I was very impressed with the prompt responses over several days for various repairs and RWC. I was recommended to come here and I will happily recommend. Pricing was fair and it felt like there was a genuine team working here. Thank you, really appreciated your help.

Did a proper job of troubleshooting and servicing my AC system. These guys are trustworthy and quick! Another shop wanted to replace half my AC system I stead of reseating an electrical connecter and gassing the system like these guys.

Absolutely amazing service. I ended up here on no notice with my dash not working and battery light on! After a quick check they found the alternator was overcharging and burning out my electrics (or something like that)
They had me back on the road in an hour with new alternator and battery! So much quicker than I was expecting. Not the first time these guys have gone over and above to help out. Highly recommended.

I have used About Auto many times over the past 2-3 years both on my small car and my 4wd. They have always worked so swiftly and professionally. Rob and the boys are so knowledgable and helpful. Robyn in the office is always so welcoming. Their pricing is great. They have also gone above & beyond when I have needed something done on a deadline. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Amazing efficient well priced mechanical work - first time in my 50 years of driving I haven't felt ripped off. Could not recommend highly enough - great deal on a full service and new set of tyres. Thank you About Auto for restoring my faith in mechanics.
