Hey guys,

Looking for car service in Melbourne that’s reliable, cheap and isn’t dodgy or swindle you for extras to get more money out of you.

Any suggestions?

    what's the car? what is your budget ?

    Learn to service your own car and you'll never have to depend on unreliable people, will be cheap and you won't swindle yourself (hopefully).

    Seriously though, all you need to learn to service your car is a service manual, stands + jack or ramp, and socket set. Start with learning how to change oil and oil filter, and top up coolant.

      Some people don’t have enough mechanical sympathy to do their own servicing. They have no clue about the car other than use a key to start it and put petrol in when low. Don’t recommend DIY to those types, they’ll miss other issues a mechanic would probably spot when doing a test drive or looking underneath from a hoist.

      There’s a lot more to know about a car than how to drop the oil. If you have no clue about cars you must go to a mechanic, especially when there is no annual roadworthy inspection.

  • About 18 months ago I found that 'Saadi Auto Repair' was very good/will definitely not scam you, but I am not sure if they are still operating at the moment/everything's a bit uncertain at the moment (because of COVID).

    The head honcho is a great/highly communicative/capable bloke called Cyrus (an Iranian guy). Their number is 0426532570. Even if Cyrus is no longer administrating this operation, I can personally attest to the fact that if he recommends someone else to you, they are highly likely to be trustworthy.
