Orlando and Cátia Coelho
A workshop the park knows by name
Ratinho Auto sits on Rua 23-A of the old Quimiparque industrial park, now the Baía do Tejo business park in Barreiro. The Ratinho name has been on these streets for years; since 2022 the workshop is run by Orlando and Cátia Coelho.
Orlando looks after the workshop floor and the customers; Cátia keeps the reception and parts counter, the one with orchids and two little mice on it. In between there's a waiting room with stools we made from old tyres.
What customers say most: the work is careful, the advice is honest, and the prices are fair.

What customers say
In their own words
I took my BMW in for a coolant leak; the radiator was leaking and it got a new one. The mechanic who looked after me was 5 stars and so was the owner. The car came back perfectly aligned even though the whole front had been taken apart. Spotless. I recommend it.
Excellent service. They try to sort things fast, but there's a lot of demand for this workshop. Top marks from me: good service, fair prices. Big hug, Sr Orlando, thank you.
— Pedro Vieira Good service. My car came out looking almost new. Very good paint and mechanics.
— Ana Martins The person in charge is trustworthy and careful with customers. They always look for the best solution, agreed with the customer. Inexpensive, with good work guaranteed.
— João Marques Polite reception. I explained what I needed; they analysed, diagnosed and fixed it. Thank you, and I recommend them.
— Rui Bastos The best workshop on the south bank.
— Fernando Baltar
