I called Mel and she was able to come by within 15 mins to check out my car. Within the hour, Mel had diagnosed the issue and was able to replace the spark plugs as she had a set on hand. I will be using her services again! She was great. Thanks Mel!

I was recommended Mel from a friend, and the service was amazing! It’s so convenient having a mechanic come to you so you don’t have to worry about dropping your vehicle off to a garage. Mel also took the time to talk me through anything she had to fix on my car, I would definitely be recommending her to more people! My car is now running so much better! Thanks heaps Mel your the best!

Had them out for a scheduled service on my 2015 CX3. To my horror they charged me $1100 that was the discounted price for cash. She took 10 minutes on the car. I was vulnerable and intimidated by melissa so I paid. Since then I get my car serviced by a mobile mechanic who does my scheduled servicing for $310 Max. I was giving them a go to support women in this role but never again. I'm disappointed and for people using them in the future, check the prices and ask questions. I posted the price they charged me on a Facebook group of mechanics and they were mortified. I got ripped off in the most vulnerable time of my life.Very sad.

Couldn't fix the problem despite spending $770 on spark plugs and filters despite saying it was going to fix it 100%. She also postponed the second visit multiple times after taking the money. Don't recommend the service.

My car overheated on the Thursday before the long weekend.In a bit of a panic I googled "Mobile Mechanics Marrickville" and found Mel. I now strongly believe that MMMM is a sign of Goodluck.I usually drive all the way to Camden for my mechanic and have been ripped off my Lube Mobile before too. I haven't had the best experience with "the local Subaru Experts" either.Anyway, I called Mel and told her the goss. She was incredibly informative and helpful without the classic condescending gate-keepy tone from the blokes I've dealt with in the past.NRMA was confident when they said I just needed a new hose but Mel predicted before even seeing the car it might need a new radiator.Mel was honest, informative, efficient and was good for a laugh. She went above and beyond in what I needed done and I am very happy.Hands down, she's earnt herself a new regular.

Mel is the most honest and reliable mechanic. Wouldn't trust anyone else with my corolla. As a female I've been ripped off many times with previous vehicles, never have I felt that way with Mel. She always gives me understandable and reputable advice. She's the best. See you Wednesday! Thank you!

I can’t thank Mel enough for getting me and my car out of a tough spot last week!She went above and beyond to come and see me, source the part that needed replacing and then came back the next day to replace it and get me back on the road asap.Mel is professional, kind, reliable and trustworthy! If you call TLC, you are always going to be in good hands! 🙏🏻Ain’t no scrubs here, only legends!

Mel came around for a mechanical inspection (blue slip) and I have to say, it couldn't have been an easier, more convenient or informative experience. Not only that, but she got me a great deal on new tyres! Look no further, you've found your forever auto mechanic in TLC Mobile Autocare.

Mel did a fantastic job fixing an urgent issue, and servicing my car today. She was honest and transparent about what was needed and why. Something you don't often feel you get when you drop your car off.It was so convenient having her come to our home to do the work which allowed me to continue on with my day without disruption. I definitely recommend Mel for any mechanical work you need.

Can’t say thanks enough excellent service Melissa provided today. Very friendly, patience to explain car problems and nice person to talk your car problems.

Great repairs and excellent customer service! My coolant tank broke and I urgently need my vehicle on a Friday. I would need to wait until Monday if I leave it in a store. I was lucky that Melissa is free at that time, she came within 10 minutes and spent another 10 minutes getting the job done. Excellent! And she gave me some honest suggestions and tips. Will definitely call her for my car service next time.

Mel is fantastic! Very reasonably priced and super efficient. She explained everything to me and exactly what it needed. My car is running like a dream and I will absolutely be back.

Couldn't recommend Mel enough. She fit me in at late notice, gave me other options and advice over the phone giving me the chance to save a bit of money on a callout if possible. Diagnosed my issue super quickly, fixed up my car beautifully and passed on some of her knowledge to me while she was at it.Usually a horrible experience as a femme person trying to find a mechanic who isn't dismissive, condescending or looking to take advantage of my lack of knowledge. Really lovely to find someone who not only doesn't make you feel like an idiot but also leaves you knowing a lot more than you did before.I'll definitely be calling Mel for any future car problems!

I had an overheating issue with my car. I booked in Thursday night and Mel was able to book me in Friday arvo at the end of her day! She did a quick inspection and has the quality tools to diagnose the issue quickly. She ordered the parts that needed to be repaired and booked me in a few days later and quoted me an affordable and fair price! She knows what she’s doing and is very highly skilled at what she does. She also taught me a few things about cars and also changed my wipers when she noticed they were old. Also just a friendly person! I was able to drive my car back home and it felt so smooth and safe! I would recommend booking in with TLC if you’re looking for an honest and quality mechanic!

Had the greatest experience with TLC. Melissa was so professional, flexible & honest. Her assessment & diagnostic skills saved us a lot of time & money. She took a lot of care to find out what the issues were & worked hard to fix everything in a timely manner.Melissa even took the time to do a follow up check-in, to see how the car was going!Would not hesitate at all, to recommend TLC Mobile Auto care to anyone who needs a skilled, friendly, professional mechanic.

I have been using TLC for all my services since Jan 2020. Mel is always professional, realistic, and honest about what servicing my car needs. She is very personable and we always have a little catch up at the beginning of our appts. I highly recommend using TLC for your car needs.

I needed a 6 month service and called TLC. Mel had an opening and was able to service my car that afternoon. She was honest, friendly, and was able to solely focus on my car. Service took approx and hour in my apartment garage. I am very happy with the service and convenience! Will use again.

Needed a service done on a 2nd hand car I just bought, Mel was able to organise a very convenient time for swinging by. She performed a careful and efficient service of the car all while talking me through why certain parts were important for keeping the car running healthy in a way that was informative, approachable and best of all not condescending at all! Walked away with a well priced service and feeling like I understand way more about cars now. Would definitely recommend, especially to anyone who has been confused into paying for extras they don't need by a mechanic!

Only had the pleasure of speaking to Mel as unfortunately what I needed was out of scope for mobile services. Nonetheless she took the time to have a chat and discuss possibilities. Went above and beyond in helping to recommend someone who might be able to help.

So relieved to of finally found a mechanic that offers quality, honest and fairly priced work. I have mega trust issues with mechanics and like a lot of women get ripped off by mechanics. Mel explained everything in ways I could understand and came to me!!! Can’t fault her!

Rang Ms TLC & she said it didn’t sound like a job she’d be best for, so she suggested two local mechanics she trusts who would be better.Thanks

I'm so lucky to have found Mel, she was able to help me in a bit of an emergency and I've never had a more helpful and genuine mechanic. She's onto it and makes things clear, shows you what's wrong and doesn't beat around the bush trying to rip you off. As someone who has been ripped off by mechanics their whole life, she's a diamond in the rough!

Had an excellent experience w/ Mel at TLC who was easily able to identify the source of a frightening engine noise (broken fan belt) and then replace the belt only a few days later after ordering it in for me. She explained things clearly and simply as I know nothing about cars, and was friendly and reassuring with a wealth of knowledge and a sense of humour.As someone who is quite young and doesn’t know anything about cars, i’ve been nervous about mechanics in the past taking advantage of me, but I am now reassured that the team at TLC will be the way to go 🙂
