Russell and his team could not be commended enough for their honest , genuine and professional nature.
Had them inspect a Foz on my behalf as I was purchasing used, interstate. They noticed some transmission leaks that should have been picked up by Subaru Dealer under warranty so wrote up a report and sent the owner back to Subaru and they fixed it for free.
Russell wouldn't take my money as he wasn't certain Subaru would fix the issue and would impact whether or not I'd go ahead with the purchase. When things worked out in my favour I got back to pay again but still said it was all good. What a champ. Obviously loves his job and prides him self for getting his hands dirty with honesty. So hard to find garages like this these days. Wish I lived in QLD to take my new car there for all works needed.
Highly reccomend!!!
Approximate cost: $130
I took my 2001 Bugeye to these guys with no boost. (Collapsed up pipe and internal damage to the turbo). They diagnosed the problem within 10 minutes and fixed the issue first go at a very fair and reasonable price as well as checking out a few more issues I wanted fixed into the future and gave me explanations and quotes on this work. I,ll be bringing it back here for its next service for sure.
Thanks For the great Review and glad to get your Subi running like it should :-)
Honest, Reliable and Trustworthy.
My first experience with Russ and the team at Subi Evolution began after being told my Subi needed thousands of dollars worth of repairs at a dealership. The staff at the dealership were advising me that the repairs were so urgent that l should leave my car there that night and take home a courtesy car and return a week later. Fortunately the staff left me alone for long enough for me to call a friend to ask if the repair costs seemed reasonable. My friend’s advice was to ‘get the hell out of there!’ and go and see the team at Subi Evolution. That was about 7 years ago now. My experience with Russ and the team has always been professional and without pressure. My mechanical knowledge is pretty much non existent however, Russ and the team have never made me feel embarrassed, instead, taking the time to explain to me what needs to be done, prioritising the work and giving me an idea of how long it might be until brake pads etc need to be replaced. The team go above and beyond for their customers and will do a local drop off and pick up or let you relax in the customer lounge while they take care of your Subi. Russ even helped me when purchasing my next second hand Subi which l took home today and look forward to having Subi Evolution take care of for me so I can just enjoy driving her. Last but by far not the least, I must mention their exceptional public relations manager,
Boris ️
After having engine problems after just purchasing an 05 Sti, Russ was immediately helpful and reassuring, he treated me more like a friend and was ALWAYS patient with me, even if I called a lot.
His quote was reasonable and included what was needed to make the car almost like new, fixing the sins of the other mechanics that had come before him.
It is very rare to find such care, dedication and levels of service, and it is a pleasure to recommend the team at Subi Evolution, I'm already excited for the next time the car is with them.
Thank-you guys!
Russell did an excellent job of freshening up my '04 Forester. Steering rack, wheel bearings, rear main seal, window motor/regulator and a dozen other little bits and pieces. After accepting the quote and getting it on the hoist he noticed the clutch was on it's last legs so he called me and asked if I wanted it replaced while he already had the gearbox out - saving me a few hundred bucks in labour. Much appreciated. I'm going back for some new suspension and I know where the Forrie will be going for any work from now on.
I just can't fault Subi Evolution and in particular the customer service that Russell offers.
Russell and Steve go out of their way to help.
I have never had to query an invoice, or bring my vehicle back after a repair. Haven't met a fairer or more capable couple of blokes in this industry.
My vehicles are a Honda Accord, and a Nissan X Trail. Couldn't be happier
Huge thanks to Russ and team for always fixing my car. Saving me haha and never overcharging. Best place to get your car serviced with exceptional customer service
We are a family of WRX owners and we wouldn't take them anywhere else. Russell is always helpful and his diagnostic skills are awesome. I am so glad Subievo is not far away from us because we would go there even if he was across town. Russ is always happy to supply good 2nd hand parts if appropriate and tries to save his customers money. I can't recommend Russ highly enough. I am soooo glad I have someone I trust looking after my cars... Cheers ..
Many years ago I bought my first Subaru.... After being stuffed around by Dealers for a few months, a friend mentioned this small Subaru workshop in Brendale.... Subi Evolution.
After stopping by and talking to Russ and the guys, I was fairly sure I had found a good workshop.
But, after I got my car back, I was 100% positive.
The guys at Subi Evo go above and beyond every time to ensure that I know what is happening with my pride & joy, and they take the time to explain everything, and make a recommendation on how I should proceed (rather than simply doing work that was not requested, and then billing for it, as many other workshops do)
It has been almost 8 years since I first discovered them, and I have "WOMO'd" many of my friends and workmates here also, some of which don't even own Subaru's!
Keep up the excellent work guys.
Russ and the team at Subi evolution are highly experienced and knowledgable in all things Subaru. Russ took the time to explain all options across the price spectrum and it was for this reason I took my GT Forester to Subi evolution to install a new motor. Even though I have to drive from the south side I've been taking my car to them ever since. Highly recommend them!
They have always been good to me with my vehicles and have always been able to fit me at earliest convenience. Would recommend to anyone.
Subi Evolution has excellent customer service. They are also happy to try and fit you in as best they can. They service the car and fix any issues. Highly recommend them.
Fantastic service! High level of knowledge and skill! Exceptional advice! Right price! Quick turnaround!
I have been servicing my Subaru's for years at Subievolution and would never take my vehicles anywhere else.
Highly recommended!
5++++++++++ stars in all areas for Russ and Ash!
I live out of town, but subi evolution is worth the drive, Best staff, super friendly and nice. Great prices, wouldn't trust my subi with anyone else. Highly recommended :) !!
I am a rep and was working in Brendale for the day. As fate would have it I was parked in Combarton St when my subi would not start. The amazing team at Subi Evolution, knowing I was only in the area for the day jumped to action and had my car ready to go within a few hours. I couldn't be happier with the service I received. They are friendly, helpful and accommodating and the price of repairs was very reasonable, especially when considering the short timeframe they had to work with. I am ever so grateful and recommend them to everyone. They may even be well worth the drive if not local to you.
Approximate cost: $195.00
I have been taking our MY08 Impreza to Subi Evolution for about 5 years and I can sum it up in one word really. Trust. Ours is not a performance model , all we get is log book servicing. I am very interested in how everything works and I get all the attention and explanations I need from both Russell and Ash. I am very happy to recommend Subi Evolution.
I have used Subi Evolution twice now for my Liberty. Both times my car has been fixed very promptly with a minimum of fuss and excellent friendly customer service. Subi Evolution is a fair way to travel from home but I wouldn't take my car anywhere else now.
I'd been burnt by dealer service before and was concerned that I had no alternatives to get my new car serviced. A friend recommended Subi Evolution. On top of being friendly and accommodating, it only took one look at the cars in the workshop to appreciate that they know their stuff. I've never left my car expecting anything but the best.
Have been using SubiEvolution for the past three years. Was tired of the Subaru dealership, both cost and service, and could not be happier. Russell is friendly, honest and straight up. Explains everything to you so you can understand what is being done. Could not ask for more from someone in any line of business. And he knows his stuff to boot! Recommend to anyone.
very good workshop, i previously had my subaru serviced there when I owned it. Now have a 4x4 and wish I could find someone as good to service it.
Really honest and cares about customer needs. I was told 4 years ago by another mechanic that my a set of brake pads needed changing. Took my car to Subi evolution to get another opion and these same brake pads lasted me the last 4 years. Been with them for the last 4 years and will be sending my daughter to get her car serviced there too.
Russell and Ash did an awesome job on the rebuild of my engine and ever since then I have also taken the car back to Subi Evolution for all its servicing and any issues I have had. Russell spent a good 45 minutes on the phone with me going through options when I first rang to check prices for a rebuild where as most other places just gave me a price and hung up, it was this personal service that made me take my car to Subi Evolution. It has been about a year since I first sent the car in and there has been quite alot of work done on the car now, Russell takes the time to explain everything he has done and why, he also points out anything that may need to be done in the near future. Anybody with a Subaru should definitely be taking their car to Subi Evolution, I live in Redbank Plains and have no hesitation to take the car all the way to the northside as I know I am getting the best service around.
Approximate cost: $14k+
These guys are amazing. Extremely knowledgeable, honest, and always willing to help! Great service.
SubiEvolution are by far the best place in Brisbane to service your Subaru. Friendly, accomodating and most importantly very knowledgable about problems that crop up on these cars. Their prices are fair for the work they do, which has always been for me top rate over the past 4 years, with exceptional customer service.
The team at Subi Evolution are great, very knowledgeable and always willing to chat about what you can/can't or should/shouldn't do with your car. They are lovely to deal with in general and will always give you the best price for the best services!
