"Undeniably the best mechanical team I have found in Sydney. Great work at honest prices. A+ communication and genuine service that has never left me feeling ripped off which is hard to find. Thanks team!"

"Great service. Fair price and flexible. I never feel like I've been ripped off when we get work done here. My wife dropped in her car with what we thought were squeaking brakes and the guys checked it out, found out the issue and didn't charge her because it was a simple fix. I definitely recommend Ryde Automotive and we use them regularly."

"Highly recommended. I've been going to Peter and his guys for 2 cars now for the past 3 years. Top service and comms, and will always look after you! Thank you Peter and team!"
Shah Fazim
Log book servicing
"Excellent service! I had to get my blue slip and front tyres changed and it was all done in 2 hours. Very efficient and reasonable price. Peter is really nice and super helpful. Definitely recommend!"
Valerie Chan
Blue slip & tyres
"Luckily got a same day appointment for a rego inspection — super professional and quick. Clearly identified upcoming service requirements and a reasonable timeframe I should consider doing them in. Made sure I knew I could do all of the required servicing there but wasn't pushy or pressuring me at all. Amazing service! Will be going back for my next service there!"
Alan
Rego inspection
"Excellent service and communication, especially as it was an unscheduled arrival on the back of a tow truck. I trust these guys completely."

We're the workshop you might have driven past a hundred times without knowing we were there — tucked in behind the 7-Eleven on Blaxland Road, downstairs. That suits us fine. Ryde Automotives has never been about flashy signs; it's about the regular who drops both family cars in year after year, and the mate they send our way afterwards.
A price before we start
You approve the quote first. If something changes mid-job, we call with photos and re-quote before going further.
Honest to a fault
If it's a two-minute fix, that's what you pay for. Sometimes nothing. Our reviews say it better than we can.
Old cars, new cars, same care
Daily runabout or weekend classic, every car gets the same patience and the same straight talk.

You'll find us at 332 Blaxland Road, Ryde — but we're easy to miss from the street. The workshop sits behind the 7-Eleven petrol station, downstairs at the rear of the site. Drive in past the servo and head down; there's parking right at the workshop. If you're unsure, call (02) 9809 0999 and we'll talk you in.
Yes. Most eSafety Checks (pink slips) take around half an hour and are regularly done while you wait. Blue slips take longer because they're a more detailed inspection. Call ahead and we'll tell you the next gap — customers often get same-day appointments. If the car passes, the result is lodged electronically with Service NSW straight away.
Absolutely — they're a regular part of the workshop. Recent jobs include a 1970s Toyota Corolla pink slip, a Mustang GT 5.0 service and a C8 Corvette brake inspection, alongside everyday family cars. Older classics, Aussie muscle, Japanese icons and modern European performance cars are all welcome.
Always. You get a clear price before any work begins, and if we find something unexpected mid-job we call you — usually with photos — to explain and re-quote before going further. The decision is always yours. It's the reason so many of our Google reviews mention honesty and fair pricing.
Yes, within the local area. If you're in Ryde, West Ryde, Gladesville, Eastwood or nearby, we can collect your car, service or repair it at the workshop, and return it when it's done. Just mention it when you book so we can plan the run around your job.
We're open Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, and Saturday mornings from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm. Closed Sundays. Saturday is popular for while-you-wait rego checks, so calling ahead is a good idea. Outside hours, send an email and we'll get back to you the next business day.
