Excellent service again

I find the staff and service at Dickson Automotive exceptional with Clive, John and Paddy a delight to deal with. Always courteous and helpful, explaining exactly what the problem is or what is needed and expected cost etc.
Having had numerous unsatisfactory experiences with mechanics over the years it is so good to be able to totally trust and believe what you are being told and my car is running like a dream as a positive consequence of their excellent service.
Highly recommend.

Above excellent

I recently had my car repaired by Dickson Automotive after facing significant issues with a timing belt replacement done by another service. The team at Dickson Automotive did a fabulous job fixing the problems.They took detailed photos and videos of the work explaining every step and issue clearly. Their professionalism and understanding were evident throughout the process.My car is now running as it was before and I couldn’t be happier with the results.They also encouraged me to follow up with the original organisation, which thanks to the evidence provided by Dickson Automotive, finally agreed to reimburse me for the rectification costs.
I highly recommend Dickson Automotive to anyone in need of car repairs or service.Their honest expertise and dedication to their customers are truly exceptional.

Very satisfied customer - friendly and professional team.

Took my car for the first time for a service. Very satisfied with the service from Clive and his team. The gave a detailed explanation of the service, what needed to be done and quote prior to proceeding. Will definitely take my car to Dickson for further services.

I've been taking my car to Dickson automotive for well over 10 years. They are friendly, courteous and always keep me advised of any required works, plus explained everything simply and clearly. My car is 22 years old, and it's never given me any trouble which I put down to the servicing. Even when I moved away from the area, I kept going there as I trusted the work they were doing and a good mechanic is hard to find! I highly recommend this business.

There is no better operator of this service in my neck of the woods very possibly all in all of Oz. Been my trusted mechanic for always and had never let me down on all areas...service, class and communication. If you are in the Caulfield/Glenhuntly, Carnegie, Ormond, Malvern etc area, I suggest you don't go anywhere else.

John was super helpful. They were fully booked but still kept the car to try check it out. They had a no show and fitted my car in - established the problem, communicated the detail and quote. Went ahead and did a great job. Thank you to John and the team.

My car was breaking but I managed to get it to Dickson automotive, they were booked and had no space but still offered to check over my car. The guys in there are incredibly helpful and more knowledgeable than any mechanic I have been to before. They treated me with respect and explained the trouble with my car in a way I could fully understand. I couldn't recommend these guys enough, they were so helpful and I will be holding any further mechanics I see in the future to their standards. Thankyou so much your help again!

Fast and reliable! Very friendly and honest when it came to letting me know what needed to be done to my car. My Dad is a mechanic in another state and said that what I was charged for was very generous, not getting ripped off is always a plus :)

As a young woman, their honesty, patience and willingness to answer any question I had, ensured that I will be returning.
Thanks Dicksons :)

The BEST mechanics I have ever used!
I have a M Benz C250 Coupe (Sport). They diagnosed an unusual, but potentially very damaging problem, repaired it, and were extremely fair in the cost (I estimate approx. one third a MB dealer would charge). Their customer service is exceptional; when I couldn't travel they drove the car back to my home to show me the problem before proceeding! I use them to service my two cars, and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

The Team at Dickson Automotive have always consistently gone above and beyond the ‘call of duty’ for me.
Clive, John and the rest of the team are always very friendly, respectful and extraordinarily skilled at their profession.
I have always found them to be creative and relentless in their pursuit of the best solution, even when I have presented them with an unusual problem.
I own two aging vehicles, which means that maintaining them is not always such a straightforward task, but they consistently develop the wisest strategy and also advise me of what my best choices might be for any potential issues, which may lie ahead.
I am delighted and grateful to have found such an exceptional team of mechanics who take pride in their work and give me confidence every time I turn the key in the ignition.

Highly recommend. Took my car in for a service & they called me before doing anything to my car with costs associated. I am often worried about being taken advantage of being someone who doesn't know much about cars but they were very transparent and honest and really well priced.
