Reviews From Our valued Clients

Jess Scherrer
I called Angus Mitchell Automotive and went and got my car fixed. Now, my VW Golf is running great after I drove it into something. There’s always some nice vintage cars at the back of the workshop when I’ve been in which are worth a look.

Another year around the block and we've had our car serviced here again. Thankyou for looking after our car. These mechanics are good and fair in their work, and pleasant to deal with which is important. Thankyou.
Trevor Burr
If you own a Mercedes or euro car this is the place to take your car. My experience here was their help and knowledge of the Benz was really good. I had major service done and some other things that needed doing to the car urgently. They got the job done and honestly feel like a different car smooth as Great job done by the staff.

These guys always give my car a quality old school mechanical service or when they replace parts it is done exceptionally well and with assurance. They're always helpful, pleasant to deal with and sound things out before hand, which gives me ultimate peace of mind.

Angus and his mechanics have looked after my BMWs for over 9 years and I have always been looked after and well informed on the status of them. This included E36, E30, F30 and my current E93.
