What our customers say
Cheers Kevin Patten
Highly recommend
Vince rang me to let me know that a courier dropped off a package for me. They had dropped it off to them instead of where my office was, a couple of buildings further up the road.
Vince was courteous, very professional and was happy to hold on to the parcel for me.
I was very impressed by Vince. His honesty, integrity and attitude to doing the right thing is truly admirable. If Vince exemplifies Voltaic's company philosophy and approach to interactions with the general public, I will definitely look to them to get work done on our fleet vehicles.
When picking up the van the work done was everything we had discussed, the work done was spot on and to a high standard.
This is the second time going with Voltaic and will be back for more work in the future!
Anthony the auto electrician was a fantastic bloke and very accommodating to my needs nothing was a problem

Thank you guys very much, and thanks, Kody!!
A big shoutout to Dion, the technician who worked on my BMW. Being a BMW owner himself, he not only repaired the AC efficiently but also kept me informed every step of the way. Dion went above and beyond by showing me the repair process at each stage, which really gave me confidence in their transparency and expertise.
It's refreshing to find a garage that prioritizes transparency, excellent communication, and high-quality workmanship.
Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and great communication on the issue
Very reasonable price too
Dion and the Voltaic team have been incredibly accomodating, professional and have provided the best service that I’ve received when it comes to auto electrical installations.
Would happily recommend Voltaic, Dion and the team for any type of Starlink install and any auto electrical work. Thanks again!
Big thanks to the team at Voltaic.
They also have great merchandise.
