Brookvale Mufflers And Mechanical

[craked]

I've been there six or so times before, and never been fully happy with any of the work. I'm not trying to diss the thread, but if anyone I cared about asked me, i'd advise them not to bother.

Twice on the one system the hangars snapped clean off, another time the hangar was sharp with welding bits that cut through the rubber hooky-thing.

Once when I was there, another customer with a Prelude was having his exhaust changed, and they welded the rear muffler on at an angle (like... 5 degrees counter-clockwise)... the customer pointed it out, so the installer got two long pieces of metal rod and stuck one in each hole of the new twin muffler and then bent one up and one down until the tips roughly lined up with each other.

After that guy left and they were still dicking around with MY car, he turns to me and says something to the effect of "F*&king picky, or what?"

Never went back after that. I tried my luck with Cromer exhaust... but they were about the same with their workmanship.

My mechanic tells me that there isn't any decent exhaust places on the North Shore, and that's why i've never had a reliable exhaust.

Oh well. I'm not saying everyone will get that kind of lack of attention to detail or pride in their work, but I feel it's my duty to share. =-]

People should be more careful about what they post on public forums - could ruin a business' reputation/...

Yeah fair enough, I thought it was worth mentioning though as that car is part of the recommendation and the owner of that car hasn't had a good run with them.

It's not so much them he has had a problem with, it is the entire project as a whole...

But as if a 1000+HP Supra is ever going to come together without a hitch...

Trust me, no one (except the owner ) wants this finished more then i do

Well the boys have done it again ! Farkin awesome service and price.

They put the race tranny in - then realised that the flex plate needed modification and GB mounts were busted - so out came the box, fixed everything up good as gold !

Then - put a new Master cylinder/ABS unit on - had a tricky problem with an ABS fault - then no power assistance after the new unit went in. Spent a good while figuring it all out (no one knows how Cosmo's work - but these guys do now)

I was adding up the hours they spent on the car and went there with a pocket full of cash to pay them - ended up being HALF what I expected to pay ! Just awesome !

I just can't be happier with these guys ! I was impressed before - and now I am even more impressed !

Nice I was at the shop today

Making sure shit was still going ahead with the owner of the supra...

You need to get your steering wheel re-upholstered

i know - did i see u there ? i was there most of the day today

[B-Man]

PS - I think I saw the supra block - it's prepped and o-ringed

[DRD-00F]

And has a huge gash in cylinder 3!

I dunno, were you working on a car? cause when i went there, there were only 3 people, Andrew being one, the others I haven't met...

One was putting an SR20 into an RA22... what an abomination

the other was working on the zorst (i assume) of an S2000...

[B-Man]

I was working on my car - but I had to duck home for a bit, so may have missed you . That was Jamie working on the Celica. The S2000 needed a new clutch I think

Fu(king loving my new box !

[DRD-00F]

I dunno, I've met Jamie before, that really didn't look like him

Wait, is that Jamies car? I think it's been way too long since I've been there...

Last time i saw it he just hooked up a turbo...

[B-Man]

Nah it's a young blokes car - maybe it was him that you say working on it....
