I would never take my car there again. The first service was quoted at a better rate than other providers, the work was done quickly and I was satisfied with the price, but then the work needed to be redone, which initially wasn't a problem and it was attended to at no extra cost (at this time). The car still suffered from overheating though and over the course of many months the car kept breaking down, the car kept getting taken back to Midas Tingalpa, spent many weeks total off the road (and it never seemed like much of a priority to them despite their inability to fix the vehicle but continued insistence that they could) another service was done, each time more expensive and less relevant to the eventual problem identified. By the time the problem was identified they had charged me many thousands of dollars for services that actually didn't fix the problem and the car finally broke down and was fit for parts (a depreciation in value from $27500 to $1500 in 3 years). For all of the false claims of being able to resolve the problem and 'knowing' the make and model I should never have taken the car, I've never felt as ripped off as having trusted Midas Tingalpa whilst all the while being told one thing and charged another. In the end there was an apology but that didn't bring the vehicle back, on top of the loss in value of the vehicle I paid the many thousands of dollars in superfluous and expensive servicing.

Approximate cost: $8237

I contracted Mick's Bins through a convenient booking service which made the booking with a host of conditions which I was aware of but not able to measure the job to without a 2 tonne scale handy. Mick's Bins matched prices after an initial scare of how much the cost of the job could come to under the original booking conditions and the absolute stand out was the communication, consideration and quality customer service provided at each telephone call with the service's administration. I highly recommend their service.

Approximate cost: $250
