I was driving around looking for an auto electrician went to all the industrial estate come across Electrics and mechanical walked in had problems in my headlights and the lady at the front counter. Amazing like she liked very accommodating very helpful. Put my car in there straight away. Wait in the waiting room and then gave me a quote of $209 for a photo of diagnostic and the check in blah blah blah wait for about 45 minutes come and said yeah cars done. Charge me 188 just because I fixed everything up that I needed with the headlights spotty but everything going again and it was awesome yeah I met this guy in the chat in the room. Had a good chat yeah it was awesome thank you. I’ll be back again very soon.
I had an electrical problem with my van right before our trip away. The team were able to fit us in quickly and the issue was resolved within a few hours. Highly recommend.
I paid around $700 for diagnostics regarding an airbag warning light. They identified a CAN communication issue but were unable to confirm the exact faulty component. I was then advised that multiple modules (BCM, Gateway, IPDM) may need to be replaced, with an estimated cost between $5,000 and $9,000. While I appreciate the time spent on diagnostics, I felt that the root cause was not clearly identified before recommending such a major repair. I would recommend getting a second opinion before proceeding with expensive repairs.
GCCEM went above and beyond when we had a problem with our RedArc system connected to our caravan. Josh and the admin team stayed behind normal closing time, so we could safely park our car & van ready for inspection the next day. The inspection and testing report was very comprehensive and everyone that we dealt with were knowledgable and professional. We would not hesitate to recommend their excellent attention to detail, to anyone seeking Electrical and Mechanical services.
Whilst travelling from Nsw to Gold Coast our air con decided to go on holiday. We were pointed in the direction of Gold Coast mechanical and electrical. Whilst it was also raining it was becoming dangerous to drive. The team managed to get us back on the with a temporary fix, they order a part for the car and within 3 days had it fixed. 10/10 for this company. I will always use them in the future
hello robert everingham here, i was very happy with the service at gccem, extremely professional and very helpful, the location and easy access was a major factor in my decision to have them install my interlock and repair a fault i didn't know about great team and service thanks robert
I wasn't aware of the change of location (from Industrial Ave. It was a nightmare to find new location. I think better directions on confirmation SMS or email would have been helpful. What a challenge to reverse vehicle out at pick up. Busy and narrow driveway to so say the least. Waiting area was ordinary. A lounge with T/C facilities would a good addition to your business if feasible. The service team were professional. No issue with staff at all. Happy with price and booking.
