Always price l get quoted and explained in a way l understand. Would not take car anywhere else Jackie is great reliable fair prices
Absolutely rapt with the care that was provided with the Car Service. All questions respectfully answered. Absolutely rapt with Jac’s Team and will be returning again 😊
This mechanic goes above & beyond as far as getting you back on the road, while maintaining fair and reasonable pricing. Best mechanic in the Ballarat area.
Jac, Barry and the team are fantastic 😊 Clear, honest and considerate communication and I've never felt judged or taken advantage for not knowing a thing about cars, which has definitely happened elsewhere! Thank you for being a wonderful human Jac ❤️
I genuinely couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Jac and her team. No bs, just taking the time to thoroughly explain things to me whilst genuinely listening to my concerns and taking them onboard. More importantly, knowledge and facts to back up all of the information she presented as opposed to the usual patronising mansplaining you typically get when you go to a mechanic. Thanks to her, I avoided being ripped off the almost $1,000 that I was quoted elsewhere. I highly recommend Full Throttle to anyone, but especially other women who have had bad experiences with mechanics in the past.
Couldn’t recommend Jac & her team enough!!! Jac deserves more than 5 stars!!! Jac understood my situation and worked with me, keeping me informed at every step. She understood I had a budget and worked with me on that. I am very appreciative and grateful for everything the team have done. Need your car fixed? Go to Full throttle for the best results! I won’t hesitate to return in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Took our SS to Jac for a new water pump and she found 2 other issues which they also fixed. Was originally quoted $610 just for the water pump, but with the 2 new issues put it up to $1034, but discounted that to a straight $900. The work they did was phenomenal. Great and honest staff, excellent work ethics and have no problems recommending them.
