Back in November 1999, Nigel Hook, the director of the company called "Autohaus Northshore Pty Ltd" purchased and took over the car workshop known as "Hornsby Eastside Automotives" (previously owned and run by Glenn Gribble, who was a one-man band). Hornsby Eastside Automotives looked after just 1 of our vehicles--a 1990 Falcon XF Panel Van.
Soon after taking over, Nigel changed the name of the business to "Autohaus Northshore", as it is known today. Nigel made claims that he could service almost any vehicle. He seemed pretty sure of himself, so I thought I'd test him out. I told him that I had a 1982 Porsche 911 SC, a 1994 BMW 540i and a 1997 BMW 323i. Within 9 months he was competently looking after all the cars---A one stop shop, convenient to home instead of travelling all over Sydney!
In November 2007 we purchased an Audi RS4 (high performance vehicle) and found that Nigel had no problem looking after it.
Today, Autohaus Northshore is our family "car doctor" servicing and maintaining our 8 vehicles - the latest being a 2013 BMW M135i. Nigel and his team have been incredibly reliable over our 14 year relationship.
I've found Nigel to be invaluable to the maintenance and upkeep of my cars. He has been more thorough than any dealer, and capable of solving problems the dealers were unable to address because they simply didn't have the expertise, particularly in older models. For example, Nigel rectified and made the air conditioning in the Porsche 911 SC functional.
I would (and do) highly recommend Autohaus Northshore for your daily drive or exotic vehicle.
