I've been to Misch's three times with two cars. The positive: They generally fit me iin on short notice. The work they have done has been competent. Their labour TIME has generally been reasonable. They've generally completed work within the timeframe promised. The negative: They charge a premium labour rate at $120/hr. They struggle if you give them more than one thing to look at, maybe they book too tight, not sure why. They cover your car in stickers even if you ask them not to. They charge nearly exactly double for parts compared to Autobarn and Repco. I called them at 5:05pm and their phone is diverted to answering machine (I just left there). I left a message andathey didn't callcme back. I don't think they're totally honest and straight-up. I get the impression that they talk everyone they can into changing belts and pulleys and other parts nearby to their actual malfunction whether they're really worn or not. Just tried to sell me another serpentine belt to replace one they replaced last time they had the car (there is nothing wrong with it) and when confronted said "it's making a lot of noise (it wasn't) and that it might just be doesn't spilt on it (it wasn't). 2 minutes later I drive the car out and the belt was silent (funny that). Over the phone they upsold me to change the belt tensioner and idler pulley. They didn't change the tensioner but invoiced me for 2 idler pulleys (the car only has 1). They quoted me $295 originally then upsold 2x $30 pulleys while they where there then charged me $425 total. Maybe they thought I couldn't do the maths. On a previous occasion I spent $500 replacing power steering parts yet the steering is still broken and they tell me it's the rack, but didn't suggest that was the issue before spending a lot money. Instead of pressure testing or otherwise diagnosing the root cause they'd prefer to change parts that may not be worn until the problem is resolved... At my expense. Not cool, there must be proper ways to diagnose that doesn't involve replacing every part at random. Other industries wouldn't stand for that yet we accept it from an auto mechanic at $120/hour? Summary: Their mechanical work itself is OK. If they stopped replacing parts that aren't really worn and charged a slightly lower rate I'd certainly recommend them. As they are, I think I'm replacing things that don't need to be, for to higher cost, especially when other things really do need fixing. I feel like they are chasing the easy repairs that offer the highest profit rather than guiding customers to replace and repair the things that really matter and I think that is part of why people complain about them not fixing everything they asked them to.

1. Rang and asked could i bring my car in to get a quote to fix 5 issues. They said yes and booked it in. I took it in and rang back the next day to see if it had been done. They said yes. When I got there they had not done a quote, instead had done a safety inspection and were charging me $180. I explained and they would not listen, told me if I didn't pay I couldn't take my car. He literally had my handwritten list asking for a quote but would not budge. I paid but said I would be in contact with Mish. When I spoke to Mish he said there was a communication problem and he was sorry. He could only offered me a credit. I took the credit unhappily, as I was going to buy a car in the near future and said when I found one I would bring it in for the safety inspection. 2. Found a car and booked in for safety inspection. They did the inspection and identified a couple of things. Within the first week of buying the car I blew a tyre. I was told by the person who took the tyre off car that tyre was 14yrs old. Turns out 3 tyres were over 14 years old. Tyres should be used for 7-10 years maximum I have been informed since. At the same time my car wouldn't start when checking it I was told the battery was faulty, another thing they missed. When I went to have the tyres replaced I was told the tyres I have on the car were not rated high enough for the car and I would need a higher load rating. Tyres and battery cost me $1200 and because it wasn't written on my inspection I can't even claim it from the dealership. Add to the fact they put our lives in danger. Will never use again, a complete waste of $1380. Atrocious service. Going back to my old mechanic. Just because you see so many cars with their stickers and so many good reviews means nothing. Hopeless service.

  • Fj Simpkin

I have been to a couple mechanics with disappointing results mostly due to customer service in general. I’ve seen the Misch’s mechanical stickers everywhere so thought I would give them a go when my transmission needed servicing and it was time for my log book service. I felt the quote given from the start was fair for the work that had to be done, a member of staff took time to explain about what they were going to do and about how long it would take. They had a loan car which meant I didn’t need to take time off work and they were even accomodating to a last minute request for tyres. There was a slight issue with picking my car up the same day but they called let me know there was an issue and checked to make sure it wouldn’t inconvenience me. Over all I’m happy with Misch’s mechanical I was able to get everything fixed that needed to be done from the one place within a decent time frame. They will definitely be taking care of my car from now on and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for decent all round mechanics

  • Johnny D vcvaliant

Finally a great service for a great price. We found the whole experience with Misch's Mechanical extremely satisfying. I was Offered a free Loan Car. Both Misch and Scott where extriemly helpfull and friendly. They didn't use jargon to confuse us, just explain and told us exactly what work needed to be done and got the go ahead from us before they carried and any repairs. They used computer print outs rather than a mechanics report, which explained everything really clearly and in detail. We were also delighted at the good value to have work undertaken on our car, the speed at which it was completed and the overall great customer service that we received. We're now completely satisfied and that our car is running as well as it. Thank you again to the team at Misch's Mechanical.

  • Amrit Gill

Don't do it. I'm surprised they are open. First time I gave a list of things wrong with my car I purchased the day before from Katy's used cars next door. They only changed one thing. Then another TWO times I went back in to AGAIN fix the problems I listed on that first day. Finally they fixed some things on the third time. But they fixed them only enough for me to go past the warranty period given by the used car service next door. Even the sensor that was installed on the first time was faulty and used. Never again. Have had to get the entire car fixed myself now and has set me back close to $2000. Don't go there.

  • Cassan Evans

They 'fixed' the problem I had which they did a shocking job went in and showed them and they said it needs to be replaced again because it's not on there tight enough and mind I say is under warranty and because 'I wasn't happy with it' (which I'm sure any right mind wouldn't drive around with a side mirror shaking like mad even with just the car moving at normal speed so could you imagine what it was doing at high speed) 3 weeks later I had to go in myself to find out if they had the part which they gave some bs, so up ya I could and will do I better job myself I'm surprise they even have business coming in.

  • Caroline

I'd like to only give 2.5stars. Great guys and gave me my invoice with a list of what needs to be done with prices which is great. But I paid for a service and rhw invoicr said they topped up all oils / fluids and yet they didn't. They charge such an extreme rate I find. Spent a lot of money for the car to still run the same. I also find that they book in too many cars so rush the job. I understand they are popular and convenient so get a lot of customers but I suggest lowering the amount of cars in the day so you can focus when doing the job

  • Kylepounder-gaming

Another great example of con artists used to be a backyard mechanic before getting a shop. And another great example of SA being the conartist state. Anyway took my car here for a major service only to find out printed on paper as minor service I even told Adam for a major service. The cost of Labor is a rip off 800 AUD for a service which they didn't even do correctly and other things which should of been 400 - 500 max. Save yourself money and time and go elsewhere not these scammers.

  • Mark Nichols

I was a contractor working across the road from their premises when my ute battery went flat. I walked across the road and asked if I could borrow some jumper leads.The bloke behind the counter said he would get one the mechanics over with a jump pack straight away.Even though there was nothing in it for them the mechanic was only too happy to help and not put out one bit.He wouldn't even accept $20.00 I offered as a tip..Great Guys.

  • CORINNE SHIKHULE

I had my car serviced with Misch's Mechanics and I was very pleased with them and I highly recommend them....they made things easy with offering free loan car, but most of all they checked my car properly and notified me of all the problems as well as giving me a proper invoice with all the description of workmanship and detailed advice. Being from out of town I feel I have found a place I can trust to take my car to.

  • Joanne Cameron-Smith

Amazing service! I was apprehensive, having recently been burned by a company that couldn't complete a repair. Scott at Misch's Mechanical made it look simple and got it done right the first time. My car is almost like new so is happy to wear a Misch's sticker for a while I will be back for future services and repairs and am more than happy to recommend Misch's Mechanical to everyone.

  • Jeremy Savage

Got heavy duty t/bar charged $1100, looked at website from the supplier $560. Bit expensive for installation and no plug near the towball it was wire from spare tyre compartment outside under the back door of wagon . Put there sticker on my rear window and under bonnet infront of radiator, did not ask if they could do it. When taking off the one under the bonnet it peeled off some paint.

  • Peter Gurren

The issue: - my service was booked 3 weeks in advance - I dropped my car off at 7:30am (open time) - I arrived at 2:30pm and my car was not ready and had to wait 2 hours Unfortunate that my car was their lowest priority for the day and reveals an inefficiency in this business. Although I received a fairly priced service, I will try elsewhere before returning.

  • Sandy Boyd

I'd purchased a second hand nudge bar - even though it was a Toyota original for my vehicle complete with the factory fittings, other workshops refused to look at the job. The team at Misch's not only said they could do it, they fitted it promptly and for a reasonable cost. Happy with the service they provided. My vehicle looks great!

  • Dianne Kohler

My partner has just had a new radiator and hoses installed in our car and he is very happy with the results. Very helpful and friendly mechanics. The price was good and we will continue to use Misch’s when we need something done. By the way, this is the first time we have used Mish’s and are very happy. …

  • Kayleigh Maynard

Extremely happy with the service i was provided by Scott to make sure my family car was running well and safe. The attentiveness, workmanship and time taken to ensure my car was in good order was second to none and i will definitely be a returning customer to Misch's Mechanical. Can't recommend highly enough!

  • Telene Foweraker

Been having my car serviced here for a couple of years now. Just leave it with then for the day and they will call you with any extras that your car needs with the price. I arrived a little early and the car wasn't ready, they had a loan car on the spot, I just ducked straight back a little later.

  • Cheyenne Louise

I came here to get an oil leak fixed, three times they said they fixed it but here I am, nearly eight months later with the same oil leak. Went somewhere else and they knew exactly what the issue was right away. Don't go here unless you like wasting your time and money.

  • Connor Mcaskill

While I was in the presents of there business I was deeply disappointed in my cars performance after they serviced it. Do not recommend going the price is not worth when there going to lead to future problems due to them using the wrong oil and cheap parts …

  • Natalie

Had my dog trailer repairs done there, left out in the rain until I picked it up - full of water and all the contents were covered in mould - clearly didn’t matter as it didn’t have an engine or perform like a fancy street machine ‍♀️ …

  • KR Mcaskill

Absolutely disgusting and never felt so ripped off. Did a basic service resulting in the car going into limp mode..... when contacted I was told, it's not our problem.... Will never go back and told everyone I had recommended to not go back

  • Karen Easton
