I've used them twice, and I can't believe I went back for seconds. I had my 1997 Mitsubishi Magna service at my home in Caroline Springs- for the usual reason, I had a small toddler and rubbish public transport in the area, so convenience was a big factor. The car was worth around $8,000 at the time, and had around 250,000kms on the clock. The first service they found a variety of things wrong, and the job cost nearly $2,000! I chalked it up to an incomplete service history and reluctantly found the money. The second time I used them, the cost was almost $2500!! I certainly didn't have the money, and was told I'd be taking a big risk by not having the work done. I should have said no and gotten a second opinion- but in the end agreed to pay, and they gave us a payment plan/finance option. You know things are pretty bad when you have to take out a payment plan to pay for your car service!! On my dad's advice, I made them keep the parts they had claimed needed replacing so we could check them out. My dad, a 30-year qualified mechanic (who unfortunately lives 300kms away) confirmed the parts were still a way off needing to be replaced- so the costly repairs were not as urgent as the mechanic had claimed, especially given that I was due to sell the car! Be warned- they might come to you, but at the end of the day, what does it matter if you are "conveniently" ripped off?

Approximate cost: $2500

Fresh food, great chips, great burgers, chiko roll cooked just right.... we eat here all the time and keep coming back for more. Pity they're closed on Mondays though!

Approximate cost: $10
