Why Queensland Performance Specialists GT Auto Garage Trust Motul

Building horsepower is easy. Building a car that survives repeated track sessions, race weekends, and years of hard driving is where the real challenge begins.

That's a challenge the team at GT Auto Garage knows well.

Based in Slacks Creek GT Auto Garage has spent more than two decades earning a reputation as one of Queensland's most respected performance workshops. From routine servicing through to championship-winning race cars, they've built their business around one simple principle: performance means nothing without reliability.

From Street Cars to Championship Winners

Walk through the workshop and you'll quickly understand why GT Auto Garage has become a destination for serious enthusiasts.

As an HKS Pro Dealer and HKS F-CON Tuning Centre the team works across a wide range of performance platforms, providing tuning, fabrication, engine building, diagnostics, race preparation, and motorsport support.

The workshop is particularly well known for its extensive experience with the Nissan R35 GT-R. Over the years, GT Auto Garage has developed, maintained, and tuned everything from street-driven examples to high-horsepower builds capable of handling serious circuit abuse.

For many Queensland GT-R owners, GT Auto Garage has become the go-to name when performance and reliability both matter.

Motorsport Is the Ultimate Test

What separates GT Auto Garage from many performance workshops is its connection to Australian motorsport.

The team has played an important role in the preparation and support of some of the country's most competitive time attack and circuit cars, including the championship-winning Tanuki Racing S13, driven by two-time Bathurst winner Todd Hazelwood.

Competing at the front of Australian motorsport places enormous demands on every component in a vehicle. Engines operate under extreme temperatures, driveline components are exposed to relentless stress, and reliability often becomes the difference between a podium finish and an early retirement.

It's an environment that quickly exposes weaknesses and rewards proven products.

Why Lubricants Matter More Than Most People Think

Performance parts often steal the spotlight, but experienced builders understand that reliability is built on the fundamentals.

The right lubricant plays a critical role in protecting engines, gearboxes, differentials, and other high-load components from the heat and punishment that come with modern performance driving.

Whether it's a daily-driven GT-R, a dedicated track car, or a championship contender, proper lubrication can have a significant impact on durability, consistency, and long-term performance.

That's one of the reasons GT Auto Garage has chosen to use Motul products throughout the workshop.

A Proven Choice for High-Performance Applications

Motul has built a global reputation through decades of involvement in motorsport and high-performance automotive applications, making it a natural fit for a workshop that lives and breathes performance.

Today, GT Auto Garage uses Motul lubricants across a wide range of customer vehicles and race-focused builds, helping ensure the same level of protection trusted in demanding conditions is available to every customer who walks through the door.

Customers can also purchase Motul products directly in-store, giving enthusiasts access to the same lubricants used by the workshop on many of its own projects and customer vehicles.

Performance Backed by Experience

For GT Auto Garage, choosing products isn't about marketing claims. It's about using components that have proven themselves in real-world conditions.

From high-powered R35 GT-Rs to championship-winning time attack cars, the workshop's reputation has been built on reliability, attention to detail, and results.

Adding Motul to the equation simply reinforces that approach.

Because making power gets the headlines. Keeping that power alive is what wins races.
