I took my car there for a service - and asked that they took a look at the brakes. They called to say I needed new front and back discs and pads, and a brake fluid flush, as well as new tyres. I asked for a quote, and that they include the part numbers as the verbal price was $3,700 for all of the above (not including the tyres). I was told they couldn’t provide part numbers but I insisted, and they eventually did so. The quote they gave me and tried to pressure me into accepting was more expensive than the Porsche Centre around the corner. I declined to go ahead, but when I picked up my car they had not filled in the log book with the brake fluid flush. Subsequently, I noticed a hub cap missing on the front wheel - clearly had come loose or not been refitted after they bled the brakes. When I asked about this they said they had bled them without taking the wheels off! This is hard to believe as the calipers on this car (Cayenne GTS) are pretty big and have one bleeder at the front and one at the back - so not easy to reach. Even if this is true, they somehow made a full assessment of the brakes without removing the wheels….dodgy or not….you decide. TLDR - not very professional at all and seemingly not trustworthy either - would not recommend and won’t use them again Also see the response below! Trying to blame me and fitting the ‘facts’ so they appear to have done nothing wrong. Have a close look at their reviews below - a number of them are clearly fake and use the exact same picture. It’s left them with 4.9 stars but their genuine review rating would be far lower. Any business that operates this way, and can’t accept feedback is not somewhere you’d want to take your vehicle as far as I’m concerned.

  • Timmy Hexham

So I have an A3 Audi. I needed a diagnostic as my car had some issues. After seeing positive reviews I thought I’d give them my business. When I picked the car up and paid I left but noticed a big series of scratches on my steering wheel which was not there before. It also looked different (aged) it was clear it was not my steering wheel at all. It looked like it had been swapped with an old, dirty one. I called them up and returned the car straight away. My car is kept spotless and in great condition so I knew something was not right. I was told that that they would escalate this and get back to me. As I was leaving, I asked if my service book (which I checked the morning of the service) had been updated and was just told it should have been. However, once I was home I found that the book was not there and was missing. I went back the next morning and asked for it and was told that again it would be escalated - not “we haven’t found it” or “we are still looking for it” or anything regarding an attempt to find it. I belong to an Audi club and have told all the associates there of my experience. I’m still waiting to hear from the GM which I have been promised would be today. However no follow up. On my experience so far, I’d give this business a miss. My experience has been poor. One day passed getting my car back, the faults are still displaying. I’ve since rebooked my car into the Audi dealership for a complete overhaul and inspection.

  • John Friend

I have a BMW 650i which needed a new water pump. Marcus was very personable in his approach and clearly expressed what the solution would be, the costs involved and the time it would take. I rang Marcus later in the morning as I had forgot the damaged stone guard I wanted him to look at and also mentioned I felt like the car was a bit sluggish when accelerating. Marcus quickly priced the replacement part for stone guard and offered an alternative solution and he also did some work in relation to carbon build up to assist in the issue with acceleration - at no additional cost. Could not be happier with the outcome and will be bringing all family vehicles to Le Mans from now on.

  • Kristy Blandford

I've previously used LeMans at Newstead with no issues whatsoever, always friendly staff and great prices. Sad to say this is not the case anymore. Absolute rip off merchants! $1600 for a service and 2 standard tyres. Your website clearly states that you offer Afterpay as a payment method with no interest and no extra fee's. When given the quoted price over the phone, the amount jumped almost and extra $150 when I mentioned Afterpay. Your manager tried to pass this off as normal, which it is absolutely not and I will be reporting this to Afterpay. Definitely won't be returning to LeMan and or recommending you to friends who have moved to the area.

  • Daniel

First time getting my 2013 BMW M5 serviced outside of a BMW dealership, as this was a "major service" - oil, spark plugs, oil filter, air filter, microfilter. Plus my included service plan finished some time ago. I chose Le Mans based on the good reviews it had received (versus other independents in the area). Staff are friendly and knowledgable and service was done efficiently. Invoice was well itemised. Highly recommended if you're looking for a trustworthy independent mechanic and are in two minds whether you really need to go to the dealership or choose an independent. (and saved $1,000 over the two dealership quotes)

  • Mark Holmes

These guys have the best customer service I've ever experienced in a mechanic. I took my Audi Q3 there for its first service after completing the 5 years servicing included from Audi. I was far more impressed with LeMans than the dealer, and they are obviously far more cost effective as well! You know when you have a service booked in and want to discuss a few niggles with the car but the mechanic completely ignores you? These guys are the complete opposite. They genuinely care about getting to the bottom of any small (or big) issues and will give you great advice afterwards. Will definitely be back.

  • Romain Gambetta

Le Mans has been warmly recommended by a friend and I was really keen to get them to fix my car.... When I called the Newstead branch, they told they couldn't help me and that the Bullimba branch would be able to do the work. The Bullimba branch then told me they couldn't do it and sent me to the Woolloongabba one... which I called and told me they couldn't do it and sent me to a fourth one. At that stage I just gave up because clearly Le Mans doesn't want the job. SO DISAPPOINTING. Guess I'll give my money to someone else.

  • Mickayla Liesenberg

I 1000% recommend them, they were efficient and helpful every step of the way. I have a second-hand Hyundai Getz, and she was returned to me running as smoothly as the day I got her. The pricing is HONEST, and you get your money's worth. The service accessories at the end like polishing my tyres (without even requesting) were a beautiful touch guys. You won't find mechanics like this anymore. Thank you guys so much I will be coming back again.

  • Darryl Hughes

I’ve just had the 150K service on my 2014 BMW 520d GT at Le Mans Motors Newstead and I couldn’t be happier. The guys have done a good job with the full service, and were professional enough to get my approval for anything above and beyond the general service. They also offered a referral recommendation for an item that did not fall under their level of expertise. You really couldn’t ask for anything more.

  • David Bollinger

Shocking mechanic that looks to cash grab! Mechanics here are untrustworthy and display shocking customer service. They seek out small problems and capatalise by stinging their clients for issues that don’t affect cars performance or longevity. Could not believe how expensive the installation fees on parts were. Honestly disgusted by their whole operation. Definitely would not recommend.

  • phillip colquitt

Well located in Newstead to give Austral the competition they need. Chris fixed the gear selector linkage on my Transporter van pretty fast, after I was towed. Mick and Dave took on my struts replacement. They fixed my stuck passenger door which others said they couldn't. It's a clean and well lit workshop. Makes me wish I had a hoist too. Hope they have a good year in 2021.

  • Leonie Pickering

I was looking for someone to service my mini cooper as I was not satisfied with my previous mechanics. These guys know their stuff. Michael was great, rang me to let me know what was wrong, how much, was always accommodating & explained things so I could understand. I would not hesitate to recommend as your mechanic. You won't be disappointed.

  • Narelle Simmons

First time customer and very happy with Le Mans. The customer service was impeccable with manager contacting me to check repairs needed with cost before proceeding. A pleasure to deal with and will definitely be returning for my next service. Thank you Marcus and Chris very impressed with your service.

  • No Name

Beware! This location is under a new manager, also called Mike. He is nothing like the old Mike (who appears to be responsible for most of the positive reviews). The new Mike is incompetent, insulting, and a liar. He pays no attention to detail. He will take this place down with the way he runs it!

  • james wedlake

Took my golf GTI in for a complete check over. They were very friendly and gave a quote before proceeding with a few things that needed doing. I needed new front tyres and they organised all of that for me including a great wheel alignment that is spot on. Would definetly recommend

  • SP7642

Went in after many years of neglect on my old Falcon. Le Mans had it all fixed up by the same afternoon I dropped it in at. All issues I thought would be big problems were easily (and quite cheaply!) solved. Will be making Le Mans my regular maintenance provider from this point on.

  • Rehan Lowmass

A huge thanks to Chris and the team at Le Mans Newstead. I had a 2014 VW Golf DSG issue that was particularly tricky to diagnose and resolve prior to visiting. Could not recommend them more, the team has a level of professionalism and excellence that is rare to see these days.

  • Elicia Simon

Very happy with the work performed on my Audi Q3.They thoroughly explained all work that was complete and work the will need to be completed in future. The garage is well managed, with customer satisfaction being a big priority. Was a great experience and I highly recommend!

  • rohan rainbow

Marcus Newton and his team are awesome. Had a disastrous experience with a shonk getting the AC fixed in our Mazda. Took it to Le Mans and the team, fixed it straight away no problems. So professional, courteous and have a great customer service focus. Couldn't be happier.

  • Anthony Steele

I had my VW Golf GTI Performance serviced here once again. Everything was explained and at a reasonable cost. My car has never run as good as it does now. They really know what it takes to get the best out of your car. Highly recommended. Will definitely come back again.

  • Elle Elle

Been a regular at Le Mans Newstead for a few years now and the attention to detail has always been superb. David and Michael are upfront, detailed and patient in explaining what they’re doing and why. Trustworthy and responsible - your car will be in good hands!

  • Adam Hughes

Kindly fitted us in for a simple gasket replacement. On the steep side price-wise and a three-day wait for parts. Call centre staff particularly inept. Overall good enough in a pinch, but without time as a factor I’ll stick with my normal mechanic.

  • Anonymous

Great experience with this business. Much cheaper than others quoted for a car service (Mazda) and easily fixed a tyre leak/hole. Explained services being provided, genuine and professional. Will be returning for my next car service. Thank you!

  • Shane Loughnane

Really happy with the service provided at this garage, booked it in for timing belt change and water pump, and service, really good price for timing belt and water pump change, rang me before doing any extra work with service. I’ll be back

  • ama fitz

Thank you SO much guys. You squeezed us in, at short notice, not once but twice in the same week. The work was completed without fuss and at a great price. You have no idea how much you saved the day. Thank you again, you are awesome.
