Professional and courteous, the place may be packed with cars and still manages to fit in your service or whatever you may require. Highly recommended.

Can not reccomend John and his team more highly. John absolutely went out of his way to help me out of a sticky situation. Fixed my car up and set me on my way within an hour. He so so kind and always explains everything so I can understand. Hands down nicest mechanic I've ever met, his prices are always fair and upfront. Recommend him to any Ladies who need their cars looked at and don't wanna be taken for a ride

No question about the expertise from this company, but I just felt once they knew I could fix the problem for much much less money else where got overcharged for diagnosis. Just a note to everyone, if your car needs attention from another mechanic at the same time 1 minute equals 2 minutes or hours. Everything doubles. You dont want three guys working your car at the same time. I personally never heard of such practice at any mechanical or car electrical shop. I will investigate further with consumer rights. All that being said, they did find the problem, just over priced in my opinion.

What a great company. I was a 'walk-in' off the street, but John was able to sort my switch issue the same day to an extremely high standard of workmanship. It's a great job and I'm stoked with the results. Communication was excellent, I was only charged an hour's labour, all round it was an unusually positive experience of a car workshop! Will highly recommend to others and take my car there in future for sure. Thanks again John - top service!

I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. A reliable and honest mechanic is hard to find these days and these guys tick all the boxes. They have always looked after my car in a very professional manner with a friendly and reliable service. And their prices are very reasonable compared to other places. Thanks again guys for everything that you have helped me with. Much appreciated.

The word I would use to best describe Grady's would be: incompetent. I brought my vehicle in with an oil leak and requested a quote of both time and cost. Was told $180 and they can get it done by that afternoon. I ended up getting my vehicle back 8 days later, and ended up costing me over $500 to fix the oil leak!
THEN, less than 24 hrs later, the low oil light comes on. I check the dipstick, dry, and look under the vehicle at the oil sump, soaked in oil. These guys then after all that time and money DIDN'T EVEN FIX THE ISSUE I CAME TO THEM FOR!
Rightfully po-ed, I call the shop and am essentially
