What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Diesel engine repair, brake work and routine servicing form the backbone of the feedback for this Drayton mechanical business, with customers describing diagnosis and repair of a leaking exhaust manifold, power loss accompanied by heavy black smoke, and brake faults identified and resolved. Tim is named repeatedly, praised for fitting vehicles in at short notice, explaining faults clearly and answering questions without pressure. Reviewers frequently highlight straightforward quotes given before work begins, updates provided during the day and pricing described as fair and cost-effective, with no upselling.

The workshop's family-run character comes through in accounts of helpful, honest dealings and a willingness to assist. Turnaround is another recurring point, including two vehicles completed within two days. Faults missed by previous mechanics were reportedly found and corrected, and one customer noted a diesel issue that had been diagnosed accurately. Air conditioning, batteries, bearings and diesel engine work appear among the services described. The consistent thread is knowledgeable, approachable service and repairs finished to a standard that brings customers back for annual servicing and further work.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Bob Best Mechanical enough. From start to finish, the customer service I received was exceptional. I was contacting mechanics all around Toowoomba trying to find the best quote for my car’s 180,000 km service. I was quite hesitant about who to go with because I was receiving completely different prices and different opinions about what should actually be included in the service. That’s when I contacted Bob Best Mechanical, and Ash was the one who responded to my emails. From the very beginning, Ash was incredibly thorough, patient, friendly and genuine. He took the time to answer every question I had and explained everything clearly. I had quite a few questions, and at no point did I feel like I was wasting his time or being difficult. Instead, he made me feel like my questions were completely reasonable and that he genuinely wanted me to understand what I was paying for and why. They also provided me with a very competitive quote, which made the decision to go with them even easier. When I dropped my car off, Bob himself was incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The whole experience was just refreshingly pleasant. You can tell that these guys genuinely care about their customers and take pride in what they do. It’s not often you come across a business that provides such fantastic customer service while also offering such a fair price. I genuinely can’t praise Bob, Ash and the team enough. I’ll absolutely be going back to Bob Best Mechanical for future work, and I’ll be recommending them to my family as well. Between us, we have five cars, and I’ll be recommending that they take all of them here. If you’re in Toowoomba and looking for a mechanic who is honest, friendly, thorough and genuinely cares about their customers, I highly recommend Bob Best Mechanical. Five stars without hesitation!

I can’t recommend Tim and the team highly enough. From the moment I walked in, I felt taken care of. The team is incredibly knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely cares about their customers—not something you find every day in the mechanics world. I brought in my car for brake issues and they diagnosed the issue quickly, explained everything clearly, and got the work done ahead of schedule. No pressure, no upselling—just straightforward, expert service at a fair price. What impressed me most was the attention to detail. They even took the time to show me the old parts and explain what went wrong, which gave me real peace of mind. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, professional, and friendly mechanic who goes the extra mile, look no further than Bob Best Mechanical’s. I won’t be taking my car anywhere else.

Was told after service I didn’t need new back brakes, 2.5 weeks later my cars making grinding noises, took the back wheel off and brake and sore the brake pad completely warn and rubbing metal off the disk! Again I have been taken advantage of mechanics and trusted in them. I WAS told I didn’t need back brakes, my inspection of the back brakes and fixing them has proved I was taken advantage of because if they had of BEEN CHECKED like I was told and fixed I wouldn’t have had to do this myself! I will not go back here. I have replaced the brakes now myself.! Thanks for the extra work and stress! NOT BOBS BEST.
