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.

within 3 working days. A big shout out to Tony and Zac who were most obliging, professional and friendly.

I needed a windscreen replaced on my prado. I contacted 4 windscreen replacement specalists. One quote was resonable but then they wanted to charge… Read more

for extra work. The next did not return my call. The next a major outfit initially quoted double what i eventually payed and then reduced the price, The final quote was from INSTANT WINDSCREENS in albury. the price quoted was very good and they were very professional. the car was ready when they said it would be and there was not any further charges. I highly recomend this company.

I was refused , I went through with the job because I knew I wouldn’t get my money back , was literally handed my rear windscreen wiper/motor so now my car has a missing component and a useless function…..very Unaustralian and unprofessional, would definitely not recommend using this company Call O’briens

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.

cocaine. All his smash repairs were fire bombed by outlaw Bikie gangs last year, including his Portsea house. Has been stabbed and had drive by shootings from bikers as well.

He steals your car by posting dodgy adds on Google when he needs work, so when you google your insurance company you end up calling his shop instead, they play along taking your claim then send themselves out to steal your car making you hand it to them with no idea what they doing.

7 news just had Australian actor Christe Browne on asking for help as they stole her car with this advertising scam.

By the time you find out your Insurance company don't have your car it it's too late. He will not return your car, and continues on scamming the Insurance company over charging on repairs and hire car. If there is a problem and he doesn't get paid he keeps your car until you pay the bill which could be tens of thousands, if you don't pay he sells it off for parts.

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.

With claims of providing "expert servicing by our highly trained BYD (beyond your dreams) technicians" offering a "high standard of service and… Read more

care", I mistakenly thought my local Mycar would be a good choice to replace my car tyres, so recently booked in and paid in advance because they had to order new tyres in. Everything seemed fine until I noticed the "highly trained technician" had jacked up my car using the front and rear suspension control arm bushes as jacking points, rather than using Mercedes Benz factory designated jacking points located on the reinforced rocker panels at the sills. Control arm rubber bushes are not designed to take the full weight of vehicles and is a known weak point on MBs because they're fluid filled and prone to splitting and leaking even with normal use, let alone loading them up with the full vertical weight of a 1500kg car. To make things worse, later inspection showed the removeable plastic swing arm cover beneath the rear control arm was damaged as a result of using it as a jacking point. When I spoke to the technician about my concerns he said the workshop lift used to fit tyres is not designed for sill jacking points and vehicles fitted with tyres at Mycar Toormina were always lifted this way. However, a simple online search shows mechanical engineers and Mercedes experts alike overwhelmingly warn against using control arms as jacking points because they are easily damaged, as they are mostly aluminium arms on modern cars with rubber bushes and the force of the full load of the vehicle could easily compress the rubber bushes, deform the arm and suspension components, affect steering and cause premature wear. The technician later admitted the workshop does have the correct two post lift suitable for vehicles with sill jacking points like mine.....so go figure! So the upshot is - what I thought would be a straightforward, risk and hassle free experience from a company of "experts" who "care", has ended up being one of frustration and anxiety as to whether more damage has been done to my car in addition to what is apparent so far. This experience has certainly been "beyond my dreams", but for all the wrong reasons. My advice to others would be to avoid this "caring" company of "experts" altogether.

Hi guys, I’m Nicola, and I recently had my 2017 Toyota HiAce serviced by a mechanic. I was quoted around $400 for the service, so for that price I… Read more

was expecting a very thorough and professional service.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my experience. I noticed that the mechanic was smoking while working on my vehicle, and from my experience, I didn’t feel that the van was properly checked as part of the service.

I was also charged $250 for changing the brake fluid. I later found out that the brake fluid itself costs only around $20, so I was very surprised by the amount I was charged for this part of the job.

I’m not complaining about paying for a mechanic’s time or expertise — I understand that labour and business costs need to be paid. My concern is that, considering the price I paid for the service, I expected much more attention to detail and a more professional approach.

I’m sharing my experience so other people can make their own decision before using this mechanic. I recommend asking exactly what is included in the service and how much each additional job or fluid will cost before agreeing to it.

Great customer service and was booked in really quickly. Alan was amazing and explained everything. The repair was fixed really quickly and is flawless. Highly recommend and would use again without question. Thanks Alan!

Aaron came out to to my home install a front and rear dashcam in my new car. He did an absolutely fantastic job! He was on time, professional, and… Read more

friendly. He also took the time to patiently explain how the dashcams work and helped me connect it to my phone. The price is a bonus too - very affordable for the service and convenience. I’ll definitely be recommending Schmicko to my friends and family.

oil, oil filter and engine flush. The only thing he really did was diagnose a water leak and give me a huge list of problems. No phone call to fix anything just a bad attitude and a whopping bill. Not a likeable or customer service guy at all. Will never go back there. Do not recommend.

honest assessment. Fortunately for me everything was in good order and I am right for another 10k kms. Maybe as a result of continued servicing with Automasters... Thanks Automasters for a great job.

Absolutely stand out service from my first enquiry to the finished install, highly recommend, thanks

Great communication & service. Awesome staff. Would well recommend this company. From the process of starting my claim till the finish of installation of my windscreen ,it was just seamless. Many Thanks. Steve Klink

from the Finance Manager (Adrian Boston) which he took care of our budgeted budgets. I had an awsome experience also with the sales person (Hardeep Thind) which he really took the best care for us.

dealt with only 6 months ago! Must say that women having work done on their cars can find we get treated a little condescendingly at times, but not here. I was dealt with respectfully and shared a joke or two while the job was being done. Very happy camper...or will be soon thanks to Five Star!

car today, the service has been quite remarkable. The team at Repairhub, Gregory Hills, were service-oriented and professional, and the repair work on my car was faultless. It had also been washed and vacuumed! Plus, thanks to my insurer, I had an Uber both ways.

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

We called Tint A Car Sunshine Coast to claim on a warranty as some of the windows in our home had started to delaminate. We have a lifetime warranty… Read more

on the tint, whilst we still live in the home. It has been 10 years and we have been very careful not to use products on our windows that could damage the tint. The windows have panels and it was the bottom panels that were the problem. When I first called to chat to somebody about our warranty, they informed me that I would need to find the original receipt before they could move forward, but I wasn't sure if I could find it so I told them that I would contact head office as surely they would have us on their data base if offering a lifetime warranty on their product? The woman [Name Removed] that I spoke to was quick to come back to me to say that they had found my details and she would organise to send somebody out to have a look and replace the tint on the bottom panels if the installer thought there was an issue. I asked "what happens if he replaces the tint on the bottom panels of the windows but then the top panels look completely different" and she assured me that he would have enough tint on him and would be able to sort that out whilst here if there was a difference. Now she is having trouble recalling that conversation, but I would think it would be a question most people with common sense would ask. There is always a chance products won't match so I was curious about how we would resolve any issues like this.

Fast forward to after having him here this week and after replacing bottom panels, the top panels look different. The top panels are milky/cloudy, the bottom nice and clear and the installer told us that there definitely is a difference and they should be re-tinted to match. He told us on the day that he didn't have enough tint on him and he needs authority from manager/head office before he is able to change the top panels. Let's keep in mind these are our main windows in an open living area, so they are somewhere you can notice the difference in the tint. My husband spoke to his manager and she said they would need to discuss what was going to happen and they would get back to us. The installer stood there and said that there was definitely a big difference, but we did not hear back from them after he left. I contacted them today and was told, that conversation didn't happen and it wasn't part of their warranty as there is no delaminating or creases and are still good for their age even though they're completely different to the other half of the window. I messaged back to say that I would contact head office and chat to them about having the issue resolved, but you can't contact head office and speak to anybody!!! They are uncontactable even on the number supplied.

To say I am disappointed in the whole experience in an understatement and I will follow up with an email, but I am not liking my chances of getting a response. I would not recommend Tint A Car Sunshine Coast at all. The original job done was great, but since then their customer service and warranty claims has become an issue. I don't appreciate being told one thing and then not to have it followed up. Customers should not be treated in this way especially when you're buying from a company you think you can trust. The reviews I have read on several pages are mixed, but many complaining about warranty claims and not being able to contact head office or nobody replying to messages and being ghosted. I will also be writing a review on the company's page so hopefully we get some resolve. I would advise to make sure you get everything in writing wither by text or email and only speak on phone if completely necessary.

Excellent friendly service. Great price, will definitely be back, highly recommend this business.
