Scott has been very helpful to us; the moment we got our car to him, he processed everything fast and swiftly, starting with the estimated cost, the communication, and the service delivered. Although I am new in Australia, I trust Scott to deliver one of the best car services in Canberra. Thanks.

A few things weren’t done which wasn’t put on job card. They picked up my car next day free of charge to fix the problems free of charge but then we had another problem occur due to their error.
They fixed this same day free of charge and did a couple of other things for mucking me around although I had to go without my car for another day.
