R & G Auto Electrics
About this opportunity
For more than four decades, R & G Auto Electrics has stood as one of Mackay’s most trusted and respected names in auto electrical and air?conditioning services. Established an impressive 42 years ago, this business has become synonymous with quality workmanship, technical expertise, and dependable service across the region. Its longevity alone speaks volumes, businesses simply do not thrive for this long without exceptional customer loyalty, strong operational systems, and a reputation built on consistent results.
Trading five days a week, R & G Auto Electrics offers the perfect balance of profitability and lifestyle. The business has been deliberately structured to deliver strong returns without the need for extended trading hours, making it an attractive proposition for both hands?on owner?operators and investors seeking a well?established, smoothly run enterprise. With a highly skilled team already in place, the incoming owner can step confidently into a business that is fully operational, well?resourced, and primed for continued success.
Business Story
One of the greatest strengths of R & G Auto Electrics is its ability to service an exceptionally wide range of vehicles and industries. The business is equipped and experienced in handling all vehicle types—new or old—including passenger vehicles, 4WDs, agricultural machinery, commercial fleets, and heavy machinery. This diversity ensures a steady flow of work year?round and protects the business from fluctuations in any single market segment.
The business also specialises in Mine Spec fit?outs, a high?demand service in the Mackay region due to its proximity to major mining operations. This includes the installation of safety lighting, communication systems, isolation switches, battery setups, and other compliance?driven requirements. With mining continuing to be one of Queensland’s strongest economic pillars, this service line alone represents a significant and ongoing revenue stream.
R&G Auto Electrics enjoys one of the most strategic positions available. The business operates from a 659m² secured block situated in the heart of Mackay’s largest and most active industrial estate, a high?visibility, high?traffic zone surrounded by complementary businesses, major operators, and a constant flow of commercial, agricultural, and heavy?vehicle clients.
The premises include a 350m² shed complete with office space and amenities, providing a professional, functional, and well?organised environment for both staff and customers. Additionally, the property offers 300m² of hardstand, ideal for vehicle storage, machinery access, and efficient workflow management. The fact that the freehold premises is also available for purchase elevates this opportunity significantly—buyers can secure not only a thriving business but also a valuable industrial asset in a tightly held location.
A major advantage for any incoming owner is the presence of a highly experienced, professionally trained team. Auto electrical work requires technical skill, diagnostic ability, and precision—qualities that take years to develop. R&G Auto Electrics has invested heavily in building a team that is not only competent but also committed to delivering exceptional service.
Opportunities like this do not come along often. R&G Auto Electrics is a long?standing institution with a long history, a prime industrial location, a diverse and loyal customer base, and a highly skilled team, and a turnkey operation that offers immediate profitability and long?term stability.
The option to purchase the freehold premises further strengthens the investment, providing security, capital growth potential, and the ability to control your operating environment without the uncertainty of leasing.
Whether you are an experienced operator looking to expand, a skilled auto electrician ready to step into ownership of a reliable, well?established business with strong returns, R & G Auto Electrics represents an exceptional opportunity.

Phil started his working career in purchasing with large and multi-national companies in Sydney.
A family relocation to Bowen in 1974 was the catalyst to owning his own business.
Phil has been in various businesses from Pest Control to Delicatessen/Takeaway and has for the last 39 years built a wholesale business that has served Bowen, Whitsundays, Mackay and the Coalfields, from 1 truck and himself to 6 trucks and 15 employees.
This has given Phil a very solid knowledge of the area from Bowen to Rockhampton and what it takes to thrive in business there.
Phil has a strong knowledge of business and business practices built through the process of growing his own business as well as time spent on State Franchise Council and dealing with the many changing government policies in those 39 years.
The process of selling his own business has shown Phil the real need for a locally based business broker, easily contacted and heavily focused on the Central Queensland area, which has led to his involvement in CQ Business Brokers.
