I had a cooling system flush on my car and the mechanic didn’t pick up that the water pump needed replacing, i feel as though I’ve been ripped off by Sandgate Auto Electrics & Air Conditioning, as i wasn’t told i needed a new water pump, and they just went ahead with the coolant flush, it’s something that a 1st year Mechanic would have picked up! Extremely dissatisfied!

What can I say, no job too big, no job too small for these fellas? Don't waste time stuffing around with something you think you know all about. If you've got electrical issues save yourself some time and money, give these blokes a go, you won't be disappointed. Once again thanks for helping me out. Brad
