CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I chose the “premium” package, which was supposed to include an exterior wash, wax, tire shine, and full interior cleaning.
What I actually got.
Tires still dusty — no shine, no effort.
Interior not even wiped properly; stains still on the seats
Green mould not wiped out properly from windows and rubber beedings
Lots of water marks.
Busy or not, there’s no excuse for this level of carelessness . I left feeling like I’d wasted both my time and money. Definitely will NOT be returning .
My honest opinion is that I received a really quick service for my car servicing.
I was informed of a defect, and queried another
Both were taken care of at a fair cost.
I recommend this service. Cheersz.
Thank you 😊
Happy to visit Crown Automotive also impressed by the quality of work 👍
They have always done an expert job, reliable, quick, very affordable, but above all HONEST. I have come across a few dodgy mechanics in my time, but Crown Auto is not one of them.
If you collect a pension, like myself,
I suggest you make Crown your first choice.
One of our cars which is European had a problem that needed fixing. The guys at Crown were able to get the part that we needed and complete it all in under 24 hours!
We will defiantly be regulars with these guys and would highly recommend to all friends & family!
Thanks for doing an awesome job 👍🏾
Service and repairing with them for 2 years. Never had a complaint or anything.
Better price and Excellent service.
A+++++
Will certainly use Crown again.
Friendly, professional, will gladly return.
Thanks team!
I recommend this shop to everyone. Please go there and give them a chance to serve you.
Thanks
Thank you also to GrabOne.
Cheers Team amazing jod done
Crown Automotive, Hamilton ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They always let us know what they are going to do after we explain what mechanical reason we are there for. They also call us to let us know if there is another mechanical issue they find before proceeding to fix the problem which is a big YES from me. They also have vehicle's to use for people in need, when leaving your vehicle with them. And the prices are really reasonable. I highly recommend Crown Automotive to anyone that is looking for a lifetime mechanic as they have been ours for the last 7 years plus. Big appreciation to CROWN AUTOMOTIVE thanks Suk
Which is greatly appreciated
Friendly team
And priced fairly which is my number 1 concern on where to go
I’m a repeat customers who’s only had good experience last with this business
Close walk to Frankton and town so this suits me perfectly as I live rural , and I fill in the time easily
The service technicians were highly skilled and knowledgeable, addressing all of my concerns while explaining the repairs and maintenance required. They went above and beyond to ensure that my car was in top condition.
Reasonable price and I will definitely recommend Crown Automotive to everyone.😊
Car had an engine overheating problem, with coolant leaking. 2 visits to this mechanic later, and we still have an issue to this day. They ran diagnostics, replaced coolant, changed the thermostat- and close to $700 later, there still is no fix.
My husband suggested that the thermostat might need looking at, but to also run tests and see whether there were any other issues. The mechanics took this as a sign to replace the thermostat- without first checking to see whether that was even the issue. Took it home a few hours later, and coolant was gushing from the engine. Took it back, and they told us the thermostat didn’t even need replacing! That they only did it because my husband told them to- which is not what he said. He merely said that MIGHT be the issue, and to run all tests anyway. Your job as a mechanic is to diagnose and then fix- not just blindly follow what clients recommend. We left Crown Automotives with no real answers, just a “we don’t know what is wrong with your car.” No fix, and hundreds of dollars spent on replacing things that never needed replacing. Stay away at all costs and spend your money on competent mechanics instead.
Reasonable price and I will definitely recommend Crown Automotive to everyone.
Staff very friendly and well experienced
Upon reading the other reviews seems like they all complain about the same thing and sounds like he just makes up prices as he goes along.
Be $79 for service plus $35 for synthetic oil for hybrid car , when paid and came home , realised was charged $120 for service, it’s only $6 extra but I think it’s a matter of integrity, my main concern is when the man was checking wipers he took off one of the blade ( don’t know why ) , he put it back , but did not see any issue as I did not use wipers for that day but next day (after 24 hours) I needed to use the wipers because it’s raining, wipers loud noise , then checked and saw that blade has been ripped,
Won’t go back
I called crown automotive and he really sorted me out. He gave me an appointment the very next day and did a fantastic job. He quoted me a very fair price and saved me my hard earned money.
My car was fixed perfectly and it cleared it's WOF without any issues.
To sum it all up.
- Highly Professional
- Honest
- Affordable
- Total value for money
I would highly recommend this place.
It’s been more than six years my vehicles are serviced and taken care by crown automotive with highly knowledgeable staff.
Mechanic said not sure. If it comes next time. Take it to Mercedes authorised dealer and get it scanned there. Charged me $50 for nothing. Such a waste of time and money.
Disappointed and will never go again. It's difficult to have faith in them after what happened recently.
Edit: Owner says, they informed me about the damaged seat before starting the work. Here are my questions:
1. I knew, the seat was damaged and decided to live with it, though I have 6.5 years old son who sits in the rear one. Is it believable? I can provide the proof of payment of different dates.
2. I did not get the seat repaired when they informed me but rather decided to get it repaired after a month. Does is sound sane? It's 10km from my place, why would I burn gas again.
3. They did not damage the seat, but still did not charge labour for repairing it, they just charged the cost of the seat. This story doesn't go well, why would you discount someone when it's not your fault?
"Sorry" would have done, but an error in work and then arrogance, it doesn't help bro. Nothing personal, but one should be professional in business.
. Also gave me correct advise regarding future repair which might be required. Would visit again.
Served me after hours as well
Get discount
Highly recommend
Cheers
I've been recently for my Nissan car & they have done a perfect job. Recommended
Really good service as well as price. I’hv just recently done my car full service, changing tyres, wheel alignments.
One of my friend refer me to go there, and I will refer my other friends as well to visit and get good service.
Thank you very much
The guys worked even after their trading hours to get the job done. Thanku team for your extra hard work.
