What Garage/Mechanic do you use?

Post by Jono »

Just wondering where everyone else goes, but mostly for Newbies who need to find a mechanic that has some experience with FTOs.

Anyways.

The City Garage - North Melb.

i use to take it to V-tech automotives in North Melbourne, but the mechanic sold the place and opened up a bigger shop, hes done all my family's car for quite a few years now.

but for Panel beating, i've been to quite a few places, its hard to find a good panel beater for good price, but the only one i'd recomend so far is SL Motorsport!

IS Motorsports at Rockdale.

Been going there every since my warranty ended. The owner knows his stuff, he use to work in japan so therefore he specialises in jap imports.

Anyone from here go there or is it just me? :?
