"Got my Roadworthy done here Chris was very friendly and informative Haven't taken my car here for any mechanical works so I can't comment on that yet. But so far it was a smooth good experience"

"DODGY. The company should not be doing roadworthy certificates. I purchased a 2nd hand car which had a roadworthy signed off by this service. The roadworthy is not right and there is a fault which obscures vision in the car. I gracefully took the matter up with him and he denied there was a fault. The fault is undeniably visible. I then took the car to three other services whom all agreed this should not be roadworthy and could clearly see the fault. I stayed calm and polite however he cut me off and walked away."

"Be prepared to be fleeced or blatantly ripped off... He tried to quote me $2800, when we asked for our car back he wouldn’t put the wheels on until we paid him $728 for 4.5 hours work! To clarify that’s no repairs done at all. Aggressive and a liar. Went to a legitimate professional mechanic who was aware of his reputation. He arranged for the work to be done for just $275. Yep! 10 times less. Please read all the google reviews before going here as he is a registered LVT. We have contacted ASIC, RACV and VicRoads not that they regulate rouges like this-only consumer affairs can step in at this stage. The reviews say it all. No respect for women, bayside locals or their industry."

"Avoid this place!!! I took my car there over the past year for a few issues. The first visit I was shocked to receive a $1900 bill! But Fair enough he must of fixed the problem, but no I had the car for a week and it had the same issue that it had before so I went back and was charged an extra $1000. So all in total $2900!!! Afterwards my car still wasn’t fixed!! It had the same issues as before! So I went back and he told me he doesn’t know what’s wrong and wouldn’t give me a refund after I’ve spent $2900 on a car that was never fixed!!! Told me to just keep driving cause when’s it broken it’s easy to fix... Which is so unprofessional. So I kept driving and sure enough my car was still was not working. Took it to a different mechanic and they had my car for 1 day and fully fixed it for $700, It’s been 4 months now and no issues at all! I’m so upset that this man took all my money and did not fix anything!!!! Even my mechanic said he didn’t fix anything!!!! AVOID I just don’t want other people having to go through what I did. Spend you hard earned money somewhere else."

"After asking to fix my VE Commodore air con (re-gas), faulty alternator and squeaky brakes, these highly unsavoury rip-off merchants quoted me about $2000 (for all three items). So I told them only to fix the brakes (expecting say $4-500 max) but got charged $900!! - just for rear brake pads and rear disc machining! They charged an extra $4-500 ‘diagnostics’ at $95/hr to tell me what I already told them... my air con and alternator doesn’t work! Yes I know, I told you that! Oh and they gave me a quote for an extra $2000 worth of unrelated works! On my billable time! Don’t set foot here, and stay well clear! - if you value your hard earned money, and don’t appreciate getting taken for a ride... extremely pissed-off, will never return and will be forwarding this supposed mechanics details to consumer affairs!"
