouldn't be in order to keep the price down for me (which turned out to be very reasonable). I truly respect these type of ethics from a business!
I received friendly and effective customer service! Everything I was told that would happen did, including phone calls from Shannon. It was a seamless customer service experience

Trust / reliable / great service! Our family is now with TRS for a couple of years - happy choice! I definitely recommend! The fact that you can drop and pick up the car after business hours is a plus!

I described the issue my car was having (engine shaking and multiple warning lights on) and Shannon was able to accurately diagnose it over the phone. I brought my car in half an hour later, and he was able to confirm that it was a faulty coil, have the part delivered, fix it, and send me on my way...all in about an hour. Can't recommend Shannon and TRS highly enough. Second time I've used their services and couldn't be happier.

Have had a number of my cars serviced by Shanon and the team at TRS over the years and they have been nothing short of fantastic. Their commitment to quality and price is uncompromising. They always keep me informed about any additional parts or services my car requires ahead of carrying the work out, and they always look to provide those parts and services at the best price possible. I’d have no hesitation in recommending TRS to any of my friends and family, in fact I constantly do. As they say,”when your on a winner stick to it!”.
