Where to get FTO serviced ?

Post by Tezza »

Hello everyone. I'm new here and new to FTO's.
Picked up my little girl last week. Beautiful in black
She's got a lots of k's on her though and I think she may have been a bit neglected recently.
I'm in western Sydney, where do you guys take yours?
Mitsubishi ? Preformance engine mechanics ? Super Mario at the local garage?
I know its gonna cost me but whats a full service likely cost?
Plugs, good oil etc
To my knowledge she's just a standard 95 GPX Tiptronic
Be gentle
TIA

I'm in pretty much the same situation in regards to servicing. Got me baby just over a week ago and just like yours it's a black 95 GPX.

I think I'll do a couple of enquires at a few local places, and I might also consider getting my mate to do the service for me. I won't consider taking my car to a Mitsubishi dealer though, as it's likely to cost.

Also Tezza, where bouts in western sydney r u?

Quick follow up..
Took the car to Rigoli's on Victoria Street Wetherill Park
Found them to be very professional and helpful
They seem to do a lot of preformance car work there as well
anyway, they helped source an aftermarket waterpump and a few other bits and pieces to save me some $'s
Took the car for some serious crusing on the weekend (about 800 k's) and it didn't skip a beat.
Only problem was staying under speed limit on a double points weekend
Survived it though :)

Hey ya
i'm from western sydney, St Clair.
I found Penrith Mitsubishi pretty good with getting genunie parts.

i see quite a few FTOs in the city but not many 'out west'

i'm about to do the tappets, cam belt, spark plugs myself, with my old man...

Maybe all catch up soon for a cruise, cant make the november 2 cruise since i cant get leave... so maybe some other time soon.
