What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Honesty and transparent charging are the qualities that surface most often in accounts of this Cairns workshop, where Kevin and his crew are repeatedly credited with putting customers first. Reviewers describe being billed only for work actually completed, and several mention that quotes were explained clearly before any job started. Communication before and after repairs is another recurring theme, with customers noting they were kept informed and shown the condition of parts such as filters when collecting their vehicles.

A travelling couple whose clutch failed were taken in, diagnosed, and back on the road within a day, while another visitor arrived without a booking for a Subaru Forester and had it repaired the same day. Long-standing clients refer to routine servicing of a Hilux and other vehicles, brake and mechanical work, and staff who remember them across many years. The welcome at the front counter is described as consistently warm, and customers speak of being reassured rather than left anxious. Those who sought a second opinion on a Nissan Pathfinder found the assessment reliable after an earlier inspection had raised doubts, pointing to careful diagnosis rather than unnecessary replacement of parts.

Just talked to them on the phone. Lovely guy, I told him I needed my repair done asap and he referred some other mechanics, since he is busy at the moment. The 3 minutes I talked to him really gave me the impression he wants to help and not just make money off you. Thanks!

I called to get a quote for servicing my make and model car and was immediately told “about $450” without being asked a single question. I then asked if that was for a 180,000 km service, and the man on the phone responded quite rudely, saying I should have mentioned that upfront. Honestly, shouldn’t you be asking what kilometre service it is before giving a price? He then asked for my rego and entered it into the system—something that should have been done from the start—before telling me it was actually a major service and that I “should have told him.” At no point did he ask basic questions like the current kilometres, and his tone the entire time was arrogant and dismissive. I was genuinely shocked at how I was spoken to. I ended up hanging up after telling him how unacceptable his attitude was. Based on this experience, I wouldn’t recommend going there. Feel free to call and judge for yourself.

We brought our Subaru Forester in on Monday morning without a booking, right in the middle of our road trip. Kevin was extremely kind and helpful he looked after us straight away and had the car fixed that very same day. It honestly saved our trip. Now I understand why their office is full of trophies and awards for Customer Service. Couldn’t recommend them more!

Travelling from Geelong (Victoria) to Cape York and back we had a clutch issue coming into Cairns. Where we were staying for 4 nights, recommended Midas Cairns! We contacted Kevin and from there, our concerns were eliminated. Kevin and the team took our vehicle, diagnosed the failure, ordered parts and completed the repair in 24 hours. Kevin and the team gave us fast quality service with a smile. If you have a issue in or around Cairns.........see this team at Midas. Thank you Kevin & Staff.
