We would like to invite you to come and take a look at one of the largest independent Mechanical Workshops in Brendale. As part of our endeavour to provide excellent and improved service, we have recently moved to modern premises located at

Carmen Import Centre is an Australian company located in Brisbane, Queensland, and has been established since 1997. We are a Registered Automotive Workshop, certified to ISO 9001:2000, for the provision of importing and modifying right hand drive vehicles to comply with the Motor Vehicles Standards Act 1989 in accordance with the RAWS Scheme.

As part of our unique business setup, we are able to take care of all your Vehicle Compliance needs, as well as assist with your selection and purchase. We source vehicles direct from Japan from trusted business relationships and associates, and do not rely upon Japanese auction houses thereby minimizing the risk of substandard vehicles and high prices. We also provide compliance only options.

Australia wide warranties are available on all vehicles sold. Our fully equipped technical workshop is able to maintain, repair and service our own and other imported vehicles, with access to new and used parts sourced both in Australia and Japan. We have up to date diagnosis scan equipment, test equipment and workshop facilities, all housed in our modern service centre.

Other import services include personal imports, 15 year old compliance and modification certification. Please contact us for further information.

People ask why Carmen Import Centre is so successful. The simple answer is we are committed to our customers and delivering your requirements with integrity. We can streamline the process and save you money - that is our aim in each and every transaction, without compromising quality.

So whether you require us to provide the full purchase and import process, need assistance or advice, or help you with a vehicle issue, remember that our reputation has grown from helping others just like you.
