Customer Story
I’ve just had both my vehicles serviced at ACDC across a 6 month period. I took the first car to ACDC after taking it to a dealer service TWICE after my engine light came on (and stayed on after servicing) only to have the dealer continue to tell me there was nothing wrong with the car.
When I took it ACDC they knew what the problem was straight away and fixed it (and it has stayed fixed 6 months later). I went back to the dealer and spoke to them and they acknowledged ACDC was right, noting the cursory servicing they do (apparently I should have paid more at the dealer if I wanted a full diagnostic). I took the second car in after how impressed I was with the service they provided the first time. The second car was fine, no tricks. These guy may not be the cheapest, but you get your value for money – much more so than a dealer linked service that is churning through the cars.
They are run by a very sweet and genuine father son team who live cars, truely know there stuff and are genuinely passionate about their work and the vehicles they’re servicing. The big difference between this and a dealer service is when you show up you speak to the head mechanic, they follow up on any challenges that may come up and they are flexible to your needs (including contact out of hours, and timing servicing around some impending travel). I tested them by listening to their advice (including on what I’d hear when I went to one of the chain mechanics) and then comparing it. They were spot on every time (and saved me some money in some instances). They are also seem to be genuinely nice guys. This is one of the few positive personal style old school mechanics I have come across and I feel lucky to have found them. Couldn’t recommend enough. Thanks Don and Pete.

I have had my vehicles serviced by Peter and Don since 2003. They have always provided excellent mechanical service. Their knowledge is up to date and they provide a level of customer care particularly for women which is exemplary. I would always highly recommend them and have done so to female friends.
