AAA-Auto Specialist Pty Ltd

"Worst experience I've ever had at a mechanic! Booked in for a simple Rego check, turned up & the guy was so rude. He demanded I fill in details about the car, which I couldn't find such as the vin number, engine details and other details. I couldn't find these details and I searched everywhere for some paperwork in my car. I've never been asked to provide these details before. He then proceeds to tell me he'll take me out and show me where they are. I did fill out all the other details on the card he gave me, but I didn't know my vin number etc. I was running late for work by this point and I've never needed to be "shown" these details before, so I wasn't really expecting this. Then a lady walks in and the guy starts talking over me to her, but she kindly says "oh I'll wait while you service this lady" but he ignores that and then sits down and continues to talk to her about something else, ignoring me. I was a bit upset by this point, he was just ignoring me for no reason at all, and really dragging out what I thought was a simple rego check. So I said to him forget it, I'm leaving, I'm late for work because of this. I understand he need details, but this was over the top. I filled in everything else, and I signed the slip. In my experience of over 20 yrs of getting a pink slip done at a mechanic I've never had to go through that. I'm not sure what this guy problem was, I've never been there before and never seen him before but he treated me very poorly as a customer."

"I am new to the area and Mike has been super helpful in helping me obtain a blue slip to transfer my interstate car rego, as well as ordering a custom piece for my car to fix a broken panel on the back. Will be back for all of my services and car maintenance, always at a good price. Thanks Mike!"

"“One of the best old school mechanics on the Central Coast” were the words of an NRMA mechanic that helped me with a punctured tire after he asked who my mechanic was. And I couldn’t agree more!! Mike has looked after me and my old car for more than 5 years. I expected to get a couple of years out of my car when I got it and it’s still running perfectly and has never let me down. All thanks to Mike. As a sole parent I rely heavily on having a reliable car and money and resources are often a challenge. I can trust Mike 100%. He always gives me enough notice of possible future repairs so I can safe up for them, wherever possible resources second hand parts, knows his trade like nobody else I’ve met before, is always generous with his time and advise, always makes sure I get a lift home if I have to leave my car with him and does all of that for a more than fair price. If there where 10stars Mike would deserve every single one of them. Today I picked my car up after a service and it’s not just driving like new it also came back vacuumed and cleaned. Unbelievable service!! Mike you’re not just skilled and knowledgeable in your trade but generous, helpful and kind. Very grateful! I can only highly recommend your services to everybody that reads this message and I hope you and your team will be around for many more years to come. THANK YOU"

"I have been a loyal customer for many years with Auto Specialist. Mike and his team are honest and professional mechanics who are always willing to take their time to actually find the problem instead of doing “guess work” like other mechanics do. They also charge at a reasonable price! Thank you Auto Specialist for your amazing service. Highly recommend!"

"As an ex-motor mechanic I have been frequenting Mike's business ever since he was operating out of the original location: Entrance Road Bateau Bay. Originally my visits were for registration inspections only but as the car aged other problems were also addressed. Mike loves his job fixing cars and will not be defeated easily. I thoroughly recommend this business and would not hesitate to write. Best mechanic in Australia, your awesome Mike."
