Marrickville Automotive Services (MAS)

I took my car in a few months ago to get a service check up - walked out with a bill of $900 +. I'm okay for paying with what's needed but the give away sign that these guys were over-priced and trying to get as much as they could was when they told me I need to replace my windscreen wipers to pass a road safety check although the windscreen wipers were absolutely fine. That being said the staff were really friendly to me - just well over-priced and trying to get everything they can You can find somewhere better

The team at MAS was excellent. I had to register my car in NSW having moved from QLD the team provided me with all the necessary information to get the car registered in NSW not only this they personally came and collected the car and provided us with a vehicle to use to come back to the garage to collect my car. Sylvia is just wonderful a very caring and understanding person who is a great representative for this company. Thank you all for your assistance.

Don't bother coming here if you're a female. They will assume you know absolutely nothing about cars and try to rob you a couple hundred dollars for unnecessary repairs. Its 2017 guys...Women aren't that naive and a second opinion can make your ridiculously inflated quote look as stupid as you assumed I was.

Dodgy mechanics! beware! These guys installed a turbo + intercooler into my diesel landcruiser, paid about $4500 total. Years later I return for a different problem, and Alex identifies that the installation of the turbo was done in an "unsafe manner" with the wiring not insulated and running along side the battery. He said it could cause a short circuit and start a fire. I tell him it was HIS mechanics that installed the thing!!! (yes without knowing he was bagging out his own workmanship). He confirms by checking his system and then telling me that he will fix it for me, free of charge. He had my car for FOUR WEEKS trying to fix intermittent engine starting problems. His team could not fix it. Excuses after excuses. Broken promises after broken promises. Alex says he will phone back and never does. Finally after a month I request the car back and Alex tries to tell me "if only I had more time". What a joke! And I said well did you manage to repair the incorrect installation of the turbo you said you would do? No, he said he would have to book it in another time. Before I left I wanted to look at the engine so I went to pop the bonnet. It didn't work. The mechanics had accidentally wired the fuel cap and the bonnet lever the wrong way. Imagine if I had to jump start my car, or had to put out a fire in the engine compartment in the future. It wouldn't have bloody opened! Luckily I checked it. I DO NOT trust these mechanics!! These guys prioritise the food wholesalers like Bidvest who have a fleet of trucks that need repairs and maintenance. They show ZERO respect for the little guys like me who just want some minor work done. Another time I had my car booked in for a service a week in advance. They said yes no problem. I took it in, they said they would call me later that day. When I phoned at about 4pm they said they had been 'busy'all day and have only just gotten around to look at it. They had it sitting on site for eight hours doing nothing! And I thought that it was getting worked on and I would have my car back the same day.... How wrong I was.... Seriously stay clear of these guy, they are no good. And Alex, you know this is all true so don't act like I'm being mean here, I'm just telling the TRUTH!
