      Can't fault their free tyre puncture repairs on tyres purchased from them. Had a slow leak. Drove up, guy inspected it, said it was repairable. Left the car there for about 45mins. Came back and collected the car.

        I had this too, it was on the sidewall so it was replaced for free. In saying that, the 2 mycars I went to (my usual one) and the one they sent me to cos my regular store didn't have stock, they weren't very clear and seemed a little annoyed about having to change the tyre for free.

            @hooray: cant compare and All-terrain (AT prefix for Bridgestone) and regular consumer tyres.
            Any AT should last 50k (that'd be a min expectation, and realistically should go for 80-100 depending on weight/driving style)
            A consumer tyre (sedans/SUVs) is more like 30-50

      They took over from KTAS (Kmart Tyre and Auto), probably just a change of shirt for the mechanics.

      Long story short I complained that a logbook service I had done (through KTAS) missed out a lot of the logbook service items.

      The regional managers response was "How can we be expected to know every cars manufacturers logbook service requirements". The car I had service was Mitsubishi Lancer, hardly an exotic overseas car.

                  @GregRust: yes exactly, it was surprising to see that. If they don’t have simple software to see logbook steps, its highly doubtful that many would be trained enough to work on your cars and also they won’t be having detailed service steps manuals for the cars.

            @dtc: if you see dealership service screen, its a list of steps that are required to be done. Same list you can see in your car’s service manual. the instance I am talking about, mycar didn’t have that list in their system, he googled and found points from forum posts and when I checked my car’s service manual, few of the things he said were not due until next 20k.
            So its not a logbook service when they do not have a logbook checklist.

            There are precisely few people in this thread collectively negging those who oppose chain mechanics and upvoting those who support, probably associated with such chains

      Horrible. Avoid.

      Went to my car in Inalloo in WA for normal logbook service. They had my car overnight because they said I needed a new timing kit. Picked up car and they said flippantly “an error has come up but only dealer can remove it, it’s to do with the DPF, and will go away once you drive for a while”

      2 weeks later after error still not going away I go back to mycar and they deny ever saying anything about error. Said they can look at car for $150. I walk out.

      I take car to Holden. They investigate and mechanic tells me that timing kit was fitted completely wrong. Circa $1800 down the drain. They were rude and wrong.

      • MS Paint on 03/02/2025 - 09:55

        Generally if a timing kit is fitted completely wrong the results are catastrophic for interference engines. You may have been had twice.

      I took my car in for a minor service. Came back idling rough and one of the cylinders misfiring. Turned out they had cracked a spark plug but for whatever reason they didn't detect it on the test drive. I could tell driving home there was as issue and OBD scanner showed me which cylinder. They said they didn't cause the issue but replaced the spark plug. I found another local mechanic instead that is recommended by others on my local FB good karma group.

      What log book servicing needs to be done on an EV? What do they do? Change the plugs??? I'd think tyre rotation, alignment, refill the washer fluid and replace wiper blades would be about the max they could do.

        Fair point. We went to the branch in Braddon that had really good google reviews. We used to go to DMB in Dickson but switched to take advantage of the last time they ran this offer. We won't ever use them again.

    • dtc on 03/02/2025 - 09:54

      I’ve used the one in Braddon for the last 10 years. No complaints or over servicing and the cars haven’t had any issues.

      Btw you can’t just assume because mechanic 1 says ‘you need this work’ and mechanic 2 says ‘you don’t’ that mechanic 2 is correct. Maybe they are and maybe they didn’t look or didn’t appreciate there will be a problem in 6 months time.

            @life is suffering: Major service. Oil, oil filter, brake fluid, coolant, cabin filter.
            Normally it's in the 200-250 mark but German cars have expensive oil changes, there's just a lot of oil in the things.

  • sillyhead on 03/02/2025 - 09:11

    I think whether mycar is good or bad depends on the individual location.

    I think in general they run a model similar to all the others ("Midas" well do your shocks as well) It would be hard to turn a profit otherwise just selling tyres. Upselling mechanical part replacements whilst doing every job the quick and easy way. Honestly these places have taken on a car dealership model, and what do you expect they are a business. Most of the time I think might be better off going to you normal car dealer brands than these big box servicing places. I think people have established the mindset that your ultratune, Midas, Mycar are cheaper than dealer servicing. But I've found it really not to be the case.

    If you can find a good independent garage in your area where you can actually talk to the mechanic that's the way for sure. That way they know your coming back so they'll make money through additional jobs throughout the life of car when they are required. Rather than ambushing you every time you come in if you choose to switch all the time or go to the majors.

    • SeanConnery on 03/02/2025 - 09:15

      Agreed they're actually more expensive than some dealers. For example Honda only charges $200 per service on my CRV. Also adapative service items like brake fluid change, transmission fluid and fuel filter was far cheaper at my Honda too.

        Unfortunately, this wasn't the case with my local Honda dealer. Was quoted $625 for a minor logbook service on a 13 year old Jazz. Other chain mechanics quoted $300-350.

        • SeanConnery on 03/02/2025 - 16:26

          Why are you even considering a logbook service when its that old? If you were to sell the car, most buyers wouldn't even care about its logbook service history to be frank.

          • beesider on 03/02/2025 - 16:44

            @SeanConnery: You're right. I usually just do "essential service" and ask them to check if something else needs to be done. It's just after reading your comment I decided to give a try at my local Honda dealer if I could get a cheap service.

    • backupper1 on 03/02/2025 - 09:18

      True, best to avoid these big brand all purpose garages because they will not know details of each manufacturer and usually do a sloppy job. If you got non Euro cars then best to goto dealer car servicing, for Euro if you can afford then dealership or else an indie who is good at specific brands.

      Yeah agreed. I also think its good to be able to do the service when you want to the quality you want. I hate dropping cars down for the day and stuff every time I line it up it our family there's some spanner in the works. You never know what oil they used or for example whether they flushed the coolant or just dropped and changed what was in the radiator.

      Also you can learn your car and pre-plan the bigger jobs so you aren't in for a shock. Things get expensive nowdays. A leaky tappet cover gasket can cost well over $400 at a mechanic.

      Its not for everyone though. Its not 1980 anymore and multi-skilled people aren't as common as they were.

    I went to my local one in the shopping center (Erina) for a pink slip, big mistake. They definitely try to squeeze everything they can from you. Quoted me $1200 on a list of things that I know my car (worth max $2000) does not need, said if I don't do it I will not get a pass on the rego check. I said no and went to another local shop on the same day, passed the check on the spot. I highly recommend that anyone considering ‘mycar’ avoid them. People who do not know anything about their car would easily fall for their scam.

    Mycar are franchises and from just the responses to this post some are fine and some are shonky ripoffs. Other reviews i have seen tell a similar story.
    It looks to me that Mycar is just an advertising and administrative franchise and probably keeps out of any sort of QA for their franchisees.
    That being the case I would be comparing their $100 off logbook cost to any other mechanic, and perhaps be asking about reliable mechanics in your area.

  • jollster101 on 03/02/2025 - 09:55

    My 5 year old Forester is now out of warranty so I'm not too fussed about going back to Subaru. Next service is 60K k's which is basically an oil and filter change a look over everything.

    One wouldn't think people could get too much wrong with that. Using their online booking the cost came out to $298 based on supplied rego, that was without the $100 off.

    Could be tempted for this particular service.

    2. Right rear brake globe holder is broken.
    3. Left front fog light is not working.

    if you're out of the dealership warranty period, find a good independent mechanic.

        Hello, I have tried to PM but it says that the account doesn't take new messages. Is there any chance I could email or have a PM from you guys to get this sorted? Appreciate the help

    I think it's hit and miss. Have used a couple and both have been at least good.

    Price also very fair for general/minor service on my old rust bucket for general service it's ~180 after 100 discount and major service is alot higher at around ~680 including spark plugs

      Spark plugs only takes about 10 minutes once you get the long wrench extension. You can buy kit from supercheap without leaving house.
