Meet Bellbowrie Mechanical – Seventeen Mile Rocks’ Trusted Family Mechanics Since 1985
Bellbowrie Mechanical is a family-owned and operated business based at 17 Staple Street, Seventeen Mile Rocks. We proudly service Brisbane’s western suburbs with reliable, transparent, expert auto repairs.
As a long-established Seventeen Mile Rocks mechanic and auto repair shop, we have always focused on delivering top-quality artistry and honest service that keeps your vehicle running its best.
Our story starts with Claude Ciccotelli, who began his automotive career in 1968 as an apprentice at the Moorooka Chrysler Dealership. He later managed the Shell Walton Bridge workshop in The Gap, training apprentices and developing a deep passion for technical precision.
In 1985, Claude and his brother Leo took over BP Kenmore and built a strong local following until the business was redeveloped in 1999. In January 2000, Claude opened Bellbowrie Mechanical, located initially at BP Bellbowrie.
Outside the workshop, Claude made his mark in motorsport, particularly karting, where he won numerous state and national titles across Queensland and New South Wales.
His commitment to excellence continues to shape how we do things today.
