 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The leaf springs broke on the front axle of my 5th wheeler, near Birchip. Tyson rang me after NRMA contacted him and we had clear communication on the job required. Tyson and Jamie were punctual and professional in getting our van to Kialla for repairs. A difficult time made easier by dealing with experienced professionals. We highly recommend Cathcart to anybody.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took my car here a month ago. They thoroughly checked over my car and took the time to explain the issue. Their freely given recommendation was at no profit to them. So good to get honest, knowledgeable advice. I highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent work and fantastic customer service by the team at Cathcarts on my MG5. Easy to organise a tow, prompt updates at each stage of the repairs and they smashed out the job earlier than anticipated. Huge thanks to Daniel, Liana and the team 🙌😊
