Bulls Mogas

Great spot. Others were too busy. These guys were friendly, helpful, no fuss and top fellas. One looks like Ragnar from Vikings. Good price. Use these guys!

Really helpful blokes who sorted us with a Subaru tyre. They didn’t have one but sent us to a mate who did. They reduced our stress a lot! 5 Stars for these boys

Went there with a punctured tyre.
Mark patched it but it did not work.
It was still leaking air. Mark said it was not fixable. I arranged with him to come back next day and buy a new tyre. When I returned he said that he’d had another go at it and it held 40 psi overnight and was good to go. Next morning it had dropped to 24psi. I put on spare and drove to port Augusta where I bought a new tyre. The port Augusta tyre place said my punctured tyre could have been patched but it was not done properly. They said it was a shonky job and would not work on someone else’s job. Hence the new tyre. Pretty ordinary by Bulls especially when you are assured the tyre is fine and your moving on straight away.

Fantastic service from the team to assist me replace a destroyed tyre and rim. Very helpful, fully recommended this business.

The team at Bulls really helped me out of a tight spot when one of the other mechanics in town misdiagnosed my issue, wasting my time and money. They were great to deal with and provided timely and well priced service.

Arrived into Coober Pedy with car jerking and juddering last 80 kms into town. Two friendly mechanics prioritised the work (5 stars!) Firstly, replaced the spark plugs. Car still juddering. Next, a new distributor ordered from Adelaide and installed. Car still juddering. Old distributor re-installed. Mechanics convinced the car had electrical problems which their equipment couldn't diagnose. Desperate, I investigate towing the car to Port Augusta ($1600 - $2600)! Last resort, visited Bridgestone to check fuel filter. Rear tyre bulge discovered. Two new rear tyres and judder fixed!

Sat 4th Sep 2021!

Colin was a very helpful guy!) A+
He had no 215/55R17 or 205/45R17 in stock.
But he done a thorough check & suggested we visit OME down the road as Bridgestone was closed & charge the most per the name label, i.e Nike!

The blokes were great and helped replace a blown tyre first thing no problem to help us get on our way ASAP to our next location.

4 reasons for low rating
1. Before service beeing told that car is not safe to drive, after service P/S fixed, but still not safe to drive
2. After service car left without speaking with Mr. Mechanic, he left us notes and invoice only
3. We got charged for "Replacement of wheel stud" which I found in original packaging inside of the car.
4. He broke Diagnostics port+cap can't be closed now, plus he added it to to do list for replacement

Now in Port Augusta waiting for Toyota service.luckily it was raining while we got there (little friction on tyres) it must be CV axle joint.

Got towed to the town on Friday with steering problems, I hit an object on the side of a road. (powersteering pipe leak, steering turning to one side, tyres wearing out quickly from inside). Next morning Mr. Mechanic said that the car is not safe to drive, we ordered second hand steering rack, P/S belt, wheel stud.we waited till Wednesday for parts to come. I also told him that the car is sputtering if he can hook it up for diagnostics. He couldn't find the port. If I was car designer i would put it somewhere near fusebox I told him. Thursday morning we left the car at garage telling him that the diagnostics port is next to fusebox, cause we checked. 4pm got a call that car is ready, garage was closed, Mr. Mechanic left the car at nearby Oasis Caravan park, with invoice and notes.

Basic service station, good for a range of tyres and fuel is always cheap. If you plan to stay in a caravan park, you will receive a discount for fuel if you stay at the Oasis behind the servo.

Not a bad place to get work done.
Realy helpful and nice mechanic.
If you have a problem. This is the place to go

So. This place is difficult to rate for me.
I think the second star is alright, as the petrol price seems to always be the second lowest in town and the mechanic here is a bit crazy, but absolutely friendly bloke.
But. We came here with an exhaust leak at the manifold (which we could only describe and demonstrate as 'a weird noise, when driving with more than 2k rpm) and six bolts we found under our car.
The mechanic dumped two liters of oil in the engine, took twenty bucks (which seems to be alright in cp) and said' nothing to worry about.

I didn't belive him, found out, that the bolts came from the wheel bearing and we almost lost a wheel and got the exhaust leak diagnosed and fixed at dusty mechs right next door.

Also he recommended an oil change an new filters, but couldn't figure out, what filters he'd need, as we would need two different ones.
I did some research and found out, that the two 'things', he pointed at in our engine bay are no oil filters, but the fuel filter and fuel pump.
We did not return for the oil change, but did it later by ourselves.
