What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Prompt and practical help is what customers return for at this Brisbane car repair and servicing business. Several reviewers describe being fitted in at short notice for urgent problems, from a flat tyre and blown brake lights to a work ute that had broken down and a car battery that needed replacing. Several accounts note fair, competitive pricing, with one noting that a second opinion saved a substantial amount compared with an earlier quote, and another reporting that sourcing parts quickly for an air conditioning compressor and turbo replacement worked out cheaper than expected.

The convenience of mobile attendance stands out: a mechanic named John came to a customer's home within a couple of hours of the call, removing the need for a tow or a wait at a workshop. Silver is singled out for honesty, clear explanations of what needed repairing and friendly, professional service, while other feedback highlights rapid turnaround on mechanical repairs, servicing and auto electrical work such as a faulty window and a headlight. Tidiness is not remarked upon, but care for vehicles and communication throughout the job are recurring themes, as is the willingness to explain repairs rather than simply hand over a figure.

I recently had my car battery replaced by local mobile mechanics, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The service was fast, professional, and reasonably priced—exactly what I was looking for. The mechanic(John) came to my home just a couple of hours after I called, saving me from the hassle of towing my car or waiting at a shop. The convenience of having the mechanic come to me was a game-changer, and the entire job was done in about 30 minutes. I also found the pricing very fair compared to other options. The quote was upfront, there were no surprises, and it was much more budget-friendly than what I’d been quoted elsewhere. Overall, the whole process was quick, easy, and affordable. If you need a reliable and reasonably priced battery replacement, I highly recommend trying local mobile mechanics!

Very crude customer service. Looks like he had personal issues and venting out on customer. He was very rude in talking to us. Reply in owner response around 1:36 PM Brisbane Time I am happy to revise rating as I know how much rating means for any Business. 1. He was very rude on explaining policies. You are blaming customer of tress passing, when the person left the counter unattended he should have closed the door so that no one can enter the shop. The only intention to find out if anyone is working so that we can get attention. 2. There were more than 100 paper stick every where. You cannot expect customer to read all 100 papers to find and read only one notice. The person over there made it a crime as we could not find out and read one notice. 3. The notice on the door was in fact bent and not readable at all, in fact, the person over there in my presence just lifted it up to make it more straight. 4. We were about to become your customer but just because of one person's rude behavior and aggressive talk, we walked away. 5. He was so interested in arguing with us that he followed us out and started recording our footage without our permission. 6. He in fact, blamed us of stealing items and more over threatened us of legal consequences. 7. We offered him to check our car, offered him to check our wallet, offered him to call police but he was insistent on blaming us and blaming us for not finding one paper out of 100 papers and not reading it. Let me tell you the exact statement he used. Helllooo, you are not allowed to enter workshop, it is trespassing, does it make sense to you? This was with very aggressive tone. Welcoming response should have been, hello, how can I help you? Also, request you to not to enter the workshop as this could affect your safety, without using aggressive tone. I would have then come up with the solution of closing the door or putting a contact number on the door. The fact was the person over there wanted to give benefit of doubt to himself but not to us and started recording our footage WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION. If you are different owner and not the person working there, give your contact number / email address along with your name then we could have constructive discussion and revise the rating. Also, I strongly want the person to delete my face from his phone otherwise I would be forced to take next steps. Thanks for your understanding.

Called this team at short notice as my beak lights had blown. Even though they were busy they squeezed me in and repaired my issue. Great service and didn't charge the earth. Well done!

I really appreciate everything the guys do for my car. First it was a nail in my tyre,. the 2nd issue was a electrical problem with the window. And thirdly was a blown light headlight. The cost was cheap and efficient.. I have sat at their auto shop and the guys are so fast and on top of it all. Excellent work.

Really happy with the fellas at Brisbane Auto Shop. Took in the Ute with a few dramas and had the air con compressor and turbo replaced. Each done on separate occasions and had no delay in getting in with parts sourced quickly. Compared with the quotes I had at another mechanic and dealership, actually saved a few thousand. Any other work and servicing I’ll be back for sure.

They serviced my air con. Good service and value for money. They gave a quote for regular service too. I have typically gone to dealer service centres in the past, but these guys will very likely will see me back when it is due.

Inexpensive yet professional car service from Silver, his brother, and another worker. Not only gave me information that would be beneficial down the road in the future, but also fixed up a minor issue pragmatically instead of charging for something that could be fixed in seconds. Good work, guys.
