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

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the initial phone conversation with Justin, he explained the problem and what was required I had a quote sent within half an hour. My car went in and a couple of days later we picked it up. Problem solved, runs great. It was through word of mouth and a good outcome from a mate that I chose to use Ron Hill Automotive and I would definitely recommend to anyone.Posted on Andy DaltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ron Hill fixed the shuddering in one of our fleet vehicles. Their service was fast and professional. They keep you in the loop after the inspection and during the work and speak in lay terms. I would recommend this business.Posted on Adam DemlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fit us in and did in a day so we could wait for it as travelled from Brisbane. New torque converter and valve upgrade . Drives fantastic now.????Posted on Peter ObrienTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. RHA. They are professional and personal. We needed a transmission service for our Toyota Corolla sedan. With the basic details they were able to quote accurately for standard servicing at a great price.They are fast with email and txt time for drop and pickup. We are very satisfied with phone conversation and over the counter friendly care. Recommend for family atmosphere and excellent car care. We'll be back!Posted on David FowlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Squeezed me in 2 hours after I called to fit a trans cooler, a day before they closed for Christmas. Was insanely helpful as I was traveling through for Chrissy and my trans was cooking after a gvm upgrade. While I was waiting they Dropped and picked me up from the plaza. If I was local I would be back when my service was due.Posted on Bradley AustinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the auto trans recently serviced @ Ron Hill Automatics, great job from online enquiry, quote, confirmation of booking details, actual job done on time as per quote. My Camry had no issues before and certainly not after, just an ex police car that was seriously overdue for an auto trans service. Good value for money, left feeling confident my auto trans is ready for further work.Posted on andrew NolanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took my Navarra in for a transmission service 30,000 Km know it was early was flaring between five and six. They dropped the oil put a new filter on it checked it out. put it all back together. Now it dose not flare from five and six anymore running perfect. nice and smooth thank you very much to Ron Hill automaticsPosted on Adam DevereuxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went for torque converter job. All done and transmission cooler put in.Posted on Greg HartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a fantastic experience dealing with Ron Hill Automatics. Yep I was one with one of those dreaded Colorado’s with torque converter issues, I had tried others but only a band aid fix was applied, no stuffing around here, straight to the point, no hidden costs, everything is up front and honest. Dropped the vehicle off midday Wednesday and picked it up 7am Friday morning, upgrade applied, new torque converter installed…nothing was a problem. Would I recommend this Team…hell yeah, I’ll be letting everyone I know that has any hint of transmission problems to get in touch with them. Many thanks AKPosted on A K
