J.Pringle Automotive

Have been to these guys twice now - first time was to replace the diff bushes as they were 40% cheaper that the next best quote. 2nd time was to replace a bearing in the diff. We had been to 3 other mechanics who couldn’t identify the problem and had suggested $1,500+ worth of works that ultimately wouldn’t have resolved the issue. Dropped in here on the way past one day, they jumped in for a test drive, diagnosed the problem in 2 mins. I wouldn’t bother going anywhere else if you have a problem with your drive train.

Drove past and they diagnosed the issue, gave me a quote, and gave me a booking date promptly.
On pickup explained fault and charged as quoted. I didn't get any sense of rudeness as some have suggested, just direct, to the point interactions which is perfect - in and out.its a business transaction, not a social club, cannot fault them on anything and highly recommend them.

These guys were super helpful & easy to deal with! Explained everything to me so I knew exactly what was going on, and were happy to help with all questions I had. Highly recommend!:)

The team were super professional and honest. Was recommended by my mechanic to visit these guys as i had a transmission issue with my car that he was not able to fix. They went with me for a test drive, diagnosed the issue and gave me a quote straight away. Car was fixed within a week and super happy with the outcome! Highly recommend to everyone!

Great service from Jason and the lads. Showed me exactly what the problem was, found me the best price and got it done quick.

These guys are excellent and really know their stuff, would highly recommend them been taking my Mercedes to them for years

Great service, they fixed a transmission problem on my 2006 Audi A3 quickly, professionally and at good price.
Not many BS talking like many in this field, exactly as I like.

Jason and the team have been wonderful to deal with. They squeezed me in on a Friday afternoon after my car broke down and Audi wanted nothing to do with me. Their work was of the highest standard.
My car was recently recalled by Audi for a fault in the Mechatronics unit that I had replaced. Since then Jason has gone above and beyond by providing all of the supporting documents to help me with my claim. I would highly recommend J Pringle Automotive.

Right from the start of my phone enquiry they knew what the problem was with my vehicle, they followed up with checking & confirming on the day what was needed to rectify the problem with my Audi Q5 and saved me heaps $.

A very happy customer of Pringle auto, highly recommend taking your car to see Rick & Jason clear in explaining what was work was needed and options

I took my car for a diagnostic as my transmission fluid was leaking from the dipstick, a guy came to have a look and within 10 seconds he said I needed a new transmission (over 2k). Prior to my visit I did some research and found that the problem could be a blocked valve which was a simple fix, when I asked him if that could be the problem he said my car had no breather valve, I found it strange and went to Just Trans in Coburg and the guy unblocked the valve after having a good look at it. The job took 5 seconds and he didn't charge me anything. People remember to do your own research before and get a second opinion always.

So helpful explaining why my transmission had a problem & what was needed to repair with a very reasonable cost.

So pleased I made a call to chat about my transmission problem, would have spent thousands at a dealer that wasn’t necessary, what a great find the guys were so happy.

Honest and so knowledgeable from the start saved all the pain of taking to a dealer to be charged for something they told me over the phone

Couldn’t be happier that at last my pride & joy was repaired with some one who knew what they were doing even chasing down parts from o/s to cut costs on my old ford mustang

On two seperate occasions / cars we had a gearbox changed - both times no rear main seal was used and the clutches completely burnt not to mention the mess of oil on the driveway.

Worse, the young guy there (owner / owners son?) was extremely rude and defensive.

Who knows, maybe they’ve improved since. I hear their good with automatics.

Very experienced and know how to properly diagnose issues. Had three cars there in the last 12 months and been very happy.

Very informative and accommodating at every stage and fairly priced.they diagnosed the problem and repaired the transmission in my BMW X5 Like it is new again.

Very friendly and helpful. The team know what they’re doing and very efficient. Will recommend to others. Keep up the good work!

Jason and the team are true stand up guys - the true meaning of customer excellence is represented when you visit this business!
The analogy of look after your customers’ or someone else will is well ingrained in these guys and they not only provide first class service but excel at it!
Well done guys and congrats on your business model that delivers exceptional customer service! My DSG auto is in great hands now and these are the only guys I’d recommend for all your transmission needs!
