About the company

Melbourne Service Centre is a mechanics business founded by Rob Mazar, who started his own workshop in Collingwood in 1999. The business moved to a new workshop in 2023. It services all makes and models of cars.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Mechanical repairs and maintenance form the core of the work described by customers, with logbook servicing, inspections and troubleshooting featuring prominently across the feedback. Rob is named repeatedly as a skilled technician, and Phillip is often mentioned for his help with bookings and pickups. Reviewers consistently highlight the accuracy of diagnosis, noting that problems are identified correctly before any work begins, and that unnecessary repairs are not pushed.

A handful of customers describe the pricing as fair and reasonable, with costs explained upfront and frank conversations about longevity and value. Communication stands out as a recurring theme, with progress updates before and after the job and clear explanations of what was done. The workshop itself is described as well organised, and the team is praised for its friendly, personal approach.

Long-standing clients mention years of servicing across multiple vehicles, including Subarus, a Kia and a HiLux, and one account describes a timing chain repair completed after another workshop had misdiagnosed the fault. A seized boot on a Volvo was also sorted promptly. Attention to detail and the thorough reports provided after each service come up often, and the team's patience with older vehicles is noted, with one owner reporting that a 1999 Subaru still runs beautifully.

The team at Melbourne service centre are great! They recently helped us repair our Kia’s timing chain which was previously taken to another mechanic who overcharged us for an incorrect diagnosis and left us stranded without a repaired car. Rob and his team did a fantastic job, diagnosing the problem correctly, charging a reasonable amount for the works completed and communicated perfectly through the whole process. It’s nice to have a a mechanic you can trust to look after you! Well worth the drive from Bacchus Marsh and will continue to make the drive for any services our car needs Thanks Team!

They have been looking after my old Subaru 99 for years. They are thorough, don't recommend big fixes unless absolutely necessary, and always provide a helpful report after the service. My car runs beautifully still.

The boot of my Volvo XC40 seized up and MSC fitted me in and fixed the problem promptly. Great communication and explanations. Overall, I was delighted with their service that was of a higher quality than I ever got at a dealership. I will be going to MSC for all my future service needs.

Great experience at MSC for a standard service and inspection. They did a comprehensive check of the vehicle and gave me a clear report on its current condition without pushing for unnecessary extras. Friendly staff and the shop was very organized. I’ll definitely be back for my next logbook service. Thanks Rob

Thanks Rob and Phil for my car services, it has been great coming over the past few years. When my car needs any extra repairs or replacements, I am always informed and they explain what is needed and why really well. The booking process is very easy as well, I only need to call and I can get in pretty soon. Pricing is very good and I was given different price options when my tyres needed to be replaced. I recommend Melbourne Service Centre to anyone looking for a friendly and high quality service of their car.
