The Automotive Ecosystem
More Than a Marketplace.
An Ecosystem Connecting the Future.
NexAutoHub brings Australia's entire automotive world onto one intelligent platform — the people who own vehicles, the professionals who service them, and the next generation of talent who'll keep the industry moving. And it's completely free, for everyone.
Our Story
Australia's automotive aftermarket is a $40+ billion industry — yet for most vehicle owners, finding a reliable, experienced service provider still feels like a leap of faith. For skilled workshops, getting in front of the right customers remains just as hard. And for the technicians and graduates who power the trade, finding the right workshop to build a career in has barely changed in decades.
Think about how other industries transformed. Ride-sharing made transport transparent. Food delivery made ordering instant. Accommodation platforms gave travellers the power to compare, read real reviews, and book with complete confidence. The automotive world — one of the most significant recurring expenses for Australian households, and one of the country's biggest skilled trades — has largely been left behind.
NexAutoHub was born to close that gap — for everyone. What started as a bridge between car owners and mechanics has grown into something bigger: a connected ecosystem where vehicle owners book with confidence, workshops grow their business with intelligent tools, and technicians launch and build their careers — all in one place, all working together.
For vehicle owners, that means transparent prices, verified providers, AI-powered recommendations, instant booking, and a complete digital service history for every vehicle you own. And not just cars — from family hatchbacks and EVs to trucks, boats, agricultural machinery and construction equipment, the ecosystem covers the vehicles that keep Australian life and industry moving.
For workshops and service providers, it means real bookings, quote management, work-order tracking, calendar sync, AI-driven insights — and a direct line to qualified technicians when it's time to grow the team. For technicians and trade graduates, it means a careers hub where your skills are matched to real roles at verified workshops.
And here's the part that makes us different: NexAutoHub is the only Australian automotive platform that offers all of this completely free. No subscriptions, no listing fees, no commissions taken from providers, no charges for customers or technicians. We win when the whole ecosystem wins.
Three communities. One ecosystem. Built for all of them.

What We Stand For
These aren't just values on a wall — they're the principles behind every decision we make for every side of our ecosystem.
Free for Everyone
We're the only Australian automotive platform that's completely free for every community we serve — no subscriptions, no commissions, no listing fees, no catches. Customers book free, providers grow free, technicians find work free.
Trust & Transparency
Every provider is verified before they appear on our platform. Pricing is upfront, reviews are genuine, quotes spell out exactly what's included, and accountability runs both ways. What you see is what you get, every time.
Intelligence Built In
AI isn't a gimmick here — it's the engine. Smart search that understands symptoms, recommendations that weigh rating and distance, skill-matched job applications, and a voice assistant that can find, quote and book for you.
Proudly Australian
Headquartered in Melbourne, Victoria, we understand the Australian automotive landscape — from the backstreet workshop that's been there 30 years, to the family searching for a trustworthy mechanic, to the TAFE graduate picking up their first set of tools.
Meet the Founder
Thimothi Manamperi
Founder, NexAutoHub · Melbourne, Australia
NexAutoHub was founded by Thimothi Manamperi, a Melbourne-based technologist with over a decade of experience leading digital transformation across the telecom, government and private sectors — including years at Telstra.
His background sits where customer service meets software engineering, building AI and automation platforms for large organisations. One belief drives everything: technology should make life easier for real people and real businesses — not squeeze them.
“The big platforms charge workshops commission and lead fees, squeezing businesses already running on thin margins. I wanted to build the opposite — a platform that’s genuinely free, and gives car owners transparency and trust.”
