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. Michael and his team found that it was just a faulty seal and it ended up costing me next to nothing to fix! great work guys!
