Dear all our valuable customers,

Over the past few days, our team has been faced with a couple of unexpected and heartbreaking tragedies. Out of respect for those affected and to allow our team the time and space to grieve and heal, we have made the difficult decision to close the business for the remainder of the week.

We deeply appreciate your understanding, compassion, and support during this incredibly difficult time. We’ll be back as soon as we can and will keep you updated with any changes.
We are in the process of contacting everyone with their vehicle's already at the shop or booked in for the week to reschedule.

Thank you for standing with us.

— The Full Throttle Mechanics Team

A Note to Our Valued Customers

We’ve recently seen a Facebook post claiming we charged for work that wasn’t completed.

As far as we can tell, this customer doesn’t exist, and requests for proof have been refused.

At our business, we pride ourselves on transparency and quality. Every job is thoroughly documented with before-and-after photos and added to customer job cards with the faulty/worn part we removed and images of the newly inserted part.

We do not believe in charging for work we haven't done—doing so would go against everything we stand for.

We truly appreciate the messages of support from our loyal customers. To the individual behind the post, we welcome you to come in and speak with us directly so we can address your concerns respectfully and honestly.

Thank you for standing by us.

❤️ APPRECIATION POST ❤️

Some of you are aware that over the past 4-6weeks we have been running most days with just one mechanic. This is because our owner/head mechanic Jac has been incredibly unwell and dealing with a lot of appointments and spent more time at home resting than working in the workshop.

We do sincerely apologise for delays in finalising quotes, having days booked out to limit our workload to our one working mechanic, and for those who are waiting to hear back from us.

Jac is fully back on board today and together with the help of her staff we endeavor to get back to everyone in the next 24-48hours.

We sincerely appreciate all our valued customers for their understanding during this trying time.

If you are waiting to hear from us, please let us know via messaging the page and we will get back to you at some point today.

Please also remember, you can book appointments online via our website.

Thank you again ❤️
