"Ladies especially - could not recommend Paul and his team more highly. The most transparent, helpful, and experienced mechanic I have ever had. Paul went above and beyond to give me a car back that he was 100% confident with and kept me updated the whole time. My car is driving like an absolute dream."
Delaney Brocket
Major repair
"Paul is amazing. He went beyond and above to help me. He drove me back home after I dropped my car off. So kind! I truly appreciate his kindness, honestly and great communication. He explained clearly what's the issue with the engine light was. I wouldn't want to take my car anywhere else."

Engine diagnostics
"10 Star for the service, 10 Star for the nice person I had deal with today, thank you for helping me for inspection the right car and giving the advice I need before I buy. My only problem I live far away from his location 56km but he deserves to come and do mechanic staff in his workshop."
Mark Ayoub
Pre-purchase inspection
"Went here to get an urgent Pink Slip for renewing my registration. Great experience super easy called up was told to bring the car later that day and it was all sorted in 30 mins."
Kroum Klutchkov
Pink slip
"Paul and his team are amazing. They went above and beyond to help diagnose an issue with my car, with very short notice. They are super accommodating, professional, and completely transparent. Will not look anywhere else in future."
Nick Evans
Diagnostics
"I brought our second car here for a rego check and service after they did a great job on our very old, runabout other vehicle. They are very efficient and now my car runs much better than before with their servicing. It is also very close to Brickfield's coffee and I can walk to my office after dropping the car. 10/10 would recommend."

Rego check & service
We've been fixing cars on Reserve Rd for a long time now — the business turned 25 this year. In that time we've learned what actually keeps customers coming back, and it isn't fancy signage. It's telling people the truth: what's wrong, what it costs, and what can safely wait. Most of our work comes from regulars — and from their neighbours, who seem to pass our number around.

Honest to a fault
If it's a simple fix, that's what you pay for. Our reviews say it better than we can.
Every car, same care
Old runabout or European daily, every car gets the same patience and the same straight talk.

If the car passes, the result is lodged electronically with Service NSW straight away, so you can renew your rego immediately. Call (02) 9437 1316 and we'll tell you the next gap.
Yes. BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo and others are regulars at the workshop, alongside Japanese, Korean and Australian makes.

Always. You approve the quote before anything begins, and if we find something unexpected mid-job, we call to explain and re-quote before going further. It's the reason “fair pricing” and “honest mechanic” are the most repeated phrases in our 79 Google reviews.
Often, yes. Reviewers mention short-notice help repeatedly — an overheating engine seen straight away, a same-day pink slip, a diagnostic squeezed in before a trip. Call (02) 9437 1316 as early as you can and we'll tell you honestly what's possible that day.
Yes. Bring the car to 77 Reserve Rd before you buy and we'll check engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, electronics and signs of accident repair, then give you a plain-English verdict — what it needs, what it should cost, and whether the price makes sense.
