I was travelling through Victoria and my van needed a service. Relatively short term I was able to get an appointment and Arel was very friendly and professional so I had an excellent experience!

I’m so glad I chose ABS Auto South Melbourne for my brake service! Arel was a lifesaver. He not only identified the problem with my brakes but also explained everything clearly and provided honest recommendations. The work was done quickly and efficiently, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my braking performance. If you’re looking for a mechanic who knows their stuff and cares about their customers, don’t look anywhere else! Ask for a free 5 point car health check, thank me later!

The owner is super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I have recommended to friends and family without any complaints. Access to spare parts is quick and reasonably priced for fast turnaround.

Just got a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) done at ABS Auto South Melbourne. Unfortunately, they didn’t inform me of the price beforehand and ended up charging me $330 for the RWC. My car is almost new, a Tesla, and there were no issues at all, making the inspection relatively straightforward. I was expecting a standard service to cost around $200. I’m not sure if this is the going rate across Melbourne now, so do check the price before even for a simple job.

I cannot praise ABS South Melbourne Mechanical Workshop enough! From start to finish, my experience with them was exceptional. The professionalism and expertise demonstrated by Arel truly sets them apart.The quality of work performed on my car exceeded my expectations. Not only did they address the initial problem efficiently, but they also conducted a thorough inspection, identifying and fixing other potential issues before they became major problems.Additionally, the turnaround time was impressive. I was back on the road in no time, confident that my vehicle had been serviced to the highest standard.Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend ABS South Melbourne to anyone in need of automotive services. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer satisfaction make them the go-to choice for all my automotive needs.

Prompt, amazing, helpful, knowledgeable, they do not over charge you. I’m single, I’m young and a girl, so it’s hard attending mechanical companies sometimes alone. This place made me feel really comfortable and got the job done without confusing me lol.A+ would recommend.Also Arel is the best!

I had an amazing experience recently with Arel at ABS South Melbourne. Arel was was so kind, patient, positive and full of excellent knowledge. He did me a huge favour and helped me very last minute to do a roadworthy on my car the day before I was getting it registered. I’m so grateful and will not be going anywhere else for my vehicle’s needs! Thank you Arel ☺️

On the way home from work. Mounting bolt for my calliper fell off on the Westgate. Limped it to south bank called everywhere and found this joint. Showed my face there and he found me the bolt to suit and said merry Christmas charged me $0Absolute legend without him I’d be towing my car all the way home.

Just had my car break down on the weekend. Arel dropped by y place at 8:30PM after he'd worked all day to check on the problem for me. Absolute legend!Have been having my cars serviced there for over a decade. Trustworthy, friendly and helpful. Can't recommend enough.

I booked in here because there was good reviews and I needed an honest mechanic. ABS did a solid job!after getting a dodgy quote down the road in Port Melbourne, for an eye watering $2600, I was freaking out!Arel at ABS sorted my RWC for a couple of hundred bucks, turns out I just needed some new wipers 🤣You can trust these guys for sure

Wanted to give 5 stars since I first picked up the phone to Arel! Very straight forward in terms of what did and didn't need to be done. Found an additional repair that was required, vehicle was still done on the same day. Talked and showed me through all the work done, very professional - will only be coming back here.

I had a great experience when I took my i30 Hyundai to Arel for repair of a leak. It was the first time being to ABS Auto South Melbourne. Arel is a genuinely honest nice man and I will be returning to him when I need to service my car. He did not over charge and the problem was fixed in good time, as I waited.

This morning I had my car booked in as the Brakes had been making a squeaking noise. Rather than just leave it, Arel had a look at the brake pads, took it for a quick drive and after 20 mins reassured me that it was fine and no work was required. When I asked how much I owed him for his time he smiled and said nothing. HOW very refreshing to have friendly, efficient and honest service. This was the first time for me at ABS Auto but it will not be the last. And I have already recommended Arel to a Neighbour and I will to anyone else I know that needs an honest mechanic.

Best Mechanic I have found in 10 years. Every compliment for Arel is not enough. As a single Woman I found the holy grail, an honest, genuine, decent mechanic, that does a fantastic job and does NOT find a way to add on extras you don’t need!Cannot recommend enough!Thank You!

A friend recommended me ABS and my experience was great.Needed RWC for my car and Arel inspected it. A few things needed to be done. Arel recommended me to someone who could fix it the same day. I went back to Arel for the second inspection and had my RWC certificate in less than 24 hours.He also likes having a chat with people which was nice. He explained everything clearly and I felt welcomed. Definitely recommending to see him if you need anything done on your car.

I recently visited Arel to have a same-day roadworthy completed on two vehicles. From start to finish, Arel was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. He completed the roadworthy in the same day, which was a great relief to me.I would highly recommend Arel to anyone looking for high-quality service. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and truly cares about their customers. If you need a roadworthy completed, or any other car repair services, this is the place to go. Thank you for providing me with a great experience!

Couldn't recommend more highly! Got referred to Arel for a roadworthy check by another mechanic, very glad I did. Rang him in the morning and he told me he could fit me in at the end of the day. He noticed the car was due for a service so offered to change the oil while it was up on the hoist. Friendly, efficient and charged very close to what I would expect from a RWC + service to cost. 10/10, will go back again.

Great service! Not only very approachable and genuine but helped me understand the fault in the car for the long term and fixed all issues that were required same day. Couldn’t have been more helpful, especially being a young woman with little knowledge, price was fair.
