Shane helped us at the drop of a hat to get our car going safely again so we could enjoy our holiday. He went above and beyond, we are so grateful, the damaged car really could have put a damper on our trip, instead we were impressed with local service.

Shane is one of the nicest guys I’ve meet. He goes above and beyond. It’s such a pleasure to deal with him. My car has never been better.. . Or cleaner! Top work shane I appreciate it!

Brooke Perrin

Shane is a very friendly and honest man. He repaired our car and on top of that gave us some nice eggs from is own chickens.
I would recommend going here if you need your car repaired. Fair prices and good communication.

Shane completed a refit of a power steering hose and two new tyres on my car and I am so impressed with the workmanship and efficiency of his work. Shane took the time to explain what needed fixing, how long it would take, and kept me informed the whole time. The work was completed so quickly and I am really happy with Shane’s work. Thoroughly recommend! Thank you Shane

Tash Jones

Shane was so helpful in fixing my car and held his trip to town up to do so. He tested my battery using his machine to find there was nothing wrong with it and didn’t charge me much for his time at all. Charlie the family dog is super cute also and will occupy you whilst you wait. Super nice Person and fantastic service.

Hi Shane & Robyn, just wanted to do a shout out for your help in getting me back on the road so quickly – during Queens Birthday weekend no less!!! It was great to meet such a fantastic and genuinely nice couple – I will make a point to stop in to say hello when I am up that way next. Thanks again 🙂 David

Shane has done some significant work on our Toyota Liteace van and recently aquired Toyota Prado, as well a useful pre-purchase assessement. You can just ‘feel’ his attention to detail in his work, good humour and helpful nature. A real engineer more than just a mechanic.
