“If you want old school service and honest advice, get to Redhead Automotive Centre. All of my work and personal vehicles get serviced by Luke and the team. I recently had my 1975 Nissan Patrol G60 tuned up. It needed a serious amount of work done to get it running perfectly and it now runs better than ever.”

“Luke really knows his stuff. He has lots of interest in all models and tends to take that extra care with people's Precious ones. They are old school engine builders with new school knowledge. From pink/blue slip, through to basic interval servicing, all the way through to engine rebuilds. These guys can do it.”

“These guys are amazing! Even on a super busy day before the holiday they took the time to help us out. Our van was having exhaust and idling issues which made it dangerous to drive, and they checked it out and gave us easy actionable advice. They found what the issue was that three other mechanics didn't find.”
