What Our Customers’ Say
“5/5 Stars – Incredible Support and Expert Technical Knowledge!
I cannot thank the team at FJ Manning Motor Repairs in Stafford enough for their role in my racing success. I race an E36 BMW, and for the 2025 season, I needed the perfect suspension and geometry setup to be truly competitive.
Even though I live in Rockhampton and couldn't bring the car down to Brisbane, FJ Manning stepped up. They supplied the exact, high-level wheel alignment technical data and specifications for my local alignment guy to follow.
Thanks to their spot-on technical expertise and precision data, the car handled beautifully. With that setup, I went on to win the 2025 Replica Tourers Trophy Series Championship!
If you want a team that truly understands performance, BMWs, and motorsport geometry—even from hundreds of kilometres away—FJ Manning Motor Repairs is the absolute best in the business. Highly recommended!”

“Phenomenal alignment work—the car has never handled better!
I took my E46 BMW race car to FJ Manning Motor Repairs for a full wheel alignment, and the results were absolutely incredible.
I ran a round at Lakeside Park on August 8th, and the car handled the best it ever has. The precision and expertise they put into setting up the suspension made a massive difference on the track. The turn-in was sharp, the car felt perfectly balanced through the high-speed corners, and it gave me total confidence to push it to the absolute limit.
If you need a proper setup for your track or race car, I cannot recommend the team at FJ Manning enough. They truly know what they are doing. Five stars!”

Incredible results once again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently took my VC Commodore replica tourer to FJ Manning Motor Repair (Race Division) for a full race prep and wheel alignment, and the results are absolute night and day.
The difference on the track is unbelievable. The precision and expertise their team brings to race prep completely transformed the handling and performance of the Commodore. It feels like a completely different beast—planted, responsive, and ready to win. If you want your race car dialled in by the absolute best in the business, FJ Manning is the only place to go.
Cheers to the team for the outstanding work!
