What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Auto electrical repairs and battery supply form the core of the work at this Phillip workshop, where reviewers consistently describe a business that handles light bar fitting, electrical fault finding and battery replacement alongside a stock range that extends to unusual sizes and chargers. The diagnosis and repair of vehicle electrical problems is singled out by several customers as quick and professional, with faults resolved on the spot. Richard is named repeatedly for his knowledge and direct manner, Steve for friendliness and for exceeding expectations, and Owen for offering guidance when a car broke down far from home.

One thing mentioned again and again is clear communication before and after the job, with updates provided and time made for customers even during busy periods. Charges are described as fair and the approach as transparent, with customers noting they felt respected rather than taken advantage of. Reviewers also mention that rental vehicles and older cars were dealt with promptly, and that advice was given freely when a fault turned out to be unrelated to the battery. The willingness to help without pressure stands out across the feedback.

My 84yr old mother booked her car in to have a brake light switch replaced as they advised it wasn’t a fuse issue. My poor mother was charged $41 - $40 for Labor and $1 for a fuse because they made an assessment error and the brake light switch was not the issue, the fuse was. 30 seconds to install a fuse for $40 after she had to book it in and return the next day. This crew is incompetent and un Australian in my opinion. I wouldn’t have paid due to their poor assessment plus their lack of skills/knowledge.$41 for a $1 fuse and 30 second install. How dare you.

The staff at Lee & Thomas are amazing. They diagnosed and fixed the issue with my car quickly, they communicated very well and went out of their way to help. On top of all of that, their fee was very reasonable when I was in a bit of a pickle and they really could have charged like a wounded bull if they felt like it.

I have been using this business for 25 years now and always had great service. Now I had some issues with the electrical system on my car and popped into Lee and Thomas for an assessment. i was met with smiley happy staff who were not only willing to help, they explained what they were doing and why. I thought I was up for $$$$ but Mark fixed the problem for a lot less than i thought and fixed it while I was there. His staff were courteous and efficient and the whole experience was very satisfactory. Highly recommended.
