Reviews of Barry Clarke Automotive Ltd

A. B.

Highly recommend these guys! My car suddenly broke down and they organized a tow truck, found the problem right away, and then quickly fixed the issue for a reasonable price. I then took my car back to them after a failed WoF and again they sorted out the problem quickly and efficiently. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly too. Thanks heaps

A. K.

Best car mechanics in Auckland *****. Highly professional, always fix perfectly any issue, quick, honest, reliable and fair Always recommend to all my friends and family. The whole team is extremely professional and friendly, the lady who does the administration part is awesome kind. Have been a customer for more than 3 years and never will change my car mechanic. Thank you very much for always fixing all perfectly.

O. S.

Great team to deal with. Service was quick and thorough. Pricing was on point. Staff are very polite and accommodating when we couldn’t pick our car up on the day of the service. A+++

D. B.

Service was fantastic and super quick. Gave me all of my options before getting to work and price was very reasonable. Will be recommending to friends and family

K. B.

Easy to book. Courtesy car was very handy. Really happy with the work they did and at a fair cost. Would definitely recommend.

P. L.

The team is always so friendly and professional. Honest, reliable and top-notch service and expertise. I first took my car there on a friend’s recommendation. The AA guy thought I needed a new fuel pump and I was prepared to spend up large. I was told I didn’t need one, which was wonderful honesty. Highly recommended.

A. W.

Trust worthy mechanic that won't take you for ride. I have had several bad experiences in the past with mechanics quotes vastly ranging from $450 to $1900. One even halved his quote once I started asking what work was involved. There's none of that BS with Barry Clarke which is refreshing.

E. K.

The team at Barry Clarke Automotive are timely, professional, and extremely helpful. I’ve only been in twice so far (once for repairs and once for a WOF) but have been very happy with the level of service both times. I even asked for some advice regarding purchasing a new car (totally clueless!!) and was taken through my best options, then reassured that I could come back in anytime for a chat, should I have any more questions/concerns. The work was completed quickly, the prices are very reasonable, especially for Auckland, and I will continue to come here for all my car needs in the future.

z. k.

I booked a service through my autoshop and had selected this workshop to carry out a full service on my late model Mercedes as my original euro workshop was fully booked for a while. I was quite skeptical at first; taking my car into a new unfamiliar workshop, but upon seeing the workshop, the current cars being worked on, and being greeted by a lovely lady at the counter, I felt immediately as ease. Car was serviced on time and the lady reminded of the things that needed to be done in the next applicable service, which to me is a great attitude . I recommend this place.

P. B.

Always happy with the work and service at Barry Clarke. My jeep needed a WOF and my husband took it to a different mechanic, it failed on ball joints and also because of a dash warning light. Comparing the two quotes not only was Barry Clarke's a lot less but the parts used were far superior. The dash 'fault' was only because the tyres needed air which he did at no charge. 100% Recommended.

w. h.

Fair price. Fast service. Open on Saturday. 😂I visited many stores, all closed. Luckily they are open.

Professional, great and friendly staff! Definitely recommend coming here for your car!

L. R.

Very responsive and adaptable customer service where you are able to come in on late notice and get a job done. The team are very friendly and have great communication, also pricing seems to be very fair as well! I would recommend if you are looking for a mechanic in the Grey Lynn/central area! A pre-purchase vehicle inspection is only $90 compared to most places which would be around $150-200.

Took my car in for new brake pads after it was highlighted on my wof that they were low. Speedy service, done within a couple of hours, friendly staff.. would recommend.

S. A.

Easy to work with. Did a good job. Great communication. Friendly. Prompt.

T. W.

Highly recommend Barry Clarke Automotive. They are fast reliable friendly and very accommodating. I trust the work they do in my car to keep me safe and my car in top shape. Staff are brilliant also.

C. D. M.

Darren and the guys at Barry Clarke Automotive were very professional, they were fast and liaised with my warranty company making it less stressful for me. On a separate occasion they were very determined to find the actual reason behind my check engine light, their knowledge of the system found a quick and acceptable fix. Based on their professionalism and knowledge, I now take all my cars to them for any mechanical service or repairs.

A. H.

Barry Clarke Automotive and their team have always taken great care of me and my vehicle, they’re extremely professional and passionate about what they do. I found them in 2017 and was very impressed with the quality experience and work I had done on my car, I have been going back ever since! Highly recommended!

P. W.

Barry Clark automotive in Auckland central has been my choice for auto repair for many years. Their work is reliable, effective, high quality work that is reasonably in cost, timely and they do what they say they are going to do. The reception is attentive, amiable and clear. The mechanics are really nice people who are willing to go the extra mile to take care of my car. I could ask for nothing more which is why I have returned so many times and will continue to do so. Thanks Barry Clark Automotive!!!

N. G.

Darryn was amazing. He went above and beyond to get the electrical connection that had disabled my car. He not only did it quickly he also got the part from a third party that gave me a great saving. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

C. B.

Really friendly, helpful service. Went the extra mile to sort out an issue so I could use my vehicle to get away for Xmas!

K. S.

Just good service in general and trustworthy. Have been going here for three years now and wouldnt go anywhere else.

I had a serious overheating problem with my Holden & they found the cause & efficiently fixed the issue. Our family have been using Barry Clarke Motors for many years & we all find them to be honest & reliable mechanics. We have no hesitation in recommending this business. David

Kind, patient service. Felt like I was in good hands

Have only had good experiences! When a part wasn’t available for my car they wielded a new one together. When my car’s radiator was about to blow and I was near stranded, they happily took her in at short notice and we were off driving the next day. Would definitely recommend these people. Thanks!

J. B.

Easy to deal with, no huge surprises and price seemed very reasonable for what I needed done.

S. R.

A fantastic team to deal with. Honest, reliable advice about any work that needs doing at the time and any work that may potentially need done in the future. The team always call before any work is done so there aren't any nasty surprising bills waiting for you when you pick up your car. Wouldn't take my car anywhere else.

J. B.

Barry Clarke have always been our garage . They really looked after us . Darren the owner , Liz the very accommodating receptionist & all the crew were very helpful. My husband & me always have our cars taken cared for by Barry Clarke Automotive that's peace of mind & great service! We couldn't ask for more! More Power to you Darren . Will see you again for my WOf in December!

m. s.

I’ve had a fantastic experience at Barry Clarke automotive for the last 15 years. Darren and the team are always happy to help me no matter what the issue is and often that same day. I cannot recommend the team at Barry Clarke automotive highly enough. I would not use anyone else

K. v. d. H.

I unexpectedly ran over a basketball which damaged the electrics around my front left wheel. Barry Clarke Automotive first checked the situation out then promptly fitted me in for repair at a very busy time of the year. Excellent service as usual and friendly staff..

S. O.

I've been going to Barry Clarke for approximately 10yrs now. They always advise me of any work that needs doing before they go ahead, I trust them and I never feel like I'm being ripped off or taken advantage of. I highly recommend Darren and his team; especially Liz in the office, amazing!

N. F.

I could not live without Darren & Liz! They are my car lifeline and provide such excellent service, always! They’re an absolute dream team plus their mechanics do an incredible job. Thanks heaps & don’t fret, I’ll be dropping my car in on Thursday for a WOF.

D. D.

Great service from the first telephone call to the payment after the job was done. Friendly, professional and hassle free. I felt very confident dropping the car there and I was not disappointed. I highly recommend them.

Z. W.

Super helpful in booking in at a busy time. Quick fix at a reasonable price

So accommodating as always. Friendly staff.I have been using them for over 15 years and i would never change, even when i moved away from the area. Still go back. Daryn and Liz are awesome to deal with and love my catch up chats with Liz. 1st class business 👌

A. B.

These guys have serviced both our petrol & diesel vehicles, every time we get a vehicle serviced I’m thankful to have found them. Their knowledge, efficiency, service & advice is spot on. A reliable company & well priced too.

N. P.

I've been bringing my car to Barry Clarke Automotive for over 4 years now. I'm very happy with the quality of work, the cost and the professional approach taken every time I come in. I always feel like my car is in good hands with Darren and the rest of the team at Barry Clarke.

S. R.

Walked in for a WOF inspection urgently and picked up the car after an hour. My car flew through WOF inspection without any issues and I was over the moon. Couldn’t ask for a better service really happy and highly recommend.

C. H.

Fantastic genuine service! Amazing communication throughout was hugely appreciated. Highly recommend

M. R.

Such a helpful and friendly group of people. My Honda Fit showed an check engine light suddenly which was a worry. I really needed the car urgently , they took it in at almost no notice and checked it out. Its running fine now. I was very impressed with the service, the plain english, simple explanation and the advice given. I have found my new "regular mechanics". Thank you very much, kind regards, Michelle.

L. T.

These guys are awesome. We've been going to them for the past 4 years since moving to Auckland. They are totally trustworthy and straight and have never overbilled us, which is a change from previous mechanics! They have helped me out several times with small things that need fixing and not charged me - highly recommended :-)

WOF done without prior appointment on the same day. Thank you. Gratis oil check

S. C.

Used Barry Clarke auto for 15 years. They tell me what's wrong and offer options if any are available. Very considerate and reliable, aware of costs.

C. R.

Great service, super quick and easy and excellent communication

B. B.

Hard to go past these guys for quality and friendly customer service. Always make things easy, can provide parts at no notice, and know both our cars and its history inside out. Won't be leaving these guys anytime soon, and can't recommend high enough!

B. G.

Amazing service, saved me an unnecessary repair and explained everything to me clearly. Best mechanic experience I’ve ever had. Cheers!

S. N.

Just moving recently to Auckland, car had been playing up. Got referred to Barry Clarke Automotive by another company as they couldn't service my car due to type. Being a walk in, they were so helpful, great customer service with a personal touch and were able to diagnose and fix the problem within an hour and half and at great price. Will now become my local - Thanks Liz and Team.

B. T.

Darren and the team (Jimmy, Liz etc) were outstanding. Being a sucker for Euro's I have been in and out on numerous occasions... Every time Darren calls regarding progress updates he's clear, concise and honest with repair options, was never surprised with excessive bills either. Highly recommended for a long term mechanic. Cheers

R. A.

Can always rely on Darren & the team to provide an excellent service & provide you with options depending on what your car needs....& for a reasonable cost. Recommended!

E. R.

Honest and reliable team. Have been getting my last 3 vehicles serviced by these guys and have never missed a beat. Will go out of my way to take my truck to these guys . 5/5

A. Q.

Many thanks for treating me with honesty and respect - straight up advised me there was absolutely nothing wrong with my vehicle even though I had initially raised concerns. Very confident recommending these guys to my car-illiterate friends :)
