Van Berkel Mobile Auto Eletrical Service Pty Ltd

“Never again. :(

Almost 2 weeks my show car was sitting in the elements (promised would be locked away undercover overnight) Never got seen too. Had to constantly follow up as no contact re: progress (or lack of) was received.
I collected the car and it was covered in a heavy layer of dust from being left out.

Had towed elsewhere (at my expense) and problem diagnosed within the hour with alternate options and fixed and will get back in 2 days max.

I do hope this doesn't happen to others. ”

“This is not a 24/7 business. We required help at approx at 6.30pm at Emerald Caltex service station on a Tuesday he said finished for the day and had few things to do himself. So would advise not to call if require out of hours service. They need to change advert or ATTITUDE!!!!”

“Beware! If someone can fit you in at the drop of a hat and is cheap there will be a downside. Make sure you have any warranty information in writing. I've paid for three alternators from these guys over the last few years and all have failed, the last in less than 3 months. 12 month warranty quickly went to 6 months, then later to 3 and then "There's no warranty, f@#% off and get off my property."”

“The staff are most helpful. Got me out of a bind when I needed my car most. Great attitude and work ethic.”

“Great work, great service, got me out of a real bind. A++++”

“i have been using them to service my cars and their service is very good. The technician is reliable, professional and good at his job. they are cheap too. i would highly recommend”

“I thought my air conditioner which I bought 3 years ago was already hopeless until Shayne gave it a try. It's now fixed and working efficiently!”

“I'm a farmer, and on a major harvesting day, our tractor did not seem to start. We called Shayne and he came out straight away to see what the problem was. Half an hr later the tractor was running perfectly again, he really saved the day. Thanks mate!”

“I was charged an hours labour for a job requiring the removal of 2 plugs. This business over charges for small jobs. Get a quote as not to be trusted.”

“Good customer relations, very helpful.”

“Excellent car servicing.Best mechanic in Adelaide!”

“We had our altenator repaired by these guys, and it cost more than a new one, and two months later, it stopped working while we were driving back to NSW, it fried our battery and caught on fire, so the damage has so far cost us $1500 in damage.”

“We took our car there for a roadworthy because it was close to my wife's work. My wife dropped the car off. They were very polite and gave her a lift back to work. They then rang her to say it failed on 6 items and it would cost nearly $1300 to fix. We were suspicious as we keep it regularly serviced. So we decided to pick the car up and just paid the $150 RWC fee. The "failures" were listed as...

New windscreen and molding
New wiper rubber set
Front brake pads low
Rear brake pads low
Brake clean fluids (sic)
Service all brake calipers

So instead of listing failures, which is what is suppose to happen, they just listed repairs. They wanted to replace the windscreen because of a stone chip. This had been repaired previously but when we got the car back the repair had been chipped out and the hole was now full of biro ink. The wipers had been replaced 3 month earlier and were still in perfect condition. The front brake pads were low but still legal. The rear brake pads still had 60% left on them. We had the brake fluid tested at Brakes Plus and it was fine. As for "Service all brake calipers" I'm not sure why that was a RWC failure. ”

“Value for money from a qualified VACC Mechanic that are getting hard to find”

“This guy is awesome. Cole was the only auto electrician in the redlands who would take the time out to listen about the problems and find the problem with my landcruiser, that 2 other auto electricians in the area could not fix even after charging me close to a total of $860 and keeping me off the road for nearly a week. He fixed the problem with my alternator in half a day at about nearly half that cost and I have driven with no problems for the last 6 months.”

“I've had my car serviced by torenc automotive services I think they are one of the best mechanics around.
I am also pleased with the reasonable prices as well.”
