Who we are

A local workshop
you can actually trust

Formerly known as Henley Beach Automatics and Mechanical, the business was rebranded as LJ Automotive in 2022. Same workshop, same hands-on approach. Just a new name over the door.

We're family-owned and operated, and that shows up in how we work: you get told what's actually wrong, what it'll cost, and what can wait. No upselling, no surprises on the invoice.

  • Honest advice on what needs doing now and what can wait
  • Quality workmanship on most makes and models
  • Dedicated to looking after our local community
