Steve went above and beyond to assist me after a break down, he sourced the part and replaced my alternator on the side of the road and had my LandCruiser working including recharging the battery all within just over 3 hours of my initial call, amazing. This kind of service is hard to find these days. Thank you.

I own a busy driving school and Steve has been our official Mechanic for all our cars. I wouldn't trust anyone else with our fleet. He's very thorough, always asks before fixing big ticket fixes, pre-warns you when somethings about to "give up" and he is very prompt, flexible and reliable. We know that our cars are in safe hands with him. Thank you for all you do for us Steve.

I picked Steve because he seemed legit, a lot of the reviews on here all magically appear around the same time and say essentially the same thing. I recently purchased a cheap Holden Combo and needed some one I could trust to have a look and tell me what it needed and if it was worth keeping on the road. I told him I didn't want to spend too much and would prefer just a quick service and to run diagnostics on some warning lights that were on. He was happy to help and came out the same day. He called half way through to see if it was ok to install $30 worth of spark plugs to potentially fix one
