When living in Ocean Grove there is alway local people who you always know will give you top notch service and this is one. Fairly busy so expect to wait a few days for a few things but overall great service and a reasonable price. Had one issue there but they are happy or so they seem for you to take it back and get them to check it again for no costs.

I took my Mazda 6 diesel wagon to Gardiner Automotive in Ocean Grove where I live because I couldn't get in to Geelong to the usual Mazda service centre. I'm so glad I did! My car is still under warranty so Gardiner did a log book service, and were very quick and efficient. They also went to a lot of trouble to stay on the phone line to the fleet company to get an authorisation number. I was very impressed with their customer service and communication and will certainly take my car back for further services from now on.

Approximate cost: $under $200

"Gardiner Automotive" is a thorough local mechanic that repairs all kinds of vehicles. They do so in a timely manner and at reasonable prices. They offer a seniors discount and are VACC accredited. There are a few mechanics in the local area, but this one is my one of choice as the service they offer is very down-to-earth, but still of great quality.
