They made an error - and were rude about it
Got a mobile roadworthy (Cairns branch) which initially seemed straightforward, until I realised the mechanic had written down the wrong model type. Called to get this updated, was told I had no idea what I was talking about, he had never heard of anything like this and hung up on me. Wish I had looked at reviews first - Would never use again!

Staff disrespectful, rude and arrogant.
I had a problem with my motorbike in Southport and a staff called Nick was sent to help me out. He was extremely disrespectful, rude, sarcastic and arrogant, having no idea how to deal with a customer. If you want to be well treated, don't contact this company.
I was charged $100 to recharge the battery, but my battery died 1 minute later and the guy was gone. So I pushed my bike for 30 min to the nearest battery shop. Calling this company was throwing money away.

Horrible place
I have emailed and tried to call since last year . And still no solution with this company. First they rip us off, charge $1620 of a job that was basically nothing . Took them almost a month to get back to me as well. Now we have paid back another 2k for nothing when they were suppose to cancel a certegy account created and won’t get back to me. Stay away because all they care about is money . No care in the world about customer service or honesty.

Do not use them
We had auto king come out to roadworthy the car.20.01.20 Passed it all. Didn't even take it for a drive at all. A prospect buyer sends another guy out to look a the car 10.2.20 car hadn't moved at all. And guess what it fails. Second guy really nice. Did it all proper. Took it for a drive. Auto king is not interested in rectifying anything at all told us fill out a form great customer service lol. No apologies nothing. unbelievable how they keep getting away with this.

Hunting for money
Car failed on suspension being told rear shocks need replacing... they’re new, the dust boots do need replacing but he said he would want to change the shocks and springs which are 6 months old. Car had a roadworthy but it expired yesterday so was being redone.
The scary thing, they passed everything else, they didn’t check the seatbelts and they didn’t even drive it to test brakes and brake lights. Disgusting!

My worst experience ever
I needed the roadworthy certificate, I booked from them for that, the first time they cancel my booking and the second time customer service was terrible . I just paid $99 for nothing, and I got my roadworthy certificate from other mechanic,

Disgusting customer service
Bought a battery from this business. Three months later the battery is flat. called RACQ they did testing and said it was faulty. Called Autoking was spoken to rudely to a man and told me they don;t do refunds, I needed to bring the battery in and have it tested because RACQ were probably just trying to get me to buy a new battery then he proceeded to hang up on me.
Called another one of their numbers, lady was lovely, told me to fill in a form. 10 days later, no response, I emailed for an update. The person on the other end of the email was just as rude and told me I had already been told to bring it in for checks and that RACQ probably didnt test it. The saga continues... AVOID.

Sooo expensive
Hubby works away and booked service with these guys for his Colorado ute, nice guy, turns up on time, efficient, hubby was told it would take an hour and a half, guy was here 30 mins, wow bit shocked when I heard the price, $345 is really expensive for a 30 min oil change.

Professional, thorough, polite and very helpful
Dennis came out to my vehicle, was here within 20 minutes of me calling the main line. Dennis did a great job, got straight into it and 'fixed' the issue no problem at all. I would recommend auto king to anyone in need of a mechanic and I will certainly be calling them again.

Avoid this mob at all costs
Had one of your mechanics inspect our vehicle today, at the request of a potential interstate buyer. He was late, didnt call to confirm he was even coming as ourselves and the buyer were told he would, and clearly didnt have a clue, as he tried to tell us all of the hoses were old, perished and needed replacing. A complete lie as they were replaced less than a year ago, and look absolutely fine.
He made sure we were not near the vehicle when he tried to call the buyer, who was unavailable anyway. He has advised the buyer the vehicle needs 10k ...Read more
worth of work, which is a grossly inflated figure. To top it off, when we got in the vehicle later to drive it, noticed he has broken the ignition barrel clearly completely ignoring the big button to release the key and has reefed it out with pure force. When he test drove it, we heard the gearbox crunch horribly from across the road as he took off, causing damage. This mechanic had no idea how to operate the vehicle, and didnt bother to ask. He does though have a friend who happens to be looking for one the exact same apparently! Which we can only assume is why our buyer was given such an over inflated figure. What we did not tell anyone though, is that the owner of the vehicle is a mechanic himself. We are extremely annoyed at the damage to our vehicle following your inspection, and will be following up with you on Monday to lodge a complaint and we expect this rectified as soon as possible. Avoid avoid avoid this bunch of clowns who dont have a clue and will damage your vehicles!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

i called them out for a rwc
they said someone is gonna be here at 1:30 pm so at 4:30pm this arrogant fool comes around acting like he owns QLD and then we exchanged like 6 words,
after him leaving i was left believing my car passed the rwc, then i get the report which says my suspension are faulty,
i wish i could show you a picture of them it's just the plastic that covers the shocks,
i was looking for it and there is little crack in the plastic that protects the shocks from dust getting in it its a easy fix and at the same time the report says...Read more

Waste of time and money
Called out to have a look at my brakes, took the front wheel off, then was unsure about putting it all the way back on, he told us what needed to be done, when my partner went to do it he couldn’t get the bolts loose enough to come off as they had been bent, called and asked if they could come back out just to use the gun to get the wheel off and said they would but for another $99 when it’s their fault the bolt was bent my partner got the wheel off the 2 bolts completely snapped off! Waste of money! Asked to speak to head office and got hung up on
Not great

Wish I could give them 0 stars...
Dodgy mechanics just trying to rip people off. Called them out to fix a leak in cooling system in my Holden, they said there was also water in the oil that they had to flush. They quoted me over $920 which I paid so that I could drive my car, next day it leaked again, they came out again and said they fixed it this time, I have now had to call them out 4 times to fix the leak that I paid them to fix and every time they have come out and said it’s fixed it leaks again and is unable to drive. Asked them to come fix it for the 5th time and they s...Read more
aid I have to pay more to get them back out even though they still haven’t fixed the leak I paid $920 to fix. Currently talking to Fair Trades to force them to give me my refund. Very rude employees aswell. Going to post on every social media platform to warn everyone from using these guys and make sure this doesn’t happen to someone else.1 comment

Terrible telephone customer service
I have used one of your mechanics that is based in cairns before, he was amazing and went above and beyond, however when I had to call your business directly when booking the same mechanic the person answering the phone was so incredibly rude that I almost put the phone down. He was arrogant, rude, and spoke so aggressively that if I hadn’t previously used Harley the mechanic who again is incredibly I would not have used your company and told other people not to call your company.
I’m am sure that you would not like someone like that deterring customers from using your business.

Super helpful
I called because my car had been making noises and some other things needed to get checked. Called Auto King and spoke with Helen. She was very helpful and got a lovely mechanic to check my car. I’m not a fan of going to the mechanic. But this experience was great! Would highly recommend.
