If you own a European car, you'll understand the level of quality that goes into designing and building these vehicles. For smooth driving, speed, style and comfort, they're undeniably a joy to experience. Servicing these premium vehicles, though, requires specialist knowledge, and it can be hard to find a suitably qualified European car mechanic outside of your dealership.
When it comes to the safety of your vehicle, Great Lakes Auto Centre is known for going that extra mile. That's why our workshop uses SafeTStop, a powerful tool that gives us a full diagnostic on brakes, suspension and many possible hazards, getting you back on the road with peace of mind. SafeTStop is a plate brake tester system that's able to test brakes, wheel alignment and suspension in less than a minute.

I’m a mobile poly tank repairer
Driving all over the country side repairing plastic rain water tanks for customers and was heading to Foster to do some poly tank repairs when my Ford Ranger lost power and went into limp mode and an orange dash light appeared on the dashboard so I dropped into
Great Lakes Auto Centre late Friday afternoon around 5pm to see if they could help and to my amazement one of there guys straight away came out to diagnose the issues and within 15mins found the issues being a faulty EGC temperature sensor and a glow-plug not working and to my amazement they also found

My clutch went on the Pacific Highway yesterday. Got it towed to Bosch CS via NRMA roadside.
As a holiday-maker I was at the mercy of Bosch and half expected a huge bill. Turns out it was a leaking clutch fluid hose that Bosch repaired for a very reasonable price the next day.
Very professional mechanic. Thank you, Bosch CS🤙

I have just moved up from Sydney (5 months) and fortunately found the best auto centre you could wish for. The staff are amazing - friendly, professional and they really care for you and your car. I have had electrical equipment installed in my caravan and my car has been excellently serviced and repaired ( radiator, thermostat and hoses). James and his staff communicate the problem and the means to fix it so simply that even I can understand it. Although extremely busy, they go out of their way to make you feel as though you are their most important customer. Having little knowledge of the workings

Highly recommend Chad, James & the team from Bosch Service/Great Lakes Auto Centre. We’ve used their services on a number of our vehicles & have found them to be extremely knowledgeable, efficient, professional & customer service orientated. They diagnosed & solved issues on one of our vehicles that others were unable to do so. They go above & beyond to ensure that your informed & understand the process involved. They provide exceptional 5 star service whilst maintaining realistic prices.
