Repairs Done Right

Got things to do and places to be? Don’t let your vehicle’s mechanical fault put a spanner in the works. We’ll get your car back on the road as quickly as possible. At M8S Rates Mechanical in Gladstone, we perform car repairs including work on engines, transmissions, brake and clutches and suspension.


We’ll examine your car from bonnet to boot and provide you with a written report and a fully itemised quote, so you’ll know how much to budget for the repair. 


Repairs can be expensive, which is why we always recommend regular vehicle servicing to identify parts that are coming to the end of their service life, so they can be replaced before they break down.

Sounds Like Trouble

When was the last time you listened to your car? Did you know that it might be trying to tell you something?


Here are noises you shouldn't ignore and what they mean:

  • Squeals on start-up: This could be a loose or worn belt. Modern cars have a serpentine belt which helps drive the power steering pump, alternator and air conditioning compressor.
  • Squeaks on acceleration: If this happens, see us immediately. In rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicles, a recurring squeak could be the sign that the universal joint is about to give way.
  • Brakes that squeal: Squealing usually indicates brake pads are approaching the end of their life. Growling or grinding sounds suggest that brake shoes have worn to the metal and are contacting the discs.
