What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Geelong West Automotive has built a loyal following among drivers of European vehicles, with servicing and repairs for Peugeot, Volvo, Citroen, Renault and Skoda models featuring prominently in customer accounts. Mark is the name that recurs most often, described as knowledgeable, patient and unfailingly polite, and several reviewers note that his team shares the same professional and informative manner.

Regular maintenance sits alongside larger work such as water leak repairs, warranty issues and urgent mechanical checks, with customers appreciating that extra repairs are discussed and quoted before any work begins. An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the willingness to fit in jobs at short notice when other workshops cannot, one owner recalling a major leak being dropped off the same day and returned within a week.

Reviewers also value that unnecessary work is not pushed and that upcoming service needs are flagged in advance. Quality of the finished result and clear communication throughout the job are mentioned repeatedly, as is fair pricing for both routine servicing and unexpected repairs. Satisfied clients describe returning for years, with Volvo and Ford owners among those who keep coming back, and Mark's deep car knowledge is singled out as a reason for that loyalty.

I recently took my car here for the first time and had a fantastic experience. I brought my car in without speaking to the team beforehand and they were incredibly accommodating from the moment I arrived. Mark and the team were friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. They carried out a very thorough inspection and provided detailed, itemised quotes outlining all of the issues with my car. Having everything explained so clearly has really put my mind at ease, as I now understand what needs to be done and can work through the repairs over time. It's refreshing to find a mechanic that's honest, professional and genuinely focused on providing outstanding customer service. A special shout-out to Branson—thank you for all your help. I know my car is in good hands going forward. I highly recommend this team and will definitely be returning for future servicing.

I’m very pleased to be given this opportunity to share my thoughts on GWA as a place to have one’s Car serviced and looked after! I’m rather fussy about my car, a delightful 2011 model Peugeot 308 hatch, which my wife and I have owned since its purchase as a demo with just a few thousand km on the clock. Mark and the team at GWA are very skilled in their craft and I am very happy with their work. I have been a client of theirs for a few years now and I am very pleased and grateful that they are in town!!😉
