no option for both...

Calibra - aside from major mechanical stuff that i dont have the tools/machinery for, i do everything myself

Audi - i like having a stamped logbook. mod's i'll do myself though.

Both option
Did the brake myself months before, and the rest of the job done by Holden.

Do you guys trust Holden dealer to services your car?

I have serviced all my cars after the warranty runs out on them, now I couldn't be bothered :(....just take them to the dealer, hand over the doh and drive it:D

Myself !

Anything I can't handle or when specialist tools/equipment is required and for service book logs, it's off to my cousins full mech workshop :)

Hmmm yeah I have had probs with the Holden dealership workshops when the car was under warranty but now I just do it all myself including the cam belt and water pump,plus only because I am knowledgeable about the mechanics otherwise I wouldn't touch it ...........Holden are charging about $950 for the cam belt change I think ,correct me if I'm wrong somebody:confused:

OK, laugh if u will, BUT... I have Drift King at Geebung service my car... they are good at what they do, and they take the extra time to do everything right because they're used to dealing with touchy top-end sky-rices... I felt like a wank going there, but, and a very big but, they are the first ppl to go over EVERYTHING in my car, tell me exactly what does and doesn't need doing, and shave the price... I spent $2000 getting my car running better than when it came out of the factory, and they identified problems that others haven't / couldn't... and additionally other things that I was told that needed to be done didn't really... i.e. someone told me that the brakes needed to be replaced, new rear discs and new pads all round... I had it checked and was informed that the brake cable butterfly bolt and nut assembly needed adjustment only and I had plenty of meat on my brakes... they even did it for free and showed me how much pad was left on my shoes...
