About Us

For over 50 years, Ron Hill Automatics has been Australia’s trusted name in automatic transmission services.

Our journey began in 1975 when Ron Hill first began repairing automatics in Brisbane. Over five decades, we’ve held tight to the passion, growing our specialist automatic transmission expertise year after year.

A Legacy of Service

Our Unwavering History

The genesis of Ron Hill Automatics began at The Gap, Brisbane in 1975, establishing the foundations of our technical expertise and good old fashioned customer service. As the business grew, Ron brought in Bill Olah as a partner, whose dedication and organisational knowledge helped cement RHA’s reputation as a leading Automatic Transmission specialist workshop.

For over 50 years, RHA has continually adapted to changing vehicle generations and evolving automatic transmission technologies. This commitment ensures that regardless of your vehicle’s age, we hold the technical capability to deliver reliable results.

Evolving with Every Gear

A Generational Focus on Specialisation

Ron Hill retired from the business two decades ago, leaving behind a strong foundation built on automatic transmission expertise and genuine customer service. For more than 30 years, Bill Olah has been a core part of RHA, helping shape the workshop into the specialist operation it is today. The business is now led by Bill’s son, Tim, co owner and Managing Director, who continues the legacy established by Ron and strengthened by Bill. Today, RHA continues as a family owned and operated business, with multiple generations actively involved in its day to day operation.

For more than 50 years, RHA has specialised exclusively in automatic transmissions. This long-standing focus and consistent leadership are why vehicle owners across Australia rely on us for the toughest transmission challenges.
