Brisbane Area - Car service - Trusty Mechanic
Hi, i live the North side, my car, it could do with a check over, oil and filter change, maybe front brake pads, just and general service and safety check, preventative maintenance etc. Anyone know of a trusty mechanic or someone you have used and would recommend.
I used to have a guy in the UK, dropped it off, he would run everything by me prior to any work carried out.
If you have used or know someone, i would be much appreciative, i do not want to take it to a main dealer, or a kwik fit type center.Thanks

Try Tony at Mr Rotary , he's at Everton Park , he did an outstanding rebuild of an RX7 Fc3c motor for me or Grant at Mercury Motorsport , they used to tune a WRX I had , well , they're both good shops.

In my experience you'll get a fair price, for sure.

I switched from a main dealer to ktas. They service on Saturdays which was the main attraction for me. They do just as good a job in my opinion and cheaper too.

Anyone ever used the above in Albion? $150 bucks for an oil and filter change and a once over i guess? Is that a fair price or is it expensive?
Also what would you expect to pay for front brake pads renewal?
Thanks
