Reliable mechanic in Melbourne?

Post by -Nighthawk- »

Hey guys,
I'm currently trying to find a mechanic that does good work and at decent prices located in Melbourne. (prefer SE)

A lot of mechanics don't even know what the FTO is, which has me worried when they need to fix issues etc.

Basically I need the mechanic to look at my steering on the car before I order all the bushes / droplinks etc. to find out exactly what is wrong with the steering (tramlining and steering to the left) and if they do decent prices get him to instal it all.

Also, how much would I be looking at for the install of droplinks, bushes, tie rod ends, ball joints? I can do this mostly myself but if the price isn't too much I may as well get it installed while there.

Thanks

Fto is not a UFO! You would be surprised how similar the FTO is like every other Mitsubishi.

Try telling that to most mechanics :P
I want someone who knows cars like this. I've e-mailed RevZone which look good, but they charge $88 per hour. Is that too expensive you think?

Three hours I reckon. Why don't you get a pry bar to see if there is an play in the bushes and ball joints? The tram lining could be caused by heaps of things.

Say your car is like a galant that's what I always say.
