The Hansen Mechanic

19/02/2026

I love my customers signing up to Karching App - Rewards For Driving and saving on servicing! One of my customers with a Colorado will only be paying $100 for a service when he's next due! Another customer with a Kia Rio will only be paying $35! All this from a sticker on a window.

Karching also offers other great promotions with other businesses!
If you have a business I can honestly say I've already gained customers from this advertising and is definitely worth promoting and signing up with!

This isn’t just a sticker.

It’s a customer backing their mechanic.

This week we continued the rollout of our latest campaign with the installation of a rear window decal for one of The Hansen Mechanic’s own clients, Allan.

That matters.

He already trusts Johann.
He already spends with him.
Now he promotes him.

Every drive through Southport, Ashmore, Labrador, Nerang and Pacific Pines…

The brand shows up again.

At the lights.
On school runs.
Outside job sites.

That’s how you expand across your target area without chasing strangers.

Loyalty deepens.
Recognition grows.
Trust builds before the breakdown happens.

If you’re a Gold Coast business and want your suburb to know your name before they need you…

DM VISIBLE.

When you take a wrong turn driving across the country and end up at a race track 🤣

If you have ever considered doing a Sh*tbox Rally I would highly recommend it! You don't have to be a mechanic or have a perfect car, just giving it go for a great cause, life long memories, and meeting some amazing people!
Here's a team I've helped get their car ready for the upcoming sh*tbox rally in October!

Can't wait to fix what breaks on this next rally 🤣

It's getting close to that time of year again where I'll be disappearing for a couple of weeks to play in mud, dust, dirt, rocks and crossing rivers and climbing mountains with the Mighty Celica Suuupraaa 🤣
I'll be closed from August 11th till September 2nd.
Apologies if you need me between those dates, however I've had great chats with Matt Rowe from UltraTune Helensvale and I'd highly recommend giving him a call if you need anything.

Gotta say I'm absolutely stoked to find a local business that does mobile car grooming! With my best mate Frank riding along in the work ute it gets full of fur and with being so busy I hardly get time to give the ute a wash. I highly recommend these guys! Thank you very much Slimz Detailing!

Apologies for anyone that txt yesterday or this morning. I've smashed my work phone (4th time in 3 years) and won't have your messages until it's repaired, hopefully by tomorrow. I will reply when I can. I'm using a spare phone atm so all new messages and calls will be received! I'm currently preparing for a lecture about this from my wife when she gets home from work haha! 🤣😭🤣

Apologies for being away the last 2 weeks to all those who have reached out. It was a quick trip back to NZ to build cars I've had in storage ready to bring over to Queensland. One car had not run (seized engine) in over 8 years, and the other had been stored for 4 years. Engine and gearbox replacement, repairs, cleaning and assembly and admiring the amazing Kiwi night sky before racing back home.
