Fantastic service from Travis. Got our NX35 in for a custom tune within days notice. Excellent customer service, no rush, and re-serviced. We will be back.

Spoke with Travis about getting a tune and remap done on my Holden Colorado and the whole experience was great. He managed to fit me in really quickly and delivered exactly what I was after.

Booked my Holden Trailblazer in for a custom ECU upgrade. I got some good power gains that will assist in towing my caravan, but also making the car perform better all the time. Great customer service and provided a courtesy loan car.

Went to Trusted after being recommended by a friend. Can't fault their service.

I was kept in the loop when a faulty part was sent out. Very happy with the customer service and pricing.

I had a custom tune done with Trusted Mechanical Services. They are professional, trustworthy, and went above and beyond in servicing my vehicle.

Awesome work on my car. They inform you before fixing any problems so you are aware and will let you know the cost. It is going to be not nasty, they will give you advance notice. Lovely, lovely lunch and great service.

Outstanding communication and work was done in a timely manner. The towing tune to my 2020 D-Max received a mention also and felt comfortable with the team and confident with the work.
What people trust us for
The same themes come up again and again. Here is the pattern in the feedback, and where to act on it.
Honest pricing, no upsell
As an RAA Approved Repairer we are held to a fair-pricing promise, and reviewers say it shows: they were told what did and did not need doing, with no invented work on the bill.
Diesel tuning done properly
Dyno-verified tunes with real towing and economy gains, written for your vehicle rather than flashed from a generic file. It is why owners call us one of the better diesel workshops in the south.
The DPF fix that saves a replacement
Reviewers who were quoted thousands for a new diesel particulate filter had theirs cleaned properly and the warning light cleared instead.
Photos of every job
We photograph your service and send you the images, so you see exactly what was done and the condition of the parts we checked. It is the difference customers call out most.
Work that is guaranteed
A 100% Result Guarantee and all work fully guaranteed, which is why reviewers keep coming back for repeat jobs across their fleet and family cars.
Local and trusted
Southern-Adelaide owners across Lonsdale, Christies Beach, Hallett Cove and Sheidow Park rate us 4.8 stars, the reputation that already carries the workshop on Maps.

Behind the rating sit the credentials that earned it. We are an RAA Approved Repairer, judged on knowledge, skills and equipment and subject to regular RAA audits.
