Sticky for Reputable FTO Repairers/Mechanics/Spray Paint

Can the moderator put this topic as stickies? I found this on the Queensland section. This is what the guy said in the QLD section.

Hey,

I was thinking.... With the amount of threads created when people are looking to find out where to take their FTO's to be fixed, it would be good to have a Sticky thread for all the "Reputable" FTO Mechanics or Tuners / Body Modifications / Spray Shops / Parts Suppliers for QLD.

I will be happy to put it all together & post it up, but I don't particularly have much experience with "good" mechanics myself ... so I would need everyone's input on places they would recommend

I can't stress enough that the mechanics have to be "
Reputable - doesn't have to be a classy establishment, but they do need to be a decent, honest workshop who either knows FTO's, not just 'say' they do... or is a very good mechanic that you would trust to work on your car, or recommend to someone else.

If you recommend any workshops anywhere in QLD (Even Northern NSW) can you PM me with the details

Workshop Name:
Location:
Ph Number:
Workshop Type: Mechanic? /Panel beater?
FTO Specialist?: Y/N
Work you've had done:
How happy were you with the work?:
How you found out about them:
$$$: (how much will it stretch the wallet?)
