Today’s workshop
A driveway in the hills
The name
L’atelier is French for the workshop.
This one just happens to have wheels. The workshop is the silver van out the front, set up with a tool chest and drawers so the job gets done where the car is parked.
No dropping the car off, no lift home, no afternoon gone. At home, at work or in an apartment car park, Nicolas comes to you anywhere on the Gold Coast.

Pre-Purchase Inspections
Looking at a second-hand car? Have a mechanic go over it before you hand over the money, so you know what you’re actually buying.

Headlight Restoration
Tired, cloudy headlights make the whole car look older and dim the road at night. Ask Nicolas about bringing yours back up.

How it goes
No surprises. Just the car, sorted.
Pieced together from what customers say about working with him.
01
Talk it through first
Tell Nicolas what the car is doing. The work and the price get agreed before he arrives, and he’s upfront about what can and can’t be done on the road.
02
The van turns up
Your driveway, your work car park, your building’s basement. On time, with the kit to do the job right there.
03
You see what he found
He shows you the problem and explains it in plain terms, plus the simple things you can look after yourself.
“This is the first time I’ve had a mechanic explain things so clearly and professionally. Nicolas has a great personality and clearly knows his trade very well.”
The mechanic
Meet Nicolas.
More than ten years on the tools, and the name on every one of those five-star reviews. Customers call him honest, patient and fair on price, and they keep coming back to the same point: he shows you what he found and explains it.
One customer drove down from Kenmore in Brisbane after several workshops couldn’t sort out an intermittent fault on his Corolla. Nicolas found issues with the injectors and the throttle body.
Et oui, il parle français.
“Instantly surprised about the professional approach and comprehensive equipment used.
Nick has found issues with injectors and also the throttle body.”

Before the visit, we discussed the work required and agreed on pricing, which I really appreciated. He arrived exactly on time, which made things much easier for me to organise around work.
