If ST stood for “Super Troopers,” it would be spot on!
ST Automotive have been looking after me and my cars for the last three years, and they’ve been consistently great. Professional but relaxed, and always willing to go the extra mile - even squeezing in a last-minute PPVI and wheel alignment when fully booked.
Paul at the front desk is a legend - calm, helpful, and when I’m unsure about which tyres to buy, he pulls up photos so I can see exactly what they look like. It’s the little things like that which really make a difference.
When another workshop failed my car on a PPVI for no good reason, ST reassured me, confirmed it was safe (they had WOF’d it), and backed it up with a proper inspection for another buyer. They’ve also helped me challenge dodgy tyre advice in the past by having their tech explain everything clearly.
Just a really solid place, supportive people who know their stuff and treat you right. Highly recommend - if I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

Quite good mechanics, but found the guy on service reception - Paul, to be quite rude. Spoke to him several times and every time he was quite condescending, won’t be back for that reason alone.

AND BROKEN DOWN ON THE MOTORWAY WITH IN THEIR WARRANTY PERIOD. NO HELP AT ALL, BUT GET TOLD OH IT COULD BE THIS OR THIS (ITEMS THAT YOUD EXPECT REPLACED IN A FULL REBUILD).
EVERY TIME I TALK TO THEM THEY SOUND DODGIER AND DODGIER WITH CONTRADICTION OF WHAT THEY PREVIOUSLY SAID.
After paying 13k for a rebuilt engine
Fit faulty turbo then charged to repair it
I/c some how became cracked
Charged for wheel alignment never asked for
With in 1000kms alignment is worse it has ever been
Wheel weights missing and putting wheel off balance after they had been working on it
Try to charge $100/tyre more than 99% of other places
Vehicle stunk of cigerette smoke
Going to need a re-tune now as they wiped my previous tune
Consistently lying and contradicting themselves
Instead of replacing the worn oil drain rubber washer they just tried to tighten it and it constantly was dripping oil.
Engine ran out of oil and as it was after hours I had to purchase oil from gas station which the then drained and charged me for more oil.
A job that they were ment to be specialists at cost over 7k more than quoted.
AGAIN YOU SPIN 💩 2 tyres were barely legal and 2 were 25% worn.
The 2 that needed to be changed were booked to get changed but the ute had to go back to yous repeatedly due to faulty parts and workmanship. As soon as I got the ute back for longer than a few days it went in and got the new tyres which were exactly what you quoted but $103/ tyre cheaper than what you tried to rip me off on.

Absolutely great team. Called in the morning and some one was out to me by lunch and car was fixed by the next day. Team all friendly and went above and beyond to get me sorted in a timely matter. Really appreciated. Would recommend.

Many thanks Shane & Tania for your excellent service this morning, when my car wouldn't start (flat battery). After an SOS to family friend Jason S, he phoned your shop & Paul contacted me to advise Riley was on his way. Riley arrived 5 or so minutes later & within around half an hour of my original SOS call to Jason, my car was going again. Thank you all so much for the very prompt & friendly service, in enabling me to get to work. Karen McDonald
