Roy at Ultratune is such a wonderful professional mechanic. He spotted a dodgy job that another…read moremechanic had done on my car, called me to tell me about and showed me the proof of the issue. He had the respect to give me detailed information about repair issues. I think the price was fair. Ultratune was also able to give me a quote on repairs when I detailed what I wanted done. I wish I would have read a review about ultra tune and gone here first.

The tow truck driver suggested these guys. I'm always a little worried the first time you use a mechanic for fear of being ripped off. It didn't happen here though. My car broke down on Friday night. I gave them a call on Monday & explained what happened. The owner was great on the phone. He explained that they would be able to have a look at it later in the day & then called me letting me know what the problem was & the cost. I called my mechanic who said the price was spot on. The car got fixed & I picked it up the next day. I highly recommend them & if I lived in the area they would be my first choice mechanic. Great service. THANKS!

(Which was half of the list & they weren't cheap repairs) Very happy with the cost & how quickly my car was ready. Nick even called me the next night to see everything was ok. Wouldn't go anywhere else & I've told everyone I've seen since! Thankyou!!

My car was sent to Winfield Automotive for repairs by the insurance company. From my first contact…read morewith Chris, Rob and Matt right thru to the end some 6 weeks later, there attention to the customer was first class. Emails were returned promptly & phone calls returned on time. The work done on the car came out like it was off the showroom floor. The paint job is superb, and even though all panels were not painted, you would never know as it all matches so well. All accessories on the landcruiser, which were many, look great and an all round great job. Would not hesitate to recommend them for any car repairs.

The quality of the repairs performed here on my 12 month old car after it was hit whilst parked…read morewere appalling. My car was returned with unfixed major structural damage making it unroadworthy. The general workmanship on the non-structural elements such as paint matching and panel alignment were also substandard. I could see the structural damage with my naked eye so I assume they thought I was stupid enough for them to lie to me that the car was fixed - I found it dishonest and offensive. The car ended up being written off by the insurance company because to rectify their shoddy repairs was not viable. I lost a rare badged vehicle which, if repaired properly first up, would still be on the road.

Absolutely appalling experience…read more We brought our van in simply to see whether it could be sold in Victoria, as the vehicle is registered in NSW. After charging us around $300 for a roadworthy inspection, we were then told the van would never pass in Victoria because the rear seats had been removed and it had a partial campervan conversion. What makes this so frustrating is that this was blatantly obvious the second the side door was opened. Any honest mechanic with basic decency would have said upfront, "This won't pass in Victoria due to the modifications," before taking our money and continuing with the inspection. Instead, they happily went ahead with the check knowing full well it would fail on that basis alone. When questioned, the receptionist claimed they "didn't know until they looked at it," which is ridiculous considering the modifications are immediately visible. To make it worse, some of the other issues they picked up on had already passed inspection in NSW anyway, so naturally we would have just taken the van back there to sell if they had been upfront from the beginning. The whole thing felt incredibly greedy and dishonest. It came across as a cash grab rather than genuine customer service. Would not recommend.

Mark will give you honestly from the word go, providing an accurate quote, extensive information and will even show you what they have done and the new parts / repair work they have carried out.

I trusted the owner (Peter) words, when he said your Car will be like new after fixing. I paid $1400 on the phone and ready to go after driving for 15 min car stop in the mid of the road had to tow the car back to Hawthorn Automotive Improvements, where I kept my car afterward he did a small compression test and suggest me engine needs to be reconditioned will cost $4700 on top of $1400. I asked for $200 discount he denied saying don't want to cut the corners. I told him to not to start repair until deal with Warranty company. But later on find out another repairer can fix the whole new engine in just $2700. I went back to take my car back then he charged me $280 again for the coolant and changing filters and engine oil for which he already charged me with in $1400 bill at first instance. When I asked for clarification for extra charges he became very abusive and physically assault me. Finally I called police and relive my car after paying illegitimate charges of $280. Friends be careful before you go there because at the first time staff will sound like very friendly but thy will cut your pocket in a way you won't believe. Even if you think to go their better check prices with other Mechanics. The Most Dodgy people I have ever seen in my life. Finally my car is in perfect running condition and I paid $2000 less to other repairer. Disgusting Customer service, no cooperation at all, God knows what he actually do and what he charge fortune for. If you still wanna go Good Luck with that. Me and three of my other friends (who were regular customers of H.A.I and faced issues after servicing) will never ever turn back.

The boys called me to report the items that needed changing. I approved the repairs and my car was ready the same day. Transmission was also serviced because they detected some faults on the MB star equipment they use. Tranny shifted much better after service. Parts replaced were on the bench when I picked up the car. Smart, sharp French guy who has good knowledge of the Benz. I was surprised on how confident he was about his work and my car did feel much smoother after service. I will take my car to them from now on.. Being a girl it's not easy to trust a mechanic, I must admit I was happy to see the old filters and parts before paying my bill..

I took my 04 Falcon wagon in for a couple of minor electrical jobs & a replacement mirror. The minor electrics he & staff did on the spot, almost for cost. When he repllaced the electric wing mirror I dropped my car off in the morning with no notice (which meant he had to source the part). It was ready by the afternoon and within $10 of cheapest comparison quote. My little brother put his 2000 Corolla in for a major service and what turned out to be a replacement alternator - $700 for the lot incl 2 new tires, alternator and new battery. Ready within 2 days. There's a few young mechanics on staff but Mark seems to be the hands on manager. In both my brother and my case he called to advise of cost and seek permission for the work.I drive past this garage all the time and often lights on and hoists up late at night. Always lots of cars, early and late model, on site.
