Very kind team. Assessed both my cars thoroughly and advised what needed replacing and what could hold off for a bit. Would definitely recommend for anyone who’s looking for a reputable mechanic.

I arrived about an hour before closing, and part of my gearbox had failed. Matt still took the time to inspect it and fix the issue. Thank you again! I highly recommend this mechanic — professional, efficient, and very helpful. I’m not hoping for another problem with my van, but at least now I know where to go!

The team at Matt Gates Automotive brought my Mitsubishi Lancer back from the brink due to a blown head gasket while I thought it was a write-off. I appreciate their excellent work.

Got 5x new tyres, a couple of things fixed and am really happy with how much better my hilux drives since they aligned it. Thanks to Luke for the awesome service and communication. I will definitely be back.

Matt is a true hero. Needed a blue slip the day we were leaving for holiday. Moved his appointments to fit us in. A real down to earth, honest guy. I would recommend Matt to everyone. Thanks again Matt, You are a legend!
