I have struggled to find a reliable mechanic since moving to Melbourne at the beginning of 2024. What a pleasant surprise Cox Auto was.
Brought my C63s Cabriolet in for a Service B and they had it completely by 3pm, which is rare from the experiences I’ve had in Melbourne with other mechanics so far. The car drives like new, am actually shocked at the difference in how it drives and performs now, the price was fantastic and extremely fair and their communication was superb.
I’m extremely happy and satisfied with the service from Cox Auto, and it’s a huge relief now to finally have a proper mechanic who can take care of my AMG, and I will be only using them from now on to service my second car as well.
Cannot wait to book it in for its transmission service which they’ve already quoted me for, as it feels like a new car right now, can only imagine how it’ll feel once they do the transmission service on it!
Thank you again, look forward to bringing my car in again very soon!
P.S your detailer is amazing! The car looked brand new!

Had issues with our car’s brakes and suspension, including worn brake discs, a leaking vacuum pump, and damaged control arms. There was also a critical transmission fault that they diagnosed and repaired. The team handled everything thoroughly and efficiently, and the car is running smoothly again. Great service—highly recommend!
