Mechanic
hey guys, i haven't been here for a long time.. been pretty busy with my final year at uni.
do you guys know any good mechanics in Mlebourne that i could use to do a major service.... my car's hitting close to 90,000 so i thought i'd get the service done.
The usual timing belt, spark plauges etc...... not exactly sure what else.
Cheers..

depends on what side of town you're on...
if you're in the east you could go to Lee
(but be prepared for your car to be off the road for 3 - 4 weeks!!!)
or maybe try the fellas at Revzone in Nunawading
just be ready for a hefty bill either way... not a cheap process.

With Lee taking longer and longer with FTO's, and also for those across town from him, are there any other suggestions on Mechanics with FTO experience - I know "Lee is the man", but there must be other good mechanics out there???
I previously went to APB Autotech in blackburn (old Genesis site) - they've now moved to Ringwood (getting a bit far for me). I know they can do 100,000km service and Timing belt changes without problems
Was gonna go to Revzone for next service - has anyone had any experience with them (good or bad?) - Euro, you've been there before right???

RevZone are my r33s tuning and performance workshop. I have only dyno'd my FTO there as I do most of the FTO stuff myself. My car is there now getting ready for Winton in 2 weeks.know1here wrote:With Lee taking longer and longer with FTO's, and also for those across town from him, are there any other suggestions on Mechanics with FTO experience - I know "Lee is the man", but there must be other good mechanics out there???

revzone have been good with my car,
craig the main mechanic appears really honest and has been good to deal with. My only issue with them is that you sometimes need to be very clear with what you want done etc, and at times I have turned up to pick my car and been told something needed to be fixed and rather then call me and tell me (so they could fix it then) ive had to re book the car in -
certainly serviced and repaired things well and i think pricing is fair, there isa lways at least one fto in there when i go

you will get cheaper but I paid a lot more for mine off another mechanic for similar work. If your unsure get them to break down the quote for you e.g. hours in labour (which will be high), timing belt, seals etc etc. Which oil you choose to use etc etc.JOeJOe wrote:$1,800 - are they supplyin the parts? I know you're getting the pump off me.
Seems a bit dear to me.
at least with revzone you know service will be done well, unlike mine where I had to get the seals done again 18months later beacuse they were leaking again & the mechanic wouldnt do for free.

they'll supply all the other parts except for water pump i'll be providing it.thanks for all the help with that Joe. The guy at Revzone said they usually use genuine parts only.
Ah yeah the guy at Rev zone was saying that.. he had FTO come in their and he said he had the major service done and all but the timing belt was not a brand new one and all of things weren't even done when they had look at it.
The guy's like there's been like 8 fto come to them in past 2 weeks trying to do major service... he was like wahts up with that... told him you guys are being recommended all around at FTO club so everyone's coming down to you.
