Experienced the misfortune of my first flat tyre in my Polestar 2 on the weekend down in Anglesea. Hannah was very welcoming and helpful on reception and Glen and his apprentice got me back on the road to Melbourne with friendly and supportive help. Thank you.

Had my car serviced here this week.
Very happy with the customer service provided and feedback from staff.
Price was good, and car serviced in a timely manner.

Edit: passenger side mirror has been non functioning for quite some time, with several mechanics stating it cant be fixed. I mentioned that to the guys, and to not worry about it. Quite surprised a few days later to see that the mirror wasnt pointing at the ground and was working properly.
Thank you

As always, Jo and the team were fantastic. Highly recommended and trusted. I have never been talked into getting anything done that wasn’t required. 100% genuine and honest people, can’t recommend them highly enough.

Highly recommend the crew at ATA Lara, who have been looking after our cars since taking over the site from the previous mechanics. Very happy with all the services and repairs we’ve had done, have never been upsold on any unnecessary work (actually the opposite) and have always received great customer service with a smile from Jo and the team (which is highly appreciated).
More than once, I’ve even been very pleasantly surprised to receive a “no charge for that today” on smaller jobs I would’ve still expected to pay something for. Keep up the great work guys!
