“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”
