tyres and wheel alignment. Worst still they broke 2 of the rim protectors on my Tesla Y, that’s going to cost me about $80 to replace. I usually go to another chain (Jax) but being open Saturday thought I would give them a try, it looks like my partner’s car will be going to Jax Tyres.

RedBook Inspect
- See all
Disappointing experience – I would not recommend using this service. I booked RedBook Inspect to complete a pre-purchase vehicle inspection on a car… Read more
I was considering buying. Unfortunately, during the inspection, the vehicle was externally damaged.
RedBook Inspect did acknowledge responsibility for the damage and agreed to cover the cost of repairing the vehicle, which I appreciate. However, my experience with the handling of the claim afterwards has been extremely disappointing.
I was asked to obtain quotes for a hire vehicle while the repair process was being organised. After providing the requested information, I was later advised that my claim for hire vehicle costs would be refused. This means that, despite RedBook Inspect accepting responsibility for causing the damage, I would be left out of pocket for the cost of alternative transport during the estimated four-day repair period.
I believe this is an important consideration for anyone booking a vehicle inspection. A vehicle inspection is intended to provide confidence and peace of mind, but if damage occurs during the inspection process, customers should be aware that the company’s responsibility may be limited to the direct repair costs only.
I would encourage anyone considering using this company to carefully read the terms and conditions before booking an inspection. Although the company may cover the cost of repairing damage they cause, there may be limitations around other losses or expenses that occur as a result.
I would also suggest that anyone selling a vehicle carefully considers whether they are comfortable having their vehicle inspected by this company. A vehicle inspection should provide confidence to both buyers and sellers, and damage occurring during an inspection can create a very stressful situation for everyone involved.
Another concern was that RedBook Inspect did not handle the matter through insurance, meaning I was required to deal directly with the company rather than through an insurance process. This left me navigating the consequences of an incident that was not my fault.
Overall, while I acknowledge that RedBook Inspect accepted responsibility for the physical damage, the way the claim has been managed afterwards has left me disappointed. Based on my experience, I would not choose to use this service again and would recommend others carefully consider the potential risks before booking an inspection.
Instant Windscreens & Tinting

I went to have a small crack fixed in my windscreen. I had only just bought the car and noticed it a week later. When I got to the location, the… Read more
worker told me that someone had already fixed the crack previously. It was done recently and it was most likely that I'd just noticed it, instead of it getting bigger. He said in his oppinion the work was done very well and he did not need to do anything. He insisted on not touching it. He could've easily asked me to come back and taken my money but he didn't. If the window cracks in future and I believe the above is not longer true, I will remove this review. So if you are reading this, the honesty of this company still stands, and is of high integrity. I highly recommend.

Paid a $120 deposit after being told it was for job security. The technician arrived without the correct windscreen and could not complete the job.… Read more
When I requested a refund, he claimed the deposit was a call-out fee, which was never mentioned before payment. No service was provided, yet my deposit was kept. Very disappointing experience.

front mudguard and plastic wheel arch mould. The repair and colour match is perfect. Dave is very friendly and knows his work. The whole job was $250 cheaper than a panel shop in Blacktown. I highly recommend him.

Poor workmanship and very poor follow-up. The roof liner installation on my HSV Senator caused damage, including glue residue, broken trim, and… Read more
visible rippling. Despite emailing numerous times and being told the installer would contact me, no one ever did. I was forced to pay another company to redo the work and source replacement trim at my own expense. Not happy with this company and would not recommend.
Mycar (Kmart Tyre & Auto Service)
Beware of the claims - they don't care. All I wanted was for Head Office to forward an email to Nowra MyCar. Simples. I was told 1-2 days response.… Read more
10 days later - nil. Follow up to HO - 'nah call em on da fone mate'. But i want clear communications please forward email so no doubts. 'nah, call em'. No response from Nowra. Complained to Head Office Management re 'customer first' mantra having a SAY-DO gap - do they really guarantee customer first or is it empty rhetoric. Their reply: 'nah, like we said, mate, give 'em a call on da fone.' MyCar, HO and Nowra store have zero-service score with me. Beware of the claims - they don't care.

Merrylands & Holroyd Smash Repairs
I am extremely disappointed with my experience with this smash repair business. I chose this repairer based on the positive reviews I found online;… Read more
however, my own experience was completely different. From the beginning, the customer service was very poor, and even basic interactions with the receptionist made me feel unwelcome. My vehicle was with them for approximately eight months. I handed my car over in November 2025, and it was only returned in mid-June 2026. The repairs took far longer than expected. The panel beating work alone took around three months. When the car was returned, I found that the rear indicator lights had not been repaired correctly — my original LED lights had been replaced with standard lights. After raising the issue, they eventually corrected this. There were also issues with my vehicle’s air conditioning system, which stopped working after the accident repairs. Despite my concerns that this occurred during the repair process, the business did not accept responsibility. I had to arrange and pay for repairs separately through another auto-electrician. The reverse camera was also not repaired properly. They initially ordered an incorrect replacement from overseas and later determined that an aftermarket camera was required. After several follow-ups and complaints, the issue was eventually resolved. Overall, this was a very disappointing and stressful experience. The lengthy repair time, communication issues, and multiple problems with the completed work have left me with little confidence in this business. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this smash repairer. The lesson is don’t always trust the reviews.

My old car came up shiny bright. Great job, done on time at reasonable rates. Will get my return custom.
GoodYear AutoCare
I was staying in Goolwa and desperately needed to purchase a replacement run flat tyre for my car. I phoned several tyre businesses in the area but… Read more
none could supply the tyre or help with advice about what I could do. Fortunately I called the Goodyear tyre dealer in Strathalbyn and talked with Garrick who provided the best customer service I’ve ever had. He listened to my problem and then sourced an appropriate replacement tyre and organised a courier service to deliver it 40kms to Goolwa. He also called later in the day to make sure that everything was ok and my car was now functional again. I highly recommend this business for its brilliant caring and professional customer service. Thank you Garrick.
