Local Wreckers And Workshops

[skyline2148]

Hopefully someone might be of assistance.. i'm from Sydney, currently in melbourne for work over the next couple of weeks and i was unable to service my car before leaving (major service is due) would anyone be able to recommend a quality joint, that won't break the budget? Im staying in St kilda. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks guys this is awesome. I'm moving from Syd to Melb this weekend, and feel like some lost migrant, this will help me great in trying to settle down and finding a trusted person to touch my car.

I'll be in the Preston area for a few months, so if anyone friendly is near by there for a chat about local shops and skylines, I'll be free

I was in the same boat when i moved down to Melb few year ago. Found a workshop called NT Performance Turbocharging that a friend mentioned. Have been going there ever since. Its run by a father and son team, Simon has got to be one of the best tuners i know having been to quite a few! They really know their stuff and they have been around for years !

Here's their contact details, tell them Steve with the R34 GTR gave you their details,
