Automotive Practitioner

Carl is a great mechanic with the right diagnosis equipment!! He lives up to his 5 Star reputation.My 1994 BMW 318IS wouldn't start and I had a number of mechanics look at it over the past 4 weeks, but no one could get it to start. Then Brett, from Tully's Tows, recommended I take it to Carl (Automotive Practitioner).I know that electrical issues are always trick to troubleshoot and Carl also said the fault was quite tricky to find but the car was dropped off late Friday afternoon and I drove it home on Monday afternoon. Great result in such a short period of time. I highly recommend Carl, a true Automotive Practitioner.

After wasting money and with no results on my Audi A4 with 2 other mechanics i was referred to Carl from a friend who spoke very highly about him, my friend told me he is a diagnostic genius.Carl not only diagnosed the issues he presented me with images from his diagnostic equipment and explained in detail the issues with my car.Good work Carl, I will definitely recommend .

Carl was referred to us to help diagnose an error with a vehicle that would not run after sublet repairs were completed, within 24 hours Carl had the fault diagnosed and reported back to us his findings. A great and speedy result with the vehicle now running correctly, thanks Carl

I have been coming here for years, I get honest and reliable service every time. I’ve never had any major issues with my cars because we service them on time. Carl is great to deal with. He is honest and transparent I really enjoying taking my car to someone that is reliable. Thank you for always looking after our cars

Carl was very helpful with diagnosis of a fault on my VW Amarok. It was a slightly strange issue but Carl managed to fix the issue using his knowledge and specialized equipment - I had the issue looked at by the manufacturer who couldn't find the fault so I wasn't that hopefulbthis time, however, the result was great.. I will be using Carl moving forward.

Carl is Automotive genius . I had some issue with my Fiat Van that it won’t start. I took to motor mechanic and he changed starter motor , battery , glow plugs and ignition switch in three different visits( costing me $3000) but still couldn’t fix it . I wasted almost 6 weeks of work due to this issue. One day someone recommended Carl to me and I visited Automotive Practioner .Initially he told me that he have waiting queue for 3 weeks but after explaining the whole situation, he agreed to have a look. He checked everything and diagnosed the fault in less than 20 mins and charged very reasonable. He has got the best setup and diagnostic tools , more importantly the knowledge. Highly recommend. Great work Carl.

I recently had issues with my car. The problem was undiagnosed by 2 mechanics who previously had looked at it and tried numerous different outcomes which I was spending a lot of money with no outcome. I was then recommended by Brett from Tully’s Tow’s to see Carl. Carl had the issue diagnosed within a couple of hours and I had my car up and running the next day! Incredible service and price is excellent. Incredibly nice guy Carl and a really honest mechanic.

We had a serious intermittent miss in our V8 2014 Calais. We picked up the vehicle the next day smooth as silk. Wasn't cheap but good value for money. Very happy.

I obtained a scooter from Ride Scooter Hire and usually returned it when I had an exam. However, on those occasions, they would provide me with a poor excuse and refuse to refund my deposit. Additionally, they attempted to overcharge me for unnecessary repairs, and did not return the replaced parts. I previously left a positive review for them a few months ago, but only because they threatened to withhold my deposit if I didn't. My advice would be to avoid using Ride Scooter Hire as they are only interested in looting money. #scammer

I had a fantastic experience with Carl, I was referred to him by my mechanic when I had a problem with my VW Golf. After more than one person looking at the problem no one could figure out what the problem was. I was suggested to change coil packs and spark plugs, after doing this it did not fix the problem. After getting the car to Carls shop he made the best effort to look at the car despite having bookings already. He diagnosed the problem and got it fixed within a week. It ended up being an injector problem which no one thought it may be except Carl. He sat me down and showed me his diagnostic equipment and how he was going to attempt to diagnose the problem too. I’ve had the car back a few weeks now and it’s never skipped a beat. Carls worth every dollar, and he’s a very good man as well. I couldn’t recommend him enough.
