Default 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.

FJ Manning Motor Repairs, stafford. Exactly what you are looking for. My old neighbour recommended the place to me, as he has been friends with the owner for many years. I think the owner's son now runs the place.

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
