do a really good job, but the pricing is mainly for labor not the parts for the car needed, so it ends up being quite pricey in the end. but will be happy with end result.

Approximate cost: $100

I took my car here quite awhile ago for service and check up. I've used this Autobarn couple times before. I got a phone call from them saying that a few things needed urgent replacing like belts, window blades, fuel filter. So i got these items and couple other things replaced at same time as service. When i went to pick car up they gave me a report of things done, urgently need doing and other things need doing which came with service. I paid to pick my car up and booked it in to get urgent things fixed/replaced for about a month later.
Couple days later i had a friend offer to do a few things on the list. I got couple things and my friend started to work on my car. When he was working he noticed that one of the items i bought didn't need replacing. So he checked all the items on the list and most of them where in ok condition and didn't need replacing.
So with this info i rang them up to ask about a few of the items. They told me that my friend cant see why they need replacing/fixed. I partly agreed cause my friend was not a qualified machanic. But with the rudeness of the guy on the phone i booked my car in with a company for a complete car check with a full written report. The company said the same thing as my friend. The only thing that was on the list was an oil leak but they didn't know where it was coming from which they wanted to charge me labour fees for them to find it but this other company found it plus a couple other things that they recon the company that did my service should of seen and told me.
So AutoBarn wanted to charge me for things that didn't need doing. I wonder if they would of done the job.
Months later i found out that they employ people that dont know what they are doing like trainees and add things on the list to replace/fix that don't need it.
So if you go here be careful.

Approximate cost: $Alot
