Goose Euro - Downtown

This business is NOT the real deal. They took my $1300 cash only to have my ac break down again a little over 35 days later, where they charged me another diagnostics fee of $203 and Robert told me he was holding my car until he was paid. They wanted to charge me another $3400 to fix my car without any discounts… Read full review

My best experience I’ve had with a repair shop, I’ve been to a few in SA for various things on my vehicle before from brakes to headlights and sensors. But usually I had to be able to figure out when the advisor or mechanic was trying to trick me into extra unnecessary repairs. At premier one it didn’t feel like… Read full review
