Most people go to UAS in sydney. Its not cheap but at least you know they work on ftos regularly and they will do a good job. Their website is www.nismo.com.au for address...

no one can predict the cost of your service - it depensd on what they want or need to do.... if its just oil and filter changes it will probs be around $150-$200?

$150-$200 for a oil andd filter change?

You'll want to get a PROPER service fpr that money.

If you are doing a service make sure it's a check of all the engine, brakes, tyres and all the other small bits.

It all depends how frequantly you get your car serviced?

sorry i did mean a 'standard service' oil change, filters, check brakes etc.... just too lazy to list everything... what i was getting at was thats about your minimum expense generally and then it will be more depending if anything needs changing...

Maytech Automotive also does a pretty good job. They're located off the princess highway in arncliff.

Reasonable prices too. They work on a couple of fto's from what ive seen at the workshop and also have done a great job on my car.

Just had my 100k service done there.

I can vouch for Mayan, I haven't had my car serviced by him, but Jono is really close to him, Mayan proably has pulled apart Jono's FTO a few times now. I go up to wakefield with Mayan and he doesn't do dodgy work, and he is a nice guy. Price will be probably cheaper then UAS aswell.

Might be worth while you checking it out if it is closer to you..
