This is where I will normally go in order to get my car serviced or repaired. Originally owned by a…read moreman I referred to as Pak, the business has since been sold to one of the people who used to work for him. That said, the service is still good and the price I pay for it is reasonable as well. I really got tired of being taken on a ride with a lot of other franchised car service centres which shall remain unnamed, who would charge me 4 times than what I would normally pay because they managed to find things that "had" to be fixed in the car. Not knowing anything or much about cars, this made me an easy target for places like these and eventually I caught on that half of the things they recommended fixing were not critical to safety. Sure, your car runs better, things would be newer, but was it necessary? No, not all. At Paks auto you can expect a fair price, and the owner will call you up before he does anything outside of what you have asked him to do, such as if he finds something that really does need repairing. They do general servicing and repairs so if you live in the area and are looking for a place to do any of that with your car, swing by Paks Auto.

After being quoted excessively and unreasonably from larger franchises, Transtec Automotives is in…read moremany cases a friendly and cheaper alternative. The staff are efficient and reasonable, which suits me just fine. I got referred here from a family member, who got referred from a friend and so on. In all I have never heard any complaints across he board, and although it is not necessary the fanciest garage in the world, it still get the job done with little fuss. So next time you get quoted an insane price to fix your car, perhaps visit Transtc Automotives before shedding any tears. The only thing is that they are not open weekends, which can be a bit of a bugger depending on when your car decides to give up on you.

Had my AUDI transmission computer go on me...apparently very normal for them. Went to the shop that…read moredoes my tuning and they put me onto 2 'transmission' guys in the city. 1 was hazy on price / what I was describing & I had to book in a time for him to do an assessment of the error messages. This guy said "yep seen 100-150" / this is the price / drop in wherever and we'll hook it up & have a look. That computer readout took 5 minutes! Gave then the job. All done at the price quoted that was a lot less than the other guy... Recommend!

I have been coming to Holdfast Auto Repairs for many years for repairs and service (for my car, I…read moreshould add). John, who runs the place, is one of those old school friendly, reliable and trustworthy mechanics. The repairs are always done promptly and well and they offer a "chauffeur service" if you can't get home. It is a small, family run business and it is run well. John's other mechanic whom I call "smiley" because he is, and I cant remember his name, is also great. Last time I had my car in for servicing he noticed some other little thing on the body of the car that was bent out of shape (don't ask me any technical terms ) and went out of his way to fix it. I would highly recommend this auto repairs, especially for females who don't know anything about cars because you won't get ripped off! Tip: It is a little hard to find when you go for the first time as the signage doesn't stand out.

I called Mobile Brake Repairs recently to replace the front discs and pads on my car. Not only did…read morethey offer the best price of the places I called but they were quick to provide a quote and to book my car in. They turned up on time as promised and completed the job so quickly that I assumed the mechanic had come to the door to ask a question, not to tell me that he had finished. The car now drives really well and brakes as smoothly as it ever has. Great job!

These guys are great! Last week I asked them if they could possibly look at my car because I…read morethought there was something wrong with it. The man on the phone said he would squeeze me in, which he didn't have too. When I picked my car up, they said they checked everything for me and said that it was fine! The man at the desk wouldn't let me pay either, which I did question him about 3 times! He was lovely and honest! So today I took my car back to be serviced even though he told me it didn't need it, I still felt as though I wanted it done because it had been a while. I went to pick it up and it was ready on time and extremely cheap! Told me what they did, went through everything! Amazing service and amazing guy! I'm extremely nervous when it comes to tradies and mechanics and stuff as I've dealt with some dodgies along the way. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else now! Great place!

I went there on my way to work at 8am and had a lovely guy take all the details of my car - looking in places I would never have thought to check on what would be needed. A few days later I got a call and my little Mitsi was booked in. The repairer kept me updated as to what needed to be done via message so as not to disturb me at work and let me know when the repairs were going to be delayed due to a lack of parts. He even checked my wheel alignment as he was concerned that may have been impacted. They were flexible about pick up times and we arranged for me to pick my car up after hours with them leaving my key in an inconspicuous place. Overall I was really happy with the work they did on my Mitsi and the customer service was out of this world.
