Owning a Europe’s veh and having it serviced by the dealership was becoming an expensive exercise. I decided to go to Melbourne Prestige motors in Croydon on recommendation by a friend. My car has been service twice now and one other time for rear brakes. I have been totally comfortable with their workmanship and honesty. It is a pleasure to be able to leave my car in their hands to know I will not be taken advantage of. A reputable company to deal with. Thank you
