Posted on Steve LangfordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I use Josh to service all my cars but the real show stopper was when I needed airbags fitted to my vehicle urgently before a trip away. Josh fitted me in at short notice and did a fantastic job, truly above and beyond.Posted on Anthony Marshall (Marshall)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh is super knowledgeable and a great guy! He listened to my vehicle issues and was able to diagnose when plenty other mechanics could not. I am so happy I’ve found Route 1 Mechanical here in Karratha. Highly recommend Josh and Route 1Posted on Jackson StokesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh and the team were easy to deal with and went above and beyond to get me back on the road in time to finish off my trip, only mechanic i would trust in town!Posted on Pamela RobinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were travelling when my Landcruiser 300 was due for a servi ce and Route 1 Mechanical was recommended by a friend/ relative.At very short notice Josh fitted me in for my service. Josh not only provided a service but he went over and beyond with collecting my vehicle, leaving hire car for my convenience and then returned my vehicle after the service was complete. I would recommend Route 1 without hesitation. I might add in amongst all of this Josh was relocating his business and still provided timely, concise and professional service. Thank you Josh.Posted on mitch spauldingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service from Josh, would absolutely recommend to everyonePosted on Drake AbrahamssonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Route 1 team serviced my car quickly, thoroughly, and at a great price— I could not be happier! While on my lap of Australia, I took my Toyota Hiace in for a logbook service, but also asked that he look for anything out of spec / needing replacement since reliability is top priority over such a long distance & while visiting remote areas. After completing the routine service, he was extremely thorough and personally walked me through what he recommend I replace before moving forward. I took him up on all recommendations, and I am now feeling confident in my van! Josh and the crew at Route 1 do such an amazing job. Thank you for not only great work, but also your kindness and care.Posted on V2Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. While travelling around Australia we got problems with our Mercedes van. Where other mechanics couldn’t find the problem, Josh found the problem immediately and fixed the problem really well. Fairly priced and was super friendly keeping us updated. Recommend Route 1 definitely! Thanks again!
