Really helpful fellas.Can't speak highly enough of these fellas. Came here for a warranty claim, and they were beyond helpful and assisting with my other enquiries and requirements. Cannot praise enough! read more
Poor service, barely did anything to my car, didn't even clean it, and blatantly tried to rip me off. Best to avoid sending your car here.

**WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY OF FAMILY AFTER CAR SERVICE**…read more Car was serviced 6/5/2025 and charged $645 (including pink slip). They day after start-stop system error displayed as in pictures below. Returned to garage 09/5/2025 and told error due to 4 failing spark plugs (unlikely) and charged $830. (coincidentally needing replacement the day after a full service) 07/07/2025 oil Pressure (below picture) error appeared, I could not believe oil pressure could be low as just had serviced at Bondi Junction auto repairs (receipt including oil change below). when driving back from driving kids swimming lessons, car started making strange noises (FELT UNSAFE DRIVING CAR) and engine warning light came on, luckily pulled by on side of road next to autospares store. Checked oil dipstick and it was BONE dry, no oil to be felt on dipstick. Whilst kids crying in back of car we filled 2.5L of motor oil into the engine in half a litre lots. When we returned to express concerns the manager today we spoke to offered no apology or concern for what had happened after they had serviced the car. The manager spoken to today stated "you don't have proof" in a smug way. He offered to look at the car again but after a service costing $645 + $830 (return after service), I suggested they may not be the best business to be able to service or work out what was wrong with the car and I would take it to a known mechanic. (at cost to me) This business works in the automotive industry but does not even understand the basics of automotive safety and do not bat an eyelid if an issue they likely caused may results in engine failure. Asking for proof when things go wrong after a service is despicable, the onus I would have thought would be on the business to explain all the "coincidences", if they cant do that I must admit I've been taken for a ride (and not the fun kind!) Bring your car here for service or repairs AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
SCAM SHOP! Should have listened to the reviews. Walked away feeling ripped off even after a price…read morereduction when I confronted them about work that was carried out without my knowledge. First off a basic service was $400 which seems a bit rich and they didn't explain what was done as part of that just presented me with the paperwork (0 customer service....). A reoccurring theme throughout the reviews I read were buffing headlights and degreasing the engine and surprise surprise I was hit with both to pass my blue slip. I think they must get confronted quite often as 3 of them behind the desk when on the offense as soon as I mentioned the bad reviews.... I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but really wish I hadn't. Won't be returning to this "business" and I'd suggest you avoid them too.

Instead of…read morechecking the car or offering help, the mechanic laughed at me, spoke down to me, and dismissed my concerns without even opening the bonnet. He made it sound like the problem was catastrophic and then told me to 'get it out' and park down the road, saying maybe he'd look at it in a few days, all while laughing. Also repeated "you cooked it". I left feeling embarrassed and disrespected. I then drove one minute away to another mechanic who inspected the car immediately and diagnosed the issue in under 10 seconds it was simply a broken belt. No customer deserves to be mocked or treated like a nuisance when they're worried about their vehicle. Extremely unprofessional. I would not recommend this business for anyone looking for an honest and respectful service.

I was desperate, looking for a workshop around the area for my rego. I have used these guys in the…read morepast once to wash my car, they are ok but not great, there's not much attention to detail, they are expensive, your better off at a self serve. Anyways I took in my 2013 Audi for a rego check and was told the car had to be left in for a couple of hours, which was weird considering it usually takes less than an hour. When I was called back I was presented with a list of repairs totalling about $5k and I would not be able to renew my rego unless fixed. They said it will never be approved anywhere. I found this odd considering my car is low mileage, very well maintained with a great history of receipts and log books from Audi only. I decided to go to this place due to convenience as it was nearby but I made a mistake. I was shocked, so I took the car back and went back to Audi, my car turned out to be great and I had to just replace a faulty globe for $25, which these guys didn't even pick out. I got my rego done now and have learnt my lesson to stick to my dealership where the service is not only reliable and genuine but fast and much more cost affective. I made the mistake thinking I could cut cost, I was also advised that these kind of hustling was common and should be reported. I dealt with Michael at the workshop, and would be careful, he seems polite at first but mostly misleading. There is another larger guy there who is very rude and would try everything to discredit you. I was told it is common to come across hustlers like this in affluent areas of Sydney especially and it is common to be taken advantage of, its worst if your a female or don't look local. I would highly not recommend anyone to go here. You will not have peace of mind, and this whole experience just shows me how untrustworthy and how inexperienced these guys are. They are a car wash not a workshop, above all they will rip you off. I wouldn't believe the whole Japanese car wash hype on the website or even the reviews on google. It almost seems like the reviews are fraudulent or even fake. I scrolled down to the negative reviews and it seems like we all had the same experience. I don't want to come off negative. I usually leave reviews like this when I have truly been cheated or left with a bad taste. It's not good to hustle and take advantage of people. Especially when safety is involved. Please don't make the mistake I made. They can come back with a response to this review if they like. I am happy to challenge them as I have physical evidence, and I am considering reporting my experience to fair trade and the relevant bodies. Stay safe guys.

After getting it towed to Michael I waited for a quote with bated breath and fear.

I rang around a few places, and the people I spoke to just didn't know that much, said that i would need to bring it in etc.... Speaking to these guys they knew the problem, and suggested a reasonably priced solution. When I took it in they took care of it, and did a great job, and told me what to watch out for to prevent it happening again. They are in an old school garage near lane cove national park, and its not too bad as you can walk up to Chatswood while its being serviced. I would highly recommend these guys as they are specialists, and care about the work that they do.
The Suba, bless its auto soul, went for 385,000 km with one engine, one gearbox and one mechanic…read more Bruce knew that car well. It needed more than just Brakes and it didn't have a Clutch. Anyway, it just kept going - way past the point at which Bruce told me that every time I filled it with fuel I had overcapitalised it. Keeno first stopped driving it, then refused to be seen in it. If a client saw it the rule was to deny any knowledge of it. Didn't seem to matter that it was always parked in one one of the firm's marked spots. At the end nearly everything was broken, mostly by me, but Binga helped from time to time - he took care of the radio. The upholstery on the roof came away so that all that was holding it up was the interior light. It was like driving around in an Arabian tent. The suspension collapsed. "Fully lowered!" said Binga, impressed. Chatswood Brake and Clutch always took it in - I never got told "we're all booked up till next Tuesday". Bruce just said "Bring her in". He would find cheaper parts, but if it was important he would explain why they had to be genuine. He showed me what needed to be done and if it was too much we would prioritise it. I never once thought he was ripping me off. I hate to think what would have happened if I had taken it to a dealer, assuming they would let it on the premises. My guess is the business plan, vision, mission statement, values pledge and parts and labour guarantee would have been nice to read but the bill wouldn't. I could usually get a loaner for the day from Bruce - try that at a "Dealer Authorised Service Centre". Chatswood Brake & Clutch work on more prestigious cars than the Suba (like Keeno's) but I reckon they had a soft spot for it. Bruce understood it didn't need too much spent on it - that it had a pretty good self fixer that only failed at the very end - when then steering gave way ...and I sold it for $500. Highly recommended mechanic - and not just for brakes and clutches.
