--Lack of integrity. Very poor communication. Poor service-- Racecourse Automotive was a nightmare. They installed a new timing belt incorrectly causing my car to run roughly and judder. I returned the car twice but they refused to acknowledge their error. Pat said they were unable to fix the problem and didn’t even have the diagnostic tools. I had to take the car to another mechanic to resolve the issue. . Pat repeatedly denied that the work carried out at Racecourse Automotive had caused the problem, even though the issue only occurred after they worked on the car, and another mechanic verified that they had installed the timing belt incorrectly. I sought legal advice and, even though Racecourse was liable for the cost of repair, Pat refused to cover the cost. In the end, to save time on legal action, I offered to split the cost 50/50 which Pat agreed to. Even then, he wanted me to stay silent about my experience.

Pat and his crew are incredibly helpful and efficient. I had a flat battery in the area one day and Pat went out of his way to drive down and jump it! Then took it back to the shed and he had the battery replaced in under 20minutes. Absolute legend. Will not be going to any other mechanic. Have also had a service here once before and really appreciated the professionalism - reasonably priced and Pat explained all costs and repairs to me afterwards. Thanks so much Pat - I’ll be recommending you to everyone I know.

  • Yvonne Briggs

Had a RWC done, quote $165. Broke a wheel nut while checking the brakes that I had just had repaired. Charged for the wheel nut $27 which I understand but then charged $120 to replace it. Our RWC has run out, while ringing around to book another RWC to sell our car I have asked other operators about this in advance. They have said if racecourse auto broke a part I should not have paid for the repair. Customer beware. Total cost $311.80

To my horror i discovered a large puddle of oil under my diesel ute when working in Ascot Vale. I called Pat and explained, no worries he said i'm just about to head out for a road test and he would come past and see me. Thank you Pat for helping me push my car off the road and the quick repair the next day. cheers mate.

It’s hard to find a motor mechanic that you trust it’s a bit like finding a decent GP. I have used Racecourse a couple of times now after my local mechanic recommended them when he retired. I have found them to be honest, reliable and knowledgeable. I will continue to rely on them in the future.

  • John Catibog

Pat is a fantastic mechanic. He maintains and repairs our family's cars. Professional and friendly service all the time. Always has time to explain what the cars will need and alternative options. Charges fair prices. Highly recommended for all service and repair jobs.

Great mechanic! Needed a RWC after moving interstate and some repairs were needed. Racecourse completed everything in a speedy manner! Prices appear very fair to me considering the high quality work and friendly approachable manner of the mechanics! Would recommend

Pat and Connor are mechanics you can trust. Have been going to them for years and have never had an issue with their servicing and advice. They know their stuff and I never feel like I'm getting charged for more than is necessary. Highly recommend

If your car is broken or needs a service, talk to Pat. Racecourse Automotive are excellent mechanics. Honest, reliable and affordable. They look after my 2 cars and he always tells me straight up what my best options are. Book a time in today!

  • Andrea Jenke

Safety is Pat's priority and I appreciate the guidance and honesty he gave me on my recent car service. I would rather support small business than a large brand garage and I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Racecourse Automotive.

Brilliant mechanic, friendly and honest. My go to mechanics in the inner north west. Highly recommended. It does not look like much from the outside but if you want old fashioned quality service. Go there.

Roadworthy done on the 13/2/18 did not check control arm on L/H/S (Volkswagen Polo). Not ideal for a young person to drive her first car. Had to pay a lot money to repair. Not recommended for roadworthy

Asking for a minor service and they chuck in extra light bulbs and windscreen wipers for no reason increasing the cost from $200 to $400. Greedy.
