About the company

Total Car Care is a car repair and servicing business in Darlinghurst, Sydney, operating since 2006. It specialises in European and 4WD vehicles. The business is an RTA-authorised inspection station and is licensed to issue Blue Slips (AUVIS). It offers logbook and new car warranty servicing using approved parts and fluids.

Free written quotes are provided before work begins. Advanced diagnostic scanners are used for engines, ABS, airbags, and transmissions. E-safety checks (pink slips) are submitted electronically to the RTA. Services include engine diagnostics and servicing of brakes, suspension, tyres, and air conditioning.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

A leaking roof on a Volkswagen convertible, a Range Rover, a Lexus and a 200 Series Land Cruiser all feature among the vehicles that customers bring to this Darlinghurst workshop, and the accounts stress that problems are diagnosed carefully and fixed properly the first time. More than one review highlights the honesty of the approach, with costings explained upfront and any variation to an initial quote confirmed by phone before extra work proceeds, a point that comes up often.

The friendliness of Brad, Paul, Eddie and Andrew is singled out, and several long-standing clients describe returning over many years and recommending the centre to family, friends and neighbours. Knowledge and advice are also praised, including one account of a roof leak rectified the same day it was booked in for a fraction of the estimates given elsewhere, without the seals being replaced.

The team is described as capable across mechanical and auto electrical work, attentive to problems as they arise and quick to put them right, and as genuinely caring about the people behind the cars rather than treating them as a transaction. Servicing is carried out for private owners across Darlinghurst and the eastern suburbs, who value a mechanic they can trust to act in their interest. Tidiness, punctuality and clear communication before and after each job round out the picture.

Brad and Paul are amazing. As a single female finding trustworthy people to look after your car is a challenge. I have tried many places across the eastern suburbs and nobody comes close to the service ,authenticity, honesty and kindness of these guys.

Brad is super knowledgable and helpful. Recently took my work vans here for new brakes, with both vans in and out in less than a day each. Thanks for your work, much appreciated

Andrew is not only a mechanic, he’s a old school neighbourhood guy who’s not only an expert at his craft, but also a guy that will talk to you not for a fee but for connection and relationship. He understands that a business is made by people for people, and caring for customers and establishing long lost in relationships goes beyond just repairing cars. I wouldn’t go to another mechanic, even if it was cheaper, which it isn’t.

I’ve known Brad, Eddie and the team at TCC from the beginning. They have looked after and serviced all my vehicles, from my VW Polo, through to my 200series Land Cruiser. Well priced and great customer service!!!

Brad at Total Car Care is brilliant! He’s been servicing my Range Rover for years, and I couldn’t be happier with his expertise, honesty, and attention to detail. It’s really hard to find a mechanic you can fully trust, and Brad’s transparency is so appreciated - he never tries to upsell unnecessary work, he just gets what needs to be done, done. The Darlinghurst location is super convenient, making it easy to drop off and pick up my car without any hassle, keeping it local. The service is always efficient, super fairly priced especially in comparison to dealership service prices, and done to the highest standard. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable mechanic in the area, I highly recommend Brad at Total Car Care!
