How It Works

FAQ

Yes. Brumby Motors services a wide range of European and Asian vehicles from our Artarmon workshop. On the European side, we regularly service BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche and Volvo. For Asian makes, we work on Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru and more. If you don’t see your car brand listed, give us a call — the answer is almost always yes.

No — and this is one of the most common questions we receive. Under Australian Consumer Law, you have the legal right to have your vehicle serviced at any qualified independent workshop without losing your manufacturer warranty. The law simply requires that the work be carried out to the manufacturer’s specifications using appropriate parts. At Brumby Motors, we meet both requirements: we follow the exact manufacturer service schedule and use genuine OEM parts or approved equivalents. Your warranty is fully protected.

We use genuine OEM parts or high-quality approved equivalents that meet your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. For most services, we source parts from the same supply chain used by authorised dealerships — the same quality, without the dealership markup. We always tell you exactly what parts we’re fitting and why, so there are no surprises.

Yes, precisely. Every service we carry out follows the manufacturer’s recommended schedule — the correct service intervals, the correct fluid grades, the correct filter specifications, and the correct inspection checklist for your vehicle. This is essential for maintaining your warranty, your car’s resale value, and its long-term reliability. We also record the service in your logbook and can provide a Digital Service Record (DSR) for eligible vehicles.

Always. We inspect your vehicle first, then explain what we’ve found in plain language — with photos where relevant. You’ll receive a clear, itemised quote before we touch a single bolt. We never start repairs without your explicit approval, and we never add extra charges that weren’t discussed with you beforehand. What we quote is what you pay.

We call you, explain what we found, and give you a clear quote — before doing anything. We take photos of any concerning items so you can see exactly what we’re seeing. We’ll also tell you honestly what needs attention now versus what can wait until your next service. You stay in control of every decision. We never proceed with additional work without your approval.

Yes. We offer a convenient car collection and return service — we come to your home or office, pick up your car, carry out the service at our Artarmon workshop, and return it to you when it’s done. This service is available across the North Shore and surrounding Sydney suburbs. Contact us when you book to confirm availability for your location.

Our workshop is located at 29 Dickson Avenue, Artarmon NSW 2064, making us easily accessible from Lane Cove, St Leonards, Chatswood, Willoughby, Crows Nest, North Sydney, Neutral Bay, Mosman, Lindfield and surrounding Lower and Upper North Shore suburbs. Our car pickup and drop-off service extends this reach further — contact us to confirm if we cover your area.

It depends on the type of service. A minor oil service usually takes around 45–90 minutes. A full logbook service typically takes 2–3 hours. If additional repairs are identified and approved during the service, we’ll give you an updated time estimate before proceeding. For longer jobs, we have a BMW X3 courtesy car available, and our on-site Jazz & Coffee café is there if you’d like to wait in comfort.

Yes. Your vehicle is covered by our workshop’s insurance while it is on our premises. We treat every car in our care as if it were our own — our workshop is clean, organised and secure. If you have any specific questions about insurance coverage, don’t hesitate to ask us when you drop off your vehicle.

Our Team

Jonas joined the Brumby Motors team to further specialise in the BMW models that define our European service offering: the 3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, X3, X5 and M-Series. His technical grounding in BMW engineering, electrical systems and performance diagnostics gives our team a level of BMW expertise that rivals any authorised dealership in Sydney.

If your BMW has an unusual fault, an intermittent electrical issue, or a problem that other workshops have been unable to diagnose — Jonas is who you want looking at it. His approach is methodical, precise and backed by factory-level training. He doesn’t guess. He finds the cause.

    David and the team at Artarmon Brumby Motors truly helped me at the right time, and I’m so grateful. Just one day before my trip to Orange, something suddenly went wrong... read more with my car. I started calling around, but every service was already fully booked. Then I went to the Artarmon Brumby Motors website (they have really useful online booking form), found an available time, booked online, came in, and they fixed the issue with my wheel straight away! They repaired the bearing and made my car safe to drive, which honestly may have prevented a serious problem or even an accident during my long trip. After I came back from Orange, they completed the rest of the work that was not urgent but still needed to be done. Now my car feels like new again. Thank you so much to David and his team for your professionalism, fast help, and care. I highly recommend Artarmon Brumby Motors to everyone.

    I called Brumby Motors because my car started shaking badly while driving. I’d never been to this workshop before, but Tomas answered the phone straight away and was incredibly professional... read more and friendly. I explained the issue, and even though he said the shop was fully booked, Tomas told me he’d try to squeeze me in somehow. When I arrived, Tomas was upfront that since I didn’t have a booking, they might only check it the next day — which made sense. Still, he personally took the car for a drive, ran a quick diagnostic, and found the problem straight away. Turns out Tomas is an absolute master diagnostic — he knew exactly what to look for and explained everything clearly. He even managed to source the parts and fix the car that same day! Massive thanks to Tomas and the Brumby Motors team are top-quality service, fair pricing, and genuine care for the customer. If you ever need your car sorted, ask for Tomas — you’ll be in safe hands!
