After going to numerous mechanics in my area i was fully satisfied with the persistence and professionalism of garys4cars and his staff from me and my family
I really wish that I'd read these reviews before going to this mechanic. Was recommended by a colleague who said that they were expensive but thorough. My car's service totaled $1500 and is the most that I've ever paid anywhere. The labour costs were exorbitant in my opinion and small things were overlooked such as the replacement of wiper blades. Front brakes were replaced and a new battery put in but the car began to sound rattly after about a week. Also, I like my car returned to me having been given a clean as well. For that money they should definitely have given it a wash.
By the last comment of washing your car sounds like you are a unappreciative and ungrateful to our professionalism and skills we performed on your vehicle.
Unless you want to get completely ripped off when servicing your car DO NOT use this mechanic!
I was charged $565 for labour on a service and addition $428 for parts consisting of oil,oil filter, top up fluids, 1 break light, 4 spark plugs, air cleaner, front pads and break fluid.
I wished i had read these reviews earlier.
garys4cars discussed full log book servicing what was entailed and how much the fees was in writing by quote. Customer signed the job card and agreed for the work to go ahead.
I had a quote for full service from this mechanic at $265. I asked that they quote any other work to me before doing it. No calls, and I turned up to find a my bill was hundreds of dollars higher, with clearly excessive charges for spark plugs and parts. Please for your own good stay away from this place.
Gary's 4 Cars is the best mechanic in Melbourne. Highly recommended. Gary did all the things he said he would at a very reasonable price and even let me stay in his home. Top bloke.
I asked to be advised of cost before any work was done. I even wrote it down on a job card in capital letters and was assured that I would receive a call with a quote. Later, the only call I got was to give me a $250 bill for work that had already been done. I had taken the car in for a top hose to be replaced and was advised prior that it should only cost $90.
