How the workshop runs

Andrew posted it himself after the Tweed Valley Weekly wrote about the business in 2024. A customer had to tell him he was in the paper.

“Trust, Communication, Confidence, Respect and a smile is the key.”
Andrew Barnett, proprietor

What we do

The jobs on the sign out front.

It's all written on the board by the door, and that's the work Andrew does every day. One workshop, one mechanic you can talk to directly.

The man on the sign

Meet Andrew Barnett.

Andrew opened Tweed Valley Automotive in 2011, and he'd already spent years in the trade by then. All up he's got 35 years of experience, and his name goes on the shopfront, the counter and the licence.

When you ring the workshop, you're talking to the person who'll actually work on your car. He's the one who'll explain what he found, and he's the one thanking customers on Facebook every Christmas for coming back year after year.

In 2024 the Tweed Valley Weekly wrote him up. He only found out because a customer came in and told him.

“Last month, Andrew serviced my car & got it ready for rego - efficient, friendly service & my car is running like a dream again. Called in today with a flickering indicator - Andrew took my car in & replaced it - immediate service with a friendly smile! Thanks Andrew for making a new comer to town feel so welcome.”

Remember the yellow sign?

Long-time customers will know the workshop by its old yellow sign and the (02) 6672 3262 number. The sign has had a facelift. The workshop number still rings, and so does Andrew's mobile.
