Need Import Friendly Workshops For Import (r32)

[pipster11]

Hi guys,

just got a 32 and need a few things done

Prob could do with a propper service and i has no tools so will need a name for servicing + also maybe re-install of aircon (was removed by previous owner)

need the suspension re-doing (coilys winding up and alignment and tweak for more grip etc.)

and need a good auto elec who knows about car alarms as i need the viper alarm in the car looking at and the door trigger wiring in

so if you know of a good workshop you can recomend in Launceston i'll be very glad to hear

Thanks,

Tom

Wayne Nichols at Parkside automotive.

70 Bathurst St Lonnie

He prepares my R32 gtst circuit car and is fantastic.

He also has a great auto elecy on site

He's probably the most competitive on price... some others are soooo expensive

Its Ron's Automotive for me! He does a real good job and actually CARES about his work

[pipster11]

well the service is going to have to be pretty extensive

will be getting all the fluids changed including ps and hicas (unless i get a lock bar sorted)

need a proper alignment and ride heights changing, camber adjusted etc etc

Rocket_Rosco - what exactly does he do race prep wise? engine tuning, suspension, corner weighting, or just general servicing?

Everything excluding the Dyno tune

how is he price wise?

and how badly does he mark up prices of oils etc? (would it be cheaper for me to but what i want him to change?)

Sorry for the long time to reply, have been away from the computer for days.

for an example, Ford charged one of Wayne's new customers $355 for a basic service on a EB Falcon and didn't even fill up the windscreen washer bottle. Wayne quotes $120 for the same service and he does it properly.

Give him a call with all the things you'd like done and he'll give you an idea of price.

thanks for that mate, may have to wait a week or two so i have enough cash to get him to do everything i need but i think i'll give him a try

Rons automotive, I have never seen a normal car in his work shop, all's that they seem to do is work on imports, which must tell you something. they are all to happy to help and dont charge through the roof.

boost automotive, i was there today putting the car over the pits and looking around and talking to the guy they seemed to have it all worked out,

If i was taking my import some where to get worked on, it would be one of these two places, yes there are other good mechenics out there but you want some one who works on them all the time and not just guessing on what they are doing

thats my two bob worth and why is my spell checker not working any more?????

[ian_and1]

just pop around to a few of the mentioned places and have a talk to them, see who you like the best

[pipster11]

thanks guys

looks like the abs unit is on the way out so the full service will have to put on hold

anyone know anywhere who is good with brakes and things?

i just need somewhere that can take the abs unit apart and put new seals in (can provide them if need be)

[DJRIFT]

Tas Brakes are they guys to go to about brakes. they are on the corner of margaret and fredrik? street.

Simon in there is very very pedantic and i have never seen or heard a bad thing about them.

[pipster11]

well i might pay him a visit
