Hi all,

Which workshops in the Sydney area would you guys recommend, for servicing and buying parts for your car? The following are workshops I've either heard of or dealt with a little:

Powerplay Imports (Drummoyne)

JustJap (Kirrawee)

Unique Autosports (Seven Hills)

I'm after:

Knowledgeable service and advice

Friendly service

Efficient service and parts delivery

Returns phone calls

Professionalism in working on my car

Reasonable prices charged for parts and service

I know the above things are more or less the same but occasionally one or more of these things are completely absent from one or more of the aforementioned workshops

Any help greatly appreciated

Matt

There's no such thing as a workshop/parts supplier with an impeccable record. Your best bet is to use the search functionality to review the many many other threads that cover the same topic.

Matt, these questions seem to get asked every other week, and almost everyone has differing opinions and their own list of preferred workshops or suppliers to deal with.

The workshops you have already mentioned are all well known and respected, and one of them is a prominent trader on this very forum.

There are a few more great places in my signature which you can add to your list :D

Thanks for the fast reply and the helpful response Blitz

Guess I'm just a bit frustrated with the service from some of the shops I've been to and while I'm not necessarily after a workshop with an impeccable record I just wanted to see what other places people were using and would recommend and you have listed some so thanks, i will check out the other guys you've referred to.

Apologies for asking a newbie question.

Matt

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
