Pate & Vernooy Automotive

So impressed. My car indicator was low on oil so I stopped in without an appointment (and had never been before) to ask if they could take a look.
They immediately greeted me and then came right over to see how they could help. Looked at both the oil and coolant (I was also worried about the fan belt) and topped me up right away. So kind to take the time when I didn’t even have an appointment booked. I will definitely be back!

As a female I have apprehension going to a new mechanic. Just moved to the area and needed an emergency check on my car so I brought it in. They were so accommodating and friendly, explained everything they did, and got back to me super quick. Great price, didn’t leave me questioning what I paid for. I’ll be back for sure

Went in for my pink slip and Michael was lovely and super efficient! Had a great overall experience and was super grateful they squeezed me in before my rego ran over!

Would highly recommend for all your car servicing needs. They were extremely helpful, professional, quick and easy! I had my car back within a few hours of dropping it off and they were very helpful and attentive. They were also transparent with the cost, which was very reasonable. Will be going back.

I took my car for a oil change and Michael was dishonest charge diagnostic fee without letting me know before and still couldn't find out the problem never go back again

Very efficient and friendly service. Provided a clear understanding of the work required and finished it all in record time. Will be back.

Excellent SAAB mechanic for logbook servicing in the Eastern Suburbs. Michael and the team at Pate and Vernooy SAAB know everything there is to know about SAAB 900s, SAAB 9000s, SAAB 9-3, and SAAB Aero servicing in Sydney! Highly recommended!

Have never been to such a helpful, friendly and trustworthy mechanic. We will definitely be coming back for our next service. Thanks so much for your quick work today Michael — really appreciate it!

These guys are legends! Called up the day before for a blue slip inspection, they were able to squeeze us in the next day. Dropped the car off first thing in the morning, expecting to be called later that day - they turned it around 30mins later with no issues. Michael was really professional and helped us with all our questions and queries. Highly recommend!

5 Stars is not enough to describe the amazing customer service, professionalism, mechanical experience and friendly service of Michael and his team. Thank you very much for taking such great care with my mother’s Mercedes. It was an absolute pleasure to be a client, and I would only recommend one mechanic to anyone - Pate & Vernooy Automotive!

Most detailed service I’ve ever had on my car. They’re upfront with a fair price. They prioritised what they needed to and flagged potential issues to keep an eye on. I’d noticed my car had been losing torque, so they checked the spark plugs and electronics for me. Turns out, the oil was very black and a simple oil change to the good stuff has the car running better. They checked my battery, which a previous mechanic neglected to do last year. A week later, it died and these guys sorted me out right on closing time. Excellent customer service.

It's very difficult for me to write a review of Pate & Vernooy without going into hyerbole. Michael and his team are simply the most competent, trustworthy and reliable mechanics that I have ever dealt with. Nothing is too much trouble for them, I always know exactly where I stand.

Dealing with Michael is always a pleasure. He is totally reliable, and I have absolute trust in him. I can't remember how long I've been going to Pate & Vernooy (it must be at least 10-15 years, if not way more) and I've been only too happy to introduce various members of my family and friends over the years.

The day this business closes I will literally be wearing a black arm band.

Michael and his team are by far the most professional and trustworthy group of mechanics I have ever dealt with. Michael is the type of person I would (and have) recommend (ed) to my grandmother - it’s just a shame she’s stopped driving.where were you 10 years ago when we/she needed you Michael!

Thank you for all of your efforts with the two vehicles my partner Alexandra and I have brought you.it‘s the nicest feeling in the world to know we can trust all of your advice and guidance - knowing how much pride, effort and professionalism you put into all of your customer interactions always puts our mind at ease.

Recommended to all reading this!

I highly recommend you take your car here best mechanic in Rushcutters Bay Edgecliff! Over 20yrs of knowledge and experience Michael is a top bloke very understanding and friendly highly helpful in any situation always recommend him who ever lives around the city area love ya work legend!

Michael looked after me and my Q7. Great guy, professional and honest. Highly recommended to any European car owner!

One part of me wants to keep Pate & Vernooy to myself. If everybody knew how good they are, I would need to book months in advance. But the other part of me wants to do the right thing and be honest. So here is the honest part of me: Pate & Vernooy are the best car mechanics we have ever used. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

I used these guys for years and they really helped me out when i needed it recently! Good guys.

Amazing service. They tell you the truth and don’t over charge! Very trustworthy and go the extra mile!

Honest, proactive and personable mechanics who have pragmatically helped me keep my old Volvo alive.
