thornbury car care

Does a fantastic job on mine and my partner's car. Very genuine and lovely guy. George explains things to me in an easy to understand language which is great and really rare in my experience. I really feel like he looks after us! Our most trusted mechanic for sure.

Was recommended George by a friend a few years back and have always had a good experience. Super honest, respectfully priced and doesn't try to do unnecessary work - in fact, has on several occasions dissuaded me from getting work done that I could do myself. Had a transmission fault recently that I was wanting looked at - he suggested an easy fix over the phone that actually worked, and saved me a ton of money.

George is an honest bloke who genuinely cares. He saved me a good few hundred dollars getting my car towed and did a fantastic job patching up my car! He thoroughly explained to me everything that went wrong with my car, how he corrected the issues and future problems that were likely to arise with the car. George goes above and beyond and I'd recommend him to any of my friends.

George is a really great down to earth person.The thing I liked the most about this place is that they genuinely look at the customers interests. After being ripped off from other mechanics for a while now I feel I've finally found someone who'll give me the right advice for my car. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone. You and your car will be looked after well.

After trying another mechanic closer to home, it is a pure joy and relief to be coming to George again. I am impressed by the professional attitude and commitment to work, the integrity and the quality of the workmanship. And if all that wasn't enough, I get my car back not just running better but looking cleaner than before.

George was recommended to me three years ago by a friend who is highly knowledgeable about cars and told me that George was the best. I am so happy that I found him and now can't imagine taking my car anywhere else. He is an excellent mechanic with a strong conscience and a good heart. He clearly loves working with cars and takes a great deal of pride in servicing them well. I have also found him to have very strong principles which it comes to honesty, charging fairly, clearly explaining what he has done and providing an excellent service without ''upselling' things that are not needed. His prices are much lower then at the car service centres. Really, he is just a lovely, genuine person who provides an excellent service at an excellent price.

Great advice and service, he explained everything that needed to be done and I am very satisfied with the work he did. I have finally found a good mechanic that won't rip you off and does a fantastic job at a good price.

George is the most honest mechanic I have come across. I recommend him to anyone. His prices are cheaper than anywhere else Ive been. I will be a loyal customer for years to come. George , his wife and the other man who work there are the most genuine people Ive ever met in the mechanic world. 5 stars from me

Car left in worse condition than went in. Alternator needed replacement. George ‘could not locate’ replacement, I had to source all the parts. It then took him 2 weeks to change the part. (He was busy I understand this) but when I took the car home to inspect it myself , he had not I completed the job . Bolts were not fastened and parts were not back in their correct place, then causing damage to other parts of the car. Needed to take to another mechanic to fix his mistakes. Charged me 150$ for a quick fix dodgy job.now costing me more to fix. Photo 1 is George failing to put a nut on the alternator bolt, resulting in the bolt hole being damaged due to rattle. Picture 2 is the timing belt cover being damaged, as the alternator was put on too far back and the belts were rubbing through. I also agree with other reviews on this business, be very wary of ATO, he asks for cash only and charges you 50$ more for card.

had my car serviced recently. extremely pleased with my experience. car is running like a dream and got honest advice about future work that may need doing down the track.will be back for sure.
