Mechanics in western Sydney
Hey guys
Just wondering what mechanic you use and If you can recommend one that is good with Ftos...
I'm not just looking for any mechanic shop, (I could google for that), only ones that people can actualy recommend.
Thanks in advance

Yep.. UAS in seven hills.
Worked more with FTOs than any other workshop, bit expensive ($112 per hour from memory), though they get the job done quicker than others cos they know what they're doing.

Re: Mechanics in western Sydney
Sure is; not for a timing belt though - Though even if I hadn't been there yet, I'd still give them a thumbs up for reliability.
Not cheap, but the most experienced with FTOs.

Re: Mechanics in western Sydney
Depends on what you need doing
I don't do any job that could go on for more than 1 day. Ie - no timing belts or engine swaps. So your car doesn't occupy my driveway for weeks on end *throws shifty look at Lawso*
Regular service stuff like plugs & fluid changes, no problems.

Well the things I'm thinking I need done are:
Plugs
Plug leads (upgrade?) depends on the price of them
Fuel filter
All fluids
and whatever else we come across, I think one of my belts (ac maybe) need doing because it is starting to fray
And that's all I can think of ATM, but there may be more
Nothing too complicated, just things I don't know how to do yet..

Re: Mechanics in western Sydney

Maybe even have a fuel filter relocation...
