A B Automatics 1999 Ltd

Should have been on alert when Ian didn't bother turning up until 8.30 am when the advertised opening time is 8 am. Was quoted approx $140 for a tune up and to check the automatic. Nothing additional was done and no parts were used. When I turned up he said the charge was $202 and I handed over my bank card. When I checked my account that night he'd taken $567.46. When I contacted him he said that's what he'd told me he was charging to my card. Still hasn't provided me with a detailed invoice despite several emails requesting one. This guy is an absolute rip off. Don't trust him and don't go there. I'm now having to take him to the Disputes Tribunal.. So see you there Ian..

Promptly the work was carried out and our vehicle is driving now so much better.

I haven't got anything positive to say about my experience with A B Automatics. If I could give a negative star rating, I would.Check the bill before paying, I would have been significantly overcharged if I hadn't checked.Don't believe the website when it says there's a team of mechanics, in reality it is a one man show so jobs take months to be completed.

Excellent service and very helpful and friendly

Bruce White, I was in the other room while your discussion with Ian was happening, and after seeing your review had to comment.I have to say you were anything but sympathetic to the owners bereavement, I got the impression from your comments that Ian should have not taken time off for this and been working on your gearbox instead, you never once expressed sympathy.As for the black mail, I don't want to be charged for the work you did for me

Had a great experience with AB. My starter motor died at a horrible time and Ian had it sorted quick. Checked prices and options with me before proceeding, gave a rough idea on price. Have recommended to many friends and family!

Shocking!! Took him three weeks to do nothing! This is the rudest business i have ever delt with! I was nothing but sympathetic with this guy and he still engorged my phone calls, and when i did get a hold of him he was asking me to find parts numbers! I ended up taking my transmission back at this point, in worse condition then when i dropped it off.... And he still changed me $150...

Ian took time to take my vehicle for a test drive and diagnose the problem and then advise the action that would need to be taken. There was no pressure to get the work done and advice was very helpful.

Ian is really friendly, and not at all condescending like other mechanics I’ve been to. Even though he was busy he managed to sort my transmission out within a couple of hours, and for a very reasonable price. Couldn’t be happier with my experience, and will be recommending to my friends!

Super knowledgeable and professional. Had our 2010 Outback in for a valve body replacement. All finished up and sorted out in record time.
