K & T Ballina Mechanical

Took my car in to fix an easy oil leak. They took my car, had a look and told me they could fix it in a few hours. They then called me 4 hours later to tell me they didn't have the part they needed and hadnt done anything to the car.nI gave them a chance and took it back the following week after they got the part they needed and got the oil leak fixed. They charged me 2 hours of labour for a 30 minute job and didn't call me once they had finished. I had to chase them up at the end of the day to ask if it was ready to pick up.nWould not recommend, they will overcharge and stuff you around in at least one way or another. Have been warned now by multiple mechanics and people in the trade not to use these guys anymore and will be taking their advice.

Avoid these mechanics - they are scammers!nnI left my car for a week and they had done nothing on my return except tell my I need a complete new throttle body for $$$$. I was suspicious after they charged me $177 to do nothing. I subsequently bought a can of carb cleaner and cleaned the valve in the throttle body which was dirty(!!!) and the issue seems to have resolved. Unimpressed with these idiots as they clearly do not aim to help people.nnThis business should be closed down for good!

Very unprofessional, do not take your car here! They had my car for over a month and claimed they were too busy to fix it. Originally told me that all 6 of my fuel injectors needed replacing when only one was not working and quoted me double the price for them. They did not let me know they were closing up early for the Christmas break, I had to hear this from the owners wife on facebook after they had closed. When they reopened I called and they informed me that they had to order in a special tool for the job and they were waiting on that! Both the owner and an employee told me a maximum of 7 hours labour when I finally went in to pick up my car they charged me for 8, what a rip off this business is. I will not be going back!

My partner and I were on holidays and needed to get an e safety done on our car as it was due for registration the following day. We ended up making a booking with these guys without first regrettably checking the very poor reviews online. When we arrived to pick up the car he told me that it had some problems that needed fixing and would be costly, a few things were mentioned but the major one was that the tappet cover gasket needed replacing because it was severely leaking which came as a shock because it had been replaced three weeks prior by our reputable family mechanic of many years. Not to mention there were no oil marks where it had been parked in the few days leading up, also the indicators were the wrong shade of orange? turns out only one shade is manufactured for our vehicle. We decided to get a second opinion and they tightened the bolts on the bottom end and passed he vehicle I am certain they tampered with the veihcle to squeeze money out of us. To boot we discovered that the centre console was missing a hand full of coins. We are speechless and it has left us with a very bad taste.

Do not go there had my ute in for exhaust work they proceeded to do burnouts am now dealing with the police stay clear
