Gavin Woods Auto Tech

[NismoGirl]

Normal services are anywhere from $100 - $150... But I always break my car so theres something else to fix so it's never just $150

[unwritten law]

i might get him to fix my exhaust manifold studs (there is two missing). Seems like he knows lines pretty well so he wont have to charge lots of hours, and it will be done right first time too. I am going to make the trip down there...

[NismoGirl]

They are on holidays at the moment.

They will be back on the 29th of September 2003

Man Gavin should give us discount rates or something with the amount of free plugs he gets on here!

Erin, tell him we want $35/hr labour rate. That'll bring the bill down when you break your car too!

[NismoGirl]

He has to make a living somehow!

[Skyrine-Dave]

after not being happy with my cars current tune and performance i too will be taking my car back to the place who did the conversion and wire up.. Gavin Woods Auto Tech...

Should hopefully make use of my new injectors and turbo

[japtaxi]

I'm currently in the progress to make gavin rich

[Nizman]

Japtaxi, I thought I already had

[Gester]

He did do good work for me too but for Dyno Tuning it isn't cheap as he has to use someone else's. It was like $200 just for the Dyno Time and $150 for his fee.

[slip]

Bah, hes getting free advertising, he can afford it

[NismoGirl]

How else is he going to get business unless he gets good word of mouth??

It's the way business' work.

They don't like blowing their own horn, so I do it for them

[Cake]

in Perth eh? He got a shop here?

i want him to touch my car!

[NismoGirl]

He was over there doing some tuning for a company.

I'll be going down to Gavs next friday (they dont know this yet )... I'll let him know that he needs trained people to open up shops in other states

[knore]

Impressed.

Is all i can say at the moment, I dont think ive ever seen so many props for a workshop/mechanic ever.

I live in brisbane, just got my 94 gtst (will start thread soon to show her off ) and shes on 98,000km so i need FULL 100,000 service soon.. ie timing belt, transmission fluid, oil, plugs,some tubes replaced etc

Ide say ill be taking it to this place

Anyone have an estimate on how much a full 100,000 service is?

Ive got about $500 to spend at the moment, but still saving

[nismoman18]

he quoted me $180 i think it was for timing belt!

[NismoGirl]

I got the 100000km service not long ago with EVERY fluid changed, Spark plugs, timing belt, check other belts, re oil filters. I got mine done in two parts with a few other things checked as well and I'm pretty sure it cost me below $500. But as I said, I got a few other things done as well. I'll try and find the receipts and let you know. Come to think of it I think it was around the $400 mark because I remember having $400 left over from my loan refinance

[dAVE]

I remember when i went to gavin, he was about $10 hour more than the other workshops, but he knows his shit, does the job in half the time.,.. and ususally does a pretty good job too.. i know dave can be slack sometimes tho..

[NismoGirl]

Dave?

As in Dave that worked there? David?

[Zoix]

ok i need to get my right window motor replaced, the odometer fixed as its stuck. the fuel gauge is saying its full untill the last 10ls then starts to go to E.

so this guy would be good to do this?

[dAVE]

Erin, as in David who works there... or worked there?

Ross and I had a discussion and we found a few things that they had slacked off in services... little things like sump plug washers etc.. no biggy, but still annoying when u love a place so much.
