Great workshop service for WOF. Failed on a number of issues. Assisted with putting new types on rim's. Clear details why it failed, trailer that is. Rechecked! Happy to know it now safe on the road. Thank you

Worst experience I've had buying a car, would not recommend to anyone. I purchased a vehicle with the promise of a couple of items to be replaced (stereo which was missing and monsoon shields for the windows, one of which was missing) this took over 6 months from when I purchased which included countless calls to see where things were at. Finally when he got around to doing this the vehicle needed a warrant which I asked them to do (poor judgment on my part) . They failed it on a long list of things that obviously hadn't just occurred in the last 6 months! Ended up costing close to $800 to get the WOF, and all he could say when it was disputed is that he's given a discount on the parts. This is the kind of place that gives small car yards and workshops a bad name.

Thank you for all the complimentary and the odd not so complimentary reviews as it helps us to learn and provide a better service for you. Id like to clarify the two negative reviews below. A) Yes I did hire a sub-contractor to complete mechanical work in my workshop, on an as and when needed bases. This sub-contractors is no longer utilized by Cactus Cars. However if he chose to take on work for someone else on the weekend at his home around the time he sub-contracted to me and others and the job didnβt go to plan. This would be his business and has nothing to do with me as he wasnβt contracted by Cactus Cars to complete this job. and to be clear Tahlia, your vehicle has never been to by business. B) Your van was towed into us (Not starting) We spent about Β½ checking your van and identified the plug leads were not transferring enough power to the spark plugs. You were given a price and agreed to have them replaced. You then asked if this would guarantee to fix it and were told βhopefullyβ this will be the only issue but couldnβt guarantee it. The plug leads were supplied & changed. The van spun over fast but still wouldnβt fire up. A local auto sparky was called in and was unable to identify any issues The customer was asked if they would like us to investigate further and we were told they were not prepared to pay us to investigate further. The customer was charged for the new plug leads, auto sparkys & our time. The customer then asked if a tow start would work and I advised not to as we didnβt know what the problem is. Later that day the customer decided to try and tow start the van, something broke and the engine seized . To be clear β’ We have no control over what a sub-contractor does when heβs not sub-contracting to us. β’ If a customer chooses not to take our advice and something goes wrong. We canβt be held responsible.
