Bob Aldons
Bob Aldons, formally the owner of Northstar Motor Group sold his dealerships in August 2015. Subsequent to the settlement, Bob has slowly formed a trusted Brisbane company that specializes in many facets of the car business.
Bob has nearly 40 years of first- hand experience as a dealer. And if Bob doesn’t have the answer to your question, he also has a broad range of acquaintances he can ask for advice.
“I’ve got a pretty good grasp of most aspects of the business. I’ve been called a lot of things in my time – Car Doctor, Car Professor, The Car Guru or simply The Car Guy, but whenever someone wants some sensible advice, they call me.”
Car Business is happy to provide free advice on new cars or any other car issue you have. So if you want to chat to ‘The Car Guy’, call our Brisbane office.

Car Review | Mazda MX-5 | August 2024
Press Release – 2024 MG Cyberster
Review | Nissan X-Trail ST-L 7 Seat | May 2024
Welcome!
Hello and welcome to my new website thecarguy.com.au!
I know that there’s a lot of websites that offer car reviews, car road tests, opinions on various cars and the like. What makes this site different is that I’m not going to bore you with technical information about the various cars that I review.
I’ve been in the car business for over 39 years. I’ve read the motoring magazines cover to cover. I’ve read the online reviews until my eyes were square. Everywhere that I go, I find motoring journalists talking about car speeds – 0 – 100 km per hour, standing ¼ times, the inclination of this and that at 150klm per hour on a 12.5% gradient curve, in rainy weather – and other stuff that bores me no end.
thecarguy.com.au is taking a different path on the journey to helping you purchase a new car. I’ll do my best to advise you on what I consider to be the most important information when it comes to that major decision to purchase a car. Interior room, features of the car, fuel economy, safety, service prices, resale and lots more. I’ll tell you what I like about a particular car and as importantly, what I don’t like, to find at least to be less than I think a car should have. .
And I’ll ask for your opinion. Take some pics of what you’re driving and tell me and our audience what you particularly like or dislike about your car. Because besides prospective new car buyers, there’s a lot of people who’ll read your comments as used car buyers.
So, jump on board, strap yourself in and let’s start out on the journey with The Car Guy.
