Unfortunately, I cannot give a good review. I went to do an inspection in my car, and they were…read morelate, I waited because I was 10 min late, so I waited 10 more minutes, after that I started asking about what time would be the service, then they said that they wouldn't have time to do everything and they wouldn't charge, but of course, I paid the total price, for a half service. Then I tried to contact them, asking if possible to finish checking what they didn't have time to do in the last service, and I haven't got any answer from them. Also, they were also charging 1600 dollars to change the timing belt with the water pump, wichich is ridiculous. Also, I asked how much would be the labour for installing a new "start motor", which was a price 2 times more than the fair price of a service.

I also had issues at other mechanics as some didn't fix things properly, resulting in more problems soon after, but going to Gringo always resolved everything for the long term. I also love how they let me know about things that will need doing in advance with quotes, so I can prepare myself for expenses to come. They also show me the issues so I can better understand my car and what they do. They are the best!

My Autobarn Black Friday Experience…read more By a man who only wanted clean cars and a quiet life Today's journey through the hallowed halls of Autobarn Upper Coomera could best be described as a fascinating anthropological study in retail chaos, emotional fragility, and the tragic misuse of the phrase "it's all ready for you." Let me set the scene. Having been recommended Bowden's Own car care products by a friend who swears by them with the sort of passion usually reserved for religion, politics, or early Beatles albums, I made the noble decision to pre-order my chosen elixirs via telephone. This was strategic. Surgical. Flawless. I explained that I would be arriving--credit card holstered, primed, and ready for rapid deployment--so it would be splendid if the products were prepared at the spare parts counter, where I was assured they would await me like obedient disciples. Ah, sweet innocence. Act I: The Counter of Broken Promises Upon arrival I swaggered toward the parts desk, fully expecting a smooth, elegant transaction worthy of a Black Friday success montage. Instead, I was told: "Yes, we have the list... but unfortunately, because of Black Friday, we, uh... haven't been able to assist yet." Beautiful. Poetic. Shakespeare couldn't have written tragedy with timing that precise. But not to worry, a young team member--fresh from the retail trenches--was allegedly going to take over. All I had to do was return later. Sunday? Absolutely not a problem, I was told. This confidence will age like milk. Act II: The Return -- Hope Dies Quickly Returning today, armed with optimism and a credit card with high self-esteem, I was greeted by the manager himself. He approached with the energy of a man preparing to audition for MasterChef: Excuses Edition. Rather than simply say, "Sorry mate, we dropped the ball," he instead lovingly wove a tapestry of explanations, tightly stitched with panic, denial, and the unmistakable aura of someone experiencing either retail menopause or the emotional turbulence of a teenager discovering their first period. He became so irritated that I half expected him to throw a Bowden's Own Snow Job Foam Lance at my head and declare the entire store a "feelings unsafe zone." Act III: The Pilgrimage to the Bowden Shelf The manager then escorted us--very abruptly--to the Bowden's section, before abandoning us like an unwanted child at a bus stop. No guidance. No conversation. Just evaporated into the fluorescent-lit distance. Thank goodness for Google, who, unlike my retail Sherpa, chose to fulfil its guiding purpose. And here's the twist: The products he swore were unavailable, impossible to source, tragically depleted due to Black Friday madness... were quite literally sitting on the shelf with enough stock to last the next 10 months. Stacked. Shining. Mocking. A miracle? No. Just general incompetence with bad dramatic flair. Contextual Tragedy We have two brand new vehicles. We were ready. We were eager. We were prepared to spend real money. Bowden's Own was highly recommended by an actual expert. But Autobarn Upper Coomera managed to turn what should have been a 90-second swipe-and-leave transaction into an epic saga of frustration, disappointment, and emotional retail turbulence. Final Review Score If I were a mystery shopper? 2 out of 10. The "2" is generous and awarded solely because the store's front door opened successfully when I walked in. If I were Bowden's Head of Sales? I would be asking serious questions about whether Autobarn genuinely has the brand's best interests in mind--or whether the staff simply grab whichever excuse is closest to hand and hope no one notices the shelves full of product right behind them.

Great service and a really great range. The staff here have helped me out multiple times.read more
