Rarely do you find an completely honest mechanic that is friendly and knowledgeable. Paul will pour over every detail of your car, finding things that no other will. When he finds issues he will tell you if they're worth fixing and what he recommends. He will not try and up-sell you on anything to make a profit, only when it will truly benefit your car. I take my RenaultSport Megane R26 there (I live about 50mins away on the other side of Sydney) and Paul is the only person I would trust with it. He knows everything there is to know about Renault's but don't think for a second that it means he isn't very skilled and knowledgeable about almost anything you bring him. HIGHLY recommended for anyone!

I wouldn’t recommend coming here. $1600 in repairs later, my Peugeot still has a fault that was apparently ‘fixed.’ Paul would quote a price and it’ll always be higher in the end. He would spend more time chatting over the phone telling you what new problems your car has and writing out the invoice than repairing your car. The invoice for my car was 10 pages long - handwritten. I left the service and my car still had a transmission fault, the air con wasn’t working and a lightbulb that wasn’t even working wasn’t even changed.

April 2021. Had cam belt, water pump and related bits & pieces, gearbox oil changed on my 2012 Clio 200. I highly recommend Paul and his knowledge & workmanship on Renault's. He even did a few additional service things that needed attention which I didn't consider. He has a lot of history and experience with racing, so definitely have a chat and utilise his services if you need to keep your Renault RS in top shape.

I simply will not trust anyone but Paul with the TrophyRS. He's a no BS guy, and performs his work in the most simplistic matter-of-fact manner, which any true car guy sincerely appreciates. I've been around cars for a very long time and you don't often find mechanics like Paul. When you do, you know you have struck gold.

After another mechanic did some damage to my Renault Clio they sent to AP Automotive to get fixed. Now I only send my car to Paul and he shows me everything he does and explains it simply. As a person who knows nothing about cars, he has been a blessing.

I cannot recommend Paul highly enough. Have been taking my Clio 182 to him for the last few years, I would not trust it to anyone else. He knows these cars inside out and is such a nice and honest person to deal with.

Paul is fantastic. Honest, fastidious workmanship, his knowledge is second to none. Yeah, he might not suffer fools but the only person I will let work on my Pug. Not cheap, but you are paying for a French car expert.

Paul at AP Automotive is simply the best Mechanic, his attention to detail and knowledge on Renaults are legendary! I have been going to Paul for over 10 years and will continue to do so for many more years!

I had my Renault serviced here recently and the experience was terrific! Paul is an expert and did a very thorough job, taking the time to talk me through everything in detail. Highly recommended!

Boggles my mind to hear such great reviews of Paul. Terrible workmanship and shocking customer service skills to boot. If you love an abusive experience he's your guy. Keep well away..

There is no better that I know of. Paul is old school. Unbelievably experienced and knowledgeable. Has looked after my 182, 197 and RS250. Top quality service.

Fantastic service and attention to detail. Very open and honest about all the work done with a clear passion and pride for French cars. Couldn't ask for more.

Top notch and honest. Was able to fix a problem a couple of French car specialists were not able to. He is a Macquarie St specialist of French cars.

Great service - picks up on things the dealer service never did. Not the cheapest service but given the hours spent on the car it’s good value.

Paul is the real deal. Have taken my Clio Sport 172 for the last few years and he has corrected some Renault dealership mechanics stuff ups.

Best place to take your special French car. You will not get a more attentive and considered approach to your car anywhere else.

Ignores your instructions, fixes 'problems' without asking then tries to charge you for it. Be careful.

French car specialist who really knows his stuff. Car always drives amazingly well after a service.

Paul really knows his stuff when it comes to the French go-fast machines!

If you have a french car, get it serviced by Paul. True professional

One of the best and most knowledgeable people on Renaults

Would not trust anyone else with my car.
