  "Worsed place i have ever been to. Took my car there working fine for a software upgrade.
  Ended up taking it away with an illegal warrant and no windows wipers, beeping bonnet sensor, no window washer, windows that didn't close, and a command that didn't work as well as many other faults. Paid $3,500. (he insisted on cash) Got abused on the phone and via text when i asked what was causing the errors and told that it couldn't be repaired because there were no parts and I was stuck with the car… this way and that it was faulty when I took it there and that it had been neglected. I have all the receipts for regular services etc (despite it having been driven straight from my normal mechanic without any errors)
  
  I found the parts they claimed were faulty and unobtainable after one Google search.
  
  I fixed the car this morning with a screw driver, spanner and a multi meter. It had a flat system battery and fuses that were not pushed in properly.
  
  The owner charged me for a new battery and 8 months later I've put the old one back as a system battery as it still reads 12.5v. Car works beautifully.
  
  The warrant sheet says window wipers faulty and I may need to replace rear SAM if problem persists, the rear SAM has no faults and doesn't even communicate with the wipers. (Front SAM does that and you can buy all SAM modules for this car)
  
  Was told endless lies and charged for parts the car didn't need all because they don't know how, or couldn't be bothered to check fuses, program a key fob and test a battery."

  "Thanks for a great service and helping out over and above what a run of mill workshop would do for someone."

  "To all those who seem to complain about Wayne and Albany Car Clinic s work practice ,Needs to take a good look at them selves ,because Wayne s crew will not walk out off a job for no reason ,there is always two sides to a coil . by what i have seen and experienced as for as workmanship is concerned i cant fault them at all ,you get treated well there ,how i know i have waited many a times in the reception for my car to be fixed and boy tell you what ,that man Wayne will bend over backwards… to see his clients are happy ,so i say to you two people who put bad feed back id think you have more problems with your car s than you telling the public ,So thank you very much Wayne Denice Craig and Peter id wished id found you guys ten years ago ,ps my family will now all come to you for all there servicing and any work needed

  "This outfit is Dodgy!!!
  Dont waste you time or money here. I have wasted more money taking them to court for not leaving my car in a safe state to drive! I payed top dollar for an advanced service which was not properly carried out on my car as my breaks were not inspected which happened to be worn right to the steal!
  Would you trust somewhere that left your life in danger because something was not properly carried out and stated that it was!!????
  I dont think so!!

  "Had a pre-purchase inspection done .... pointed out a couple of minor issues ... then went on to purchase vehicle and found out a couple of weeks later about several problems that should be/are very obvious to any mechanic including suspension and radiator issues... had these problems verified by 2 other mechanics who came to the same conclusion. very unhappy would never deal with these people again and will be steering everybody else clear."

  "Wayne has been working on our vehicles for the last couple of years, and throughout that time has done superb a superb job. During that time, he's fixed a complex European car, a number of different Jap cars, a large diesil 4x4, and a horse float.

  The quality of the work done is always exceptionally high (as you'd expect from an ex-Formula 1 mechanic), and the prices are competitive. We've recommended him to a number of friends, and thay've all been pleased with the service as… well.
  
  Highly recommended."
