Reply With QuoteGood news mate! Glad to see there are still mechanics around that will work on cars other than commodores and falcons.
Hello Everyone,
I would just first like to thank Guy for his recommendation on the mechanic (L.A Small Service Centre) in Caulfield (melb)
He has done an excellent job on my astra and he has been a very cost effective solution.
Things I notice this place did for me that no other mechanic I've ever met has:
He allowed me to do payment arrangements (even though I'd never been there)
He dropped a battery off at my house
Picked me up from my house in the morning to pick up the car (he lives a suburb or two away), even set the seat warmers on for me!(drove a BMW 318ci)
Was giving me actual friendly advise on my car, and things I should look out for (actually knew what he was talking about)
Gave me his mobile number if I have any problems
--
I would like to recommend them to anyone in Melbourne who has had some bad experiences with mechanics to give these guys a go. Never had better service!
I personally have had terrible luck with mechanics, but it looks like those days are now over.
Guy27, Thank you!
Bryce
(I've not PM'd you so that everyone can see my plug for the company)

I called up and he quoted $88hr for labor...not bad considering that another well known place tried to charge me $110hr.

most regular places will charge you $80 +gst
most performance places will be a little bit more than that
