Some Features include…

Multi Authorisation

Optional Key Fob/Mobile phone with Author Connect app or user defined security Pin code using OEM steering wheel buttons. (Changeable Pin code)

Tiny Size

Digital Design

The amazing digital design is one of a kind and deters thieves. A truly one of a kind immobiliser, patented by Author Alarm.

Will Not Void Warranty

Thanks to its innovative design, IGLA can be installed without the need to terminate any factory wires meaning your new car warranty remains. It uses the factory wiring to silently and invisibly carry out tasks.

Booked my car in for an essential service after the business was recommended on some euro car forums and they did not disappoint. I had a great service experience. Stephen was easy to deal with, he provided a honest review of the car. The service was done for the agreed price and I got my car back faster than I thought I would. Will definitely use them again!

Being from Victoria & purchasing a car from Queensland was difficult without flying to QLD to look at the car. So I contacted Stephen from Motion Motive & asked if he could help me out. I had the car BMW taken to the workshop. Where Stephen went above and beyond to make sure that everything was okay. He serviced the car, fixed the air conditioner & even cleaned it, I couldn’t have asked for better service. When I picked up the car from the workshop I was amazed at how clean & organised everything was, so professional. I wish Motion Motive was in Victoria

After being referred to Steven at Motionmotive for the stage 3 ARI/Coco upgrade on my Abarth 124. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of workmanship and attention to detail he provides. All while be a top notch bloke as well! Customer service is on point, his workshop is immaculate and his prices are very fair for the workmanship provided. Since my upgrade and service, i have been back this week for a timing belt change, spark plug change, transmission flush, break flush, 110,000km service and the car has never run better! Highly recommend Steven and his work ( as i already do on our car clubs forums ) Greg

Highly recommend! Stephen was extremely helpful, professional, and went above & beyond to talk me through how BMW misdiagnosed the issue with my 5 Series & ultimately rectified the issue (& others!) for less than a third of the price quoted by BMW. My car’s never driven better! The workshop is immaculate & you can tell Stephen and his small team are passionate car enthusiasts and experts. I can’t ever see myself ever taking my car elsewhere, and I certainly won’t ever waste my time and money with a sloppy dealer workshop!

I received absurd quotes from other mechanics to fix an A/C compressor issue and luckily I went to these guys as I ended up spending a quarter of the price and my car is as good as new. So happy I found them and I will definitely be going back!

I had just moved back to Brisbane and was looking for a new mechanic to service my car. Motionmotive was recommended by a number of people. Stephen was very friendly and professional to deal with. A great communicator. He is incredibly respectful of his clients. He did a great service on my car and the cost was very reasonable. You can tell he is well organised and you can see he has an exceptionally clean workshop. I have since recommended him to a number of my friends. They've also been really happy with the warm friendly and professional service they received.

After having taken my Audi Q7 to two other reasonably large Euro mechanics a number of times and receiving very second rate service I went to Stephen @ Motionmotive. Just on first impressions I was impressed by the tidy, organised workshop, then upon talking with Stephen I had a strong sense that he was an honest, knowledgeable, and very fair guy who actually took an interest in the issues I'd been having with my car. Having taken my car to Stephen on a couple of occasions now I am pleased to say those first impressions and expectations have been well exceeded. You will not find a more diligent, thorough, honest, thoughtful and clever mechanic in Brisbane, Stephen @ Motionmotive is the man!
