Testimonials
What our customers are saying
Amazing experience!
I booked my A5 in to be looked at after Audi Centre Fortitude Valley said I needed new brakes all around and 7k worth of repairs.From the beginning, the experience was fantastic. From booking and being offered a loan car to arriving and being offered a coffee, it really is the small things that lead to an amazing experience.
Turned out nothing Audi had found was correct and I was shown video proof. All the car needed was some new front brakes. Cannot highly recommend these guys enough!

Efficient, thorough and I left feeling I understood the problem. The token to get a fabulous coffee from the barista outside. Can not recommend Accelerate Automotive highly enough. As a woman who knows nothing about motors and cars, the Technicians took the time to explain it, so I understood it.
