  After booking a Living Social Major Service Deal I read some reviews online which were very concerning. I decided to go ahead to support this local business as I know many people only bother to leave a review when they are unhappy.
  
  These guys did a great job. They fixed my car while i was across the road in a coffee shop. Called me to advise of the parts needed and charged me a fair price.
  
  After they called I actually went to another well known repair shop and got a quote for the parts needed and R & D Auto were actually cheaper.
  
  Just be polite and I'm sure these guys will look after you too. Also read the fine print on your coupon so you know what's covered and what NOT covered in your deal so you don't have any false expectations.

  My sister used a Groupon voucher for a $39 safety cert. I was concerned that the low price was going to be counteracted by a failed safety certificate and invisible issues with the car.
  I was right. They tried to sell her new tyres (because apparently they weren't roadworthy). Their reasons why the tyres were unroadworthy were both ridiculous (the tread pattern didn't match), and in direct contradiction of QLD vehicle inspection guidelines (with regards to a spare tyre).
  
  The saying remains true- if it's too good to be true, it probably is.
  
  Once I asked Anthony about his reasons for failing, he was instantly aggressive and told me to f*** off and get it done somewhere else. His colleague was equally abusive.
  
  I did take the car somewhere else, and it passed with a light globe and some wiper blades.
  
  Avoid this business. It preys on women and will not accept responsibility for its mistakes. It takes advantage of people's lack of automotive knowledge to make a profit.
