Best Mechanics in New South Wales Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong

Very knowledgeable, friendly and pricing was competitive. Steven and the staff did a great job replacing my two front tyres.

Pro Auto Repair came to our house and fixed the wheel scuffs in the driveway. Technician Deshan did an excellent w, now I can look at the alloy without wincing! Also they are Tesla specialists so the car was safely jacked up.

Absolutely 10/10 experience with State Roads, cannot recommend them highly enough. A real person answers the phone each and every time you call, the… Read more

timeline is quick, the costs are reasonable, and the resulting inspection report was beyond thorough. I have to particularly commend Trevor, who did most excellent work. I am extremely impressed with this company and will not only use them again but recommend them to everyone who asks.

excellent communication regarding appointment, arrival time. Friendly technician. excellent result on my damaged mirror. Highly recommended.

Beware of these scammers. Had a young punk [Name Removed] in van 18 test drive my ford territory and blew my gearbox in it costing me $4000. I got… Read more

charged nearly $500 just for oil change. Rang their office to complain and they said nothing they can do. Well, 9 months on and im starting legal proceedings on Trent. I have recently found information on [Name Removed]. DO NOT USE LUBE MOBILE

Get an independent mechanic to conduct your pre-purchase inspection, one who has pride in their business and offers proper customer service. Redbook… Read more

is such a large company; they do the bare minimum and don’t care.

While I understand that a five-year-old car will naturally have general wear and tear, such as minor scratches etc., there were several significant defects missing from the report. The inspection missed a large chip in the windscreen, located directly in the driver’s field of view, a very loud, constant rattle at high speed, four significant dents, a broken air vent, a broken console, and a damaged badge.

I contacted Redbook with my feedback and they pretty much said tough cookies, denied the chip in the windscreen and said they couldn’t see any dents because it was raining. They referred me to the “photographic evidence of the vehicle’s condition”, however the images they send are low resolution so it’s not possible to see details. THAT is why you pay for an inspection! I could have asked the dealer to send me pictures.

I’ve had a pre-purchase inspection from an independent mechanic before, and they recorded every detail and defect. I would have thought Redbook would do the same purely for due diligence. As an interstate buyer, I relied on Redbook’s inspection to decide whether to travel from Melbourne to Sydney to view the car in person (which I did). What a waste of my time and money.

Prompt service with clear updates .Thank you to the technician who was professional and informative

My name is Paul Smith and I recently had Instant Windscreens and Tinting, Belmont branch, remove the old tinting, and apply new tinting on my car.… Read more

WHAT A MISTAKE. After picking up my car, I was stunned to see a mess left everywhere, and damage - see photos. There was old tint everywhere. There were stains on my car's interior from the steaming removal of old tint. There were bubbles on every single one of my 7 windows tinted. The manager Shane said they will go away soon. They did not. He then told me that the air bubbles were flecks of paint on the outside of my windows. My rear demister had also been damaged and no longer worked. It had been working prior to the tint removal. Shane later told me that the tint installer who did my job had only ever done one other car tint in Australia. Instant Windscreens asserts on their website that their technicians are very experienced and professional. And that every job is quality checked before customer pickup. I demanded a refund and restitution for damage, but not successful. I have had to instruct a lawyer to take out a claim in the Magistrates Court. This review in its entirety has been completed by Paul Smith, using my joint email address shared with my wife.

Chun Pree was an expert and very friendly in his work on our tyres. Highly recommended. Maureen

Dan was immediately available and replaced our broken window within hours of confirming our order. I was super impressed with the service we received.

I highly recommend touch up guy operator Dave Deakin for the repairs on our Silver Mitsubishi eclipse cross. The damage was to the front bumper,… Read more

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.

Honest , straight up, don’t make up stuff you need to replace, unless you genuinely need to, for safety check ( pink slips)

Andrew was extremely professional in his approach to me and the pre purchase inspection. He was extremely helpful with a lot of professional advice… Read more

and very easy to deal with. The service he provided was very comprehensive as to the report. I would unreservedly recommend him for the service he provides.

Great headlight restoration service. My headlights look so much better now. Quick and easy service. The guy who did it was so nice and arrived on time.

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU My young son took his car to Auto Masters Canning Vale on 04-02-2026 expecting honest advice and fair pricing. Instead,… Read more

he walked away with a bill of over $2,400.

Yes, a battery was included in the work, but the price charged for it — along with the overall invoice — was, in our view, completely unreasonable. As a young driver with limited mechanical knowledge, he trusted the advice he was given. Unfortunately, that trust was not respected.

What made the situation even more concerning was that he was also told the car needed new tyres, even though those tyres had only travelled about 10,000 km. Our previous set of the same tyres lasted roughly 40,000 km, so that recommendation immediately raised serious questions.

After reading through many other reviews, it is hard not to notice similar concerns being raised repeatedly — high bills, unexpected recommendations, and customers leaving feeling they were pushed into work they did not truly understand or expect. Several reviews from women and younger customers describe very similar experiences, which is troubling.

Before the standard response appears saying “we can’t find the booking”, “this isn’t an authentic review”, or “there was a video explaining the work”, let me be clear:

• This was a real visit to Auto Masters Canning Vale • The date was 04-02-2026 • The invoice total was over $2,400 • One of the recommendations was for new tyres at only 10,000 km

The issue isn’t that work was done — the issue is pricing, transparency, and trust. When a young person takes their car in, they should receive honest guidance, not leave feeling like they have been talked into excessive costs.

I strongly suggest anyone — particularly young drivers, women, and families — get a second opinion before approving major work here.

In our view, this was not service — it was opportunistic selling dressed up as advice.

This experience left us feeling that a young customer was seen as an easy sale rather than someone who deserved honest advice.

Car went in at 7.50 am, they needed it on sight to recalibrate the sensors. First ready at 3, then 3.45. Went to pick it up and not done at 4.… Read more

Reason, windscreen was done in the morning, one person “tried” recalibrating the windscreen in the morning, couldn’t do it. So it then sat there for 5-6 hours because they couldn’t be bothered getting back to it. Finally got in it. They didn’t put my $1200 dash cam back on, went back in. They came and put it on. Now it doesn’t work at all. Complaint straight through to insurance company who sent me to them. Will never let Novas touch my car ever again. The individual who “tried” to celebrate it got foul for being called out on bad excuses. They also took it for a 6 minute drive while i was standing there waiting. 6 minutes at $3.89.9 a litre. Not impressed. No regard for client time or loss of wages because they have to have it “all day” because of the 10 minute calibration. What a joke of a place.

I thought I would add a review for Merrylands & Holroyd Smash Repairs as all the others are years old. I had my vehicle repaired last week by this… Read more

company and can only agree with the other older reviews, mine was a private job (not through insurance) to repair damage to the back door of my suv which didn't look much but hidden beneath the panels a bit more damage had been sustained. I can only say the repairs where done immaculately, color match was really good and overall repair was really excellent and timely completed. Yes the premises compared to other shops probably doesn't look as good, but the repairs are very well done. If you are looking for a repair job in the Merrylands area I can only recommend them to do a good job.

Had my car serviced and the experience was excellent.Kemmy went out his way to assist, keeping me informed while I was waiting. I really appreciate the friendly and professional service.

I wouldn’t take my car to Motor Serve for any mechanical repairs the manager and receptionist there are liars and thieves. I had a problem with a… Read more

cracked diaphragm for the fuel pump and without inspecting it they quoted $,7400-00. Also told me they couldn’t find the part even though I supplied it and was on the passenger’s seat, and they kept the car for 4 weeks always lying to me about the car being too old, parts were hard to find.

Great service and on time – The guys at battery rush are the best service and price. They saved me on the side of the road with a new battery couldn’t he happier.

Very happy with my ceramic tinting on my MG. Jason did a great job. He was friendly and very informative. I shopped around and this was the cheapest. It was done in a couple of hours at Charmhaven. Highly recommend Tint Ur Ride. Thanks Jason

I sent off a request for a qte which was given within 24hrs, it was cost effective having 3 wheels repaired at home. Did an outstanding job. Very happy

Chris at Goodyear Autocare in Maroochydore was a big help to me with my boot. Quick and easy. Very serviceminded and helpful.

My car looks like a brand new car. It was repaired in the record time. The staff went over and beyond their duty of care. Highly recommended.

feedback. I was buying a car from interstate, and they saved me from purchasing a complete lemon that had multiple issues the seller never mentioned.

Their thorough inspection and clear communication gave me total peace of mind. Highly recommend their service to anyone looking to buy a used car.

paint brush to touch it up looks worse than the scratches I should have bought a small touch up bottle and did it my self certainly would have been cheaper than the $1500 dollars Scarborough Toyota charged me for this platinum plan and promised me it was the best thing since sliced bread and showed me a picture of his wife’s car where she scraped on the mailbox I had a shopping trolley scratch the back door but they tell me they can’t fix it and it needs to be resprayed it’s a waste of money the workmanship is poor quality.
