Craig is a wealth of knowledge and whilst I live a little far from his shop, he has been nothing but responsive and knowledgable to help me diagnose a few issues Ive had.

I wish he had a shop here in Sydney but can highly recommend him to those on the coast / Newcastle region.

Came in here to get a service done on both my wife and my car. It was a Saturday so we went off to grab breakfast, got our courtesy call and went back. You can't beat the price by these guys and the honesty. Definitely will be getting our cars done here from now on.

As a non mechanically minded person I have complete trust that Matt will look after me and my car. He will only do what is needed to keep the car safe and ensures if there is any problem that may start to come up (brakes getting low, timing belt next service etc) I am warned ahead of time.
Thank you

Comparing the price of a service for my Jeep elsewhere, I could not believe the price, and quality of service I got at Nova Auto Innovations for a fraction of the cost elsewhere... Just amazing!

Craig totally blows the saying 'you can't pay someone to care' out of the water. In the decade me and my family have been using him for all our mechanical work, he has been friendly, helpful, professional and always very well priced.

i would not and do not hesitate to send anyone i know there for anywork needed.

Brunitski #4 in Mayfield NSW 20 Dec 2013 7 reviews · 200 points

I found these guys here on womo after spending large sums on regular services, and hoping to read what I did on the other reviews. They did not disappoint. Almost $300.00 cheaper than the cheapest of my last 4 services. Matt also did something that other mechanics would not - suggested a $60 work-around for a problem that, had I insisted on a make/model specific (read warranty required) fix would have cost me another $300, or potentially more. Lovely people, fast and - thank all the gods of automobiles - cheap!
They have my custom from now. No question.

Very friendly staff, so cheap for a service I honestly believe they should charge more I used to pay other mechanics $200-400 for a service and then be given a list of other things they said needed done.
Nova is the best and can be trusted!!!

One of the best priced automotive groups around.
For years I have taken my cars here, why?
The No BS service like you get with other mechanics, these guys are trustworthy, have a great customer service, know what they're doing and won't take you for a ride.
Hey $26 for a pinkslip, that's not half bad.

Quick turn around on job, radiator flush out, professional, respectable, polite, friendly. Overwhelmed with my experience with them, I have never come across a mechanic who are so professional. I went to them to get a second opinion, and they managed to do the job with a discount and in half the time.

I can say my experience with Craig and his team over the past 5 years has been nothing but positive. I had six years of dealership servicing with high costs and Craigs servicing was a fraction of the cost. Nothing is ever a problem to Craig. I was broken down on the side of the road and he came out and got me going and if I just dropped in with a problem, he was always there to help me. Being Female this is reassuring to me. I found them to be honest and competent mechanics. I can highly recommend.

Craig, the owner of Nova Auto Innovations, is such a lovely, genuine person, you can't but help feeling comfortable leaving your precious car in his hands. I have unfortunately in my time come across so many cons that take advantage of a woman, so it was very refreshing to find someone that I seriously can trust and would recommend to any car-novice. Craig has saved me heaps and it's great to have confidence in may aging car now that I have finally found a trustworthy mechanic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
