Customer Reviews

“Fantastic service and friendly staff. I had my 200 series Land Cruiser worked on by Redhead Automotive recently and I can not be happier with the level of service from start to finish. I highly recommend them to anyone, from small to large jobs these guys can handle it.”

“Great service and helped us out when we needed it. Highly recommend the team. We will be back.”

“If you want old school service and honest advice, get to Redhead Automotive Centre. All of my work and personal vehicles get serviced by John, 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.”

“We absolutely love Redhead Automotive! They have been our go-to mechanics since we moved here 18 years ago. They are extremely honest, professional and knowledgeable. But more than that they have become our friends. You can't go wrong placing your cars in their hands.”

“Have been going here for years and years because they are great mechanics, they don't lie, they do their best for you and your car. I completely trust them with every vehicle. You won't get ripped off here!”

“Luke and the team have looked after several of our family cars. Always professional and consistent service with a full explanation of what has been done.”

“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.”

“Great experience! Honest and up-front diagnosis of issues. Servicing carried out in a timely manner at a very reasonable price. No hidden tricks, have only had to go back for routine checks and top-ups.”

“I have been a customer at Redhead Auto Centre for probably 30 years or more and can't praise John and Luke high enough for all the amazing work they do to keep my car and my families cars running and in top condition. They will always fit me in even if I have an unexpected breakdown.”

“The only place I take my 2010 BMW E90 to for all servicing, repairs, and mods. Very knowledgeable crew who do outstanding work at a fair price. Highly recommended.”

“Wouldn't choose anywhere else local in Newcastle Area. No job too big or small, and Luke is an honest and thorough professional. I drop my car off in peace knowing the right job will be done by the right person, for the right price.”

“John, Luke and the crew at Redhead Auto have been looking after my car for years. Today they helped again to get a new alternator and get me back on the road within about 90 minutes. You guys are the best.”

“Have taken my cars to Luke and the team at Redhead Automotive for 20 years! Best service out there and nothing is ever an issue. Luke is one of the nicest mechanics and blokes I have ever met!”

“Luke along with John (Grumps) really know their stuff. They have lots of interest in all models and tend 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.”

“Had our Mercedes serviced today for $400 after being quoted $1130 from Mercedes Dealership. We are very happy with the quality of service and have found our preferred mechanic for the future.”

“My partner purchased a XR6 Falcon from John and it was the best purchase we have ever made because of how honest and professional John is and he really is a genuine person that cares. John you are one of a kind and we need more people like you in this business.”

“I have been a long term customer and these guys are a lovely professional team. Always rely on them.”

“Very happy experience every time with Redhead Automotive. Had a few random issues with my car and these guys can really fix any problem! They are always happy to help for emergency issues and they do a great job on regular services. Great prices. Very trustworthy and they really know their stuff about cars.”

“After calling a few other shops in the area regarding a blue slip inspection and dealing with negative to hostile personalities I called Redhead Automotive and found Rodney upbeat and pleasurable to speak with. They had the inspection complete in about an hour, complimented me on the condition of the vehicle and I was on my way. Very positive experience.”

“I have been getting 2 of my cars serviced here for many years and the staff are excellent at their jobs, all professional in each of their roles. I thoroughly recommend anyone that needs any mechanical work done — do yourself a favour and book your car in and have a trouble-free experience.”

“The team are thorough, diligent, honest and reasonable. Excellent service. I cannot recommend RAC highly enough.”

“Recently had my car serviced at Redhead Automotive, the team were great and very well priced. Everyone was very lovely to deal with especially the office lady! Will definitely be back.”

“Another great experience. Were very accommodating in providing communication over email including quotes etc. Attention to detail very evident. Whether it's the family Tiguan or 1996 BMW M3, these guys have the knowledge and craftsmanship.”

“John & Luke (family business) have been our family mechanic for over 15 years now. I would've moved on by now if they'd given me a reason to. Until then, I'll keep coming back!”
