  • Emanuel Arends

I can't commend Vulture Street Service Centre enough! Last week, my wife's car faced an unexpected issue, and we were in a bit of a bind. Despite our last-minute request, the team at Vulture Street accommodated us without hesitation. Their professionalism, transparency, and quick turnaround time were truly impressive. By the end of the day, my wife's car was back on the road, running smoother than ever. The quality of service, paired with their customer-first approach, makes this centre a standout. For anyone in need of reliable and efficient car services, look no further than Vulture Street Service Centre. Outstanding job, team!

  • Ainsley Perry

I highly recommend James! He is nothing but professional, friendly, and greatly priced. If there is ever anything additional that may need to be done on a service, he will always call you first to check if you're happy with this first. You will never experience unexpected charges once the service is done. After my most recent service he suggested I drive the car for a few days after the service was complete, as we thought there was issues with the transmission. He just wanted us to check there was no issues with the car afterwards before he charged us. He has a heart of gold!! I will not be going anywhere else in Brisbane!

  • CROSS TRAINING ADVENTURE

Rear wheel bearing replacement. James was much cheaper than all other quotes, and all the rave reviews indicated he's a very honest mechanic doing good work. He even quickly looked over my car and mentioned a few things that might need attention in the future. Much appreciated! He is busy and a one-man show though, it took quite a few phone calls to finally establish the quote and get it booked in because he's so busy and doesn't have anyone at the front desk. But definitely worth it in the end!

  • Jud Campbell

Started taking my car to James in 98’ cause I lived around the corner. I used to bring him a coffee cause it would be early morning when I finished shift work. He always went above and beyond and often never charged me cause I was an impoverished musician. I’m glad I can now pay him properly but he is always honest and fair priced. He has helped me source and purchase multiple reliable vehciles over the years for amazing prices. A good mechanic and a great person.

  • John Young

James is as great as all the other reviews state, he's a hard working and honest guy that will always offer you a fair price. As a backpacker I felt very safe and confident he was looking out for what was best for my interests rather than just the money like alot of other places. Went above and beyond and went out of his way to provide a great service. Would give this guy 6 stars if I could! Best mechanic I've been to.

  • Aaron Hill

If you want a friendly, reliable machanic go to this guy! super impressed. After using many mechanics both in UK and Australia i have to say i was so happy with his work. by far one of the best mechanics i have ever used. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and above all does the work to a high standard for a very reasonable price. would 100% recommend him and if i resided in Brisbane he would be my go to guy.

  • Ian Marozas

Stop your search for other mechanics right now - this is the one. I rarely post reviews but I had such a positive experience here that I felt that I must. James performed quality work on my car and did so very quickly. These guys are a rare breed of honest mechanics and they aren't going to try to sell you anything extra or rip you off. I cannot recommend them enough.

  • Jack Stevens

No good, go elsewhere. Booked for a service and was asked what he should look for. Should have known something was up when afterwards he only ran me through information regarding those issues. Worse, he didn't even do a good job of that as after I got the all clear from him, 500km later another mechanic found a fault after all. Shambles, don't bother

  • Alex Bryant

James is a legend! He took my car in on extreme late notice friday evening after it needed towing from being parked at the airport for 3 weeks. By Saturday afternoon James had my car back on the road. James communicated everything he was doing and was also very well priced. Can't thank him enough and would highly recommend to anyone!

  • Kishan Panchal

Mr. James is the most humorous, straightforward and genuine individual I've ever come across. His passion for his work truly distinguishes him from the conventional service agencies. Go here just once and you cannot possibly go anywhere else. I'm not surprised that he has a 5 star review rating. He is truly an exception.

  • Disha Panchal

Not only best mechanic. James is the best person in the world. Me and my husband (Sam) came from India 4 years ago and never had this sort of experience or had never seen this sort of honest person in my whole life. WE CANT THANKS ENOUGH THROUGH THIS MESSAGE BUT JAMES YOU ARE THE HERO TO ME. THANK YOU BROTHER. From- Sam

  • Connor

After seeing good reviews about this mechanic I decided to ring up and ask advice about the fault with my car . All I got was a unprofessional response, he was rude over the phone and told me he would ring back with a quote which he never did. I would not recommend wasting your time going here !

  • Marcos Fontana

We are two backpackers travelling around Australia with our Toyota Camry from 1998. So you bet we've been to many mechanics before. But James is the best we've ever been to! If you are in Brisbane definitely go here. He goes straight to the point and for a fair value! Totally recommend it!!

  • Nathaniel Chandra

Great car service at an excellent price. Call James a few days before, drop the car off early in the morning and he's quick to get it back to you. Most honest mechanic I've ever met! Sad to hear that people sometimes don't pay this man after he's done the work. People, pay this man!

  • Ben Hutchins

The best car service experience I've had. James is a great guy who goes the extra mile to explain everything and provide you honest answers to all your questions. Great value and great customer service. I would recommend Vulture Street Service Centre to anyone.

  • Allie M

Thanks for a well priced service with good outcomes too. My car feels better to drive than it has done for years. You also gave me answers to questions that all the other mechanics I have asked have not been able to answer. We will most definitely be returning.

  • Hang Le

This was my first time getting my car serviced here and the customer service, value and overall knowledge provided to me was fantastic!! I will be recommending to all my friends and family and will be a returning customer for all my car needs! Thank you!!

  • Jono Lucerne

Just moved to Brisbane and needed urgent help right before Christmas, James did the best service went beyond my expectations on top of that such a great price I nearly cried! Won’t go anywhere else and will bring my car again for a service soon.

  • Hugh Cox

Great mechanic. I had a few issues with my car when I first arrived in Brisbane, I asked around for a mechanic and Vulture Street came up lots of times. Does not waste time and finds the problem fast. Thank you for everything. Mazda Tribute

  • Ibrar RH

Honestly a great bloke who seems to care more about providing great mechanical and customer service instead of more money. Went there without any heads up to replace my brake pads on Easter Saturday which would’ve been harder for him to

  • Brodie Dickerson

This guy lives up to his name, easy going, able to have a joke! Did great work on my car, was a general service, but it's now purring like a leopard. Was able to get my car up and running for a roadworthy certificate. Would recommend.
