Good Mechanic recommendations!
 
I know, does one exist ;)

The car I bought recently is great, but it has a unknown cambelt history. I'd like to get it changed sometime soon (by Xmas at the latest) and so starting to think about pricing it up.

I'd want to get belt, tensioners etc. replaced and possibly waterpump. Its something I'd usually have a go at myself, but really can't be bothered ;)

Its a Mitsubishi Legnum 1.8L... nothing fancy.

Can anyone recommend anyone out towards Titirangi/Glen Eden? Somewhere else further afield isn't a problem either...

Anyone have a rough idea of price? I do for the UK... but not NZ!

Cheers.

Either no-one has the car serviced or no-one knows of a good mechanic!

Sorry to be negative but the first time I had my car serviced in Ngaruawahia they didnt tighten the wheel nuts and I wobbled all the way home. They either forgot or didn't like my accent. My F-in-L was so furious that it made the local papers.

Hope you find a good'un.

Do you own/work for them?

What would be a ball-park figure for this work? I'll probably put it off until the next WOF, and grab a new set of front tyres at the same time :thumbup:

Drop me your rego number in a PM and I'll let you know the cost.....and yes, I work for them....

Edit. We also do tyres, so if you know the size, I'll cost that as well.
