NOT MIDAS. When I went to get my discs machined there (I had little choice on a Saturday morning), I heard the guy ring up a customer and tell him that his FTO was ready, "oh and by the way your service will be $50 more than I quoted, because we had to use synthetic oil". ie, he didn't ring up the customer to tell him this before they did the work, it's just something they slapped onto the bill at the end.

He then went into a spiel about how the guy's FTO was an import and had a high revving 4 cylinder 24 valve engine (aren't 24 valve FTO's 6 cylinder?) and therefore needed synthetic and then had a semi-heated argument with the guy trying to prove that he needed to charge him an extra $50. Besides which, $50 should buy you a whole bottle of cheap synth (which they no doubt use), it shouldn't just be the price difference between synth and mineral oil.

Oh, and the pricks wanted $55 just for machining 2 discs. I opened my wallet in disgust and said "I only have $50" showing him the contents. He thought about it for a few seconds and said "Yeah that'll do". I guess I got the bargain of the century! (not). No receipt either so I guess they don't have to pay any tax on that $50.

This only applies to one Midas in particular, pm me if you want to know which one. I've had good dealings with another one of their shops, but play it safe and just don't go to any of them. Many people have had bad dealings with other stores of theirs.

Hey Guys,

I took my car down to Croydon Racing Development (CAS) yesterday, i was really happy with the work they did, professional, explained what was done and why and a resonable price too.

Plus he dyno tune it.........an extra 10 kw.....woohoooo at the wheels.

Call Jim, hes good.

I just had my car serviced at BD4s. I was quite impressed with the service (it was only a minor service). I took it to them once when i had a 180sx also and was pretty happy.

If you do a searh in the NSW forums, I think it has been discussed there before

man we all know how good croydon is, but ive heard that their prices are ridiculous...

how much did you cost you for a minor service and a dyno tune??

Anyone know how good JustJap is???

[yogi000]

At croydon the dyno cost me $160 with a print out and sh*t, and to find and rectify the problem with my knock sensors $300 (re-wire the knock sensors to the ECU).

Aint that bad.

i guess it depends on what you need to get done dude. if you only need to change engine oil and filter then you can do it yourself!?

try proconcepts out at ryde or c&v. i guess it depends on where you live/work and how much convenience you want for when you drop it off and pick it up?

[FLY-SKY]

i dunno what kinda service im after??

what do u guys reckon??

this will be its first service in my hands since compliance so im not sure whats needed
