Leichhardt Car Mechanic - Kismet Mechanical

I initially chose Kismet Mechanical because of their 4.8 star rating and many positive reviews. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. I was told the diagnosis would take one day, but my car was kept for two days. I paid $257 for a diagnostic inspection to identify the cause of a squealing noise. After two days, I was given a repair estimate of $2,000–$3,000. When I asked for a detailed explanation of the fault, the receipt only stated that the rocker cover needs replacing. I was not given a clear breakdown of the labour, additional parts, or why the total estimate was so high. I wasn’t expecting a cheap repair, but I did expect a professional diagnosis, a detailed explanation, and a transparent quotation that justified the cost especially after paying for the diagnostic inspection. I left feeling that the diagnosis lacked detail and that the quote was not transparent enough for me to make an informed decision. Unfortunately, my experience did not match the reputation that led me to choose this workshop.

Sanjay and the team did a great job with my car. By far the nicest customer service I’ve had with a mechanic in Sydney. The fact that they were open on the weekend was so helpful as I had broken down on a Saturday and needed to get my car off the road. Will definitely be going back for my next service

Highly recommend! He checked over my car and was honest, thorough, and took the time to explain everything to me. It’s hard to find a mechanic you can trust, but I felt really comfortable knowing my car was in good hands. Great service, friendly, and professional. I’ll definitely be back in the future. Thanks again!

I went to Kismet to get my car in order after moving back from the NT and the service was 10/10. Sanjay was an awesome help, super transparent and reasonable with his pricing. Can't thank him and the boys enough for such a seamless experience. Will definitely be back!!

Excellent yearly service experience. The team was professional, efficient, and communicated clearly throughout the process. My car was serviced on time and is performing great. I appreciated the honest advice and friendly customer service. Highly recommended. Overall, it was a hassle-free experience, and I would gladly recommend this service centre to others.

The team at Kismet were amazing! I took my car in to get a pink slip and it was done in 1/2hr while I waited in their waiting room. The car was then driven out of the driveway for me, making it quick and easy for me to get to my next destination. The team was professional and polite- I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Sanjay

Excellent service from start to finish. The team was professional, honest, and explained everything clearly. My car was fixed quickly and runs perfectly now. Fair pricing and great customer service — highly recommend Leichhardt Car Mechanic - Kismet Mechanical to anyone needing a reliable mechanic!
