What customers say
Honest work.
Honest words.
Great service at a good price. Car ticked over 125000 kms and needed some loving. Now runs like new.
Skipper Auto from my recent experience has provided timely, trustworthy service and information. Prices seem competitive and reasonable accompanying honest appraisals.
Michael is a great and honest mechanic. Does the job properly, doesn't cut corners. Have been going to him for a while and wouldn't go elsewhere!! Hard to find a mechanic that is honest and fair and communicates as well. Cheers
Michael is an awesome bloke and very honest. Fair pricing and will let you know what should be looked at next time and gives you a rough price guide to what you'd be looking at. I highly recommend giving him a chance and I'm very certain you'll be back for the next service. Good work.
Searched for a mechanic nearby, and found Skipper. Took my car this morning to get checked as was having some minor issues. I found Michael's service to be great, and his pricing was fair too. Thanks for showing me what was wrong with my car and fixing the issue so quickly today.
Second time round. Great service and completely transparent throughout the process – both times. Cheers
