Brisbane Mechanics And Rough Cost

[Goodwin]

Hey guys, so I just bought my first GTR. Needs its 100,000k service can anyone recommend a shop around the Hendra area and give me a general idea of how much a 32 GTR 100,000k service is?

Thanks in Advance.

Hendra is not too far from Newmarket...

Mercury were advertising some special on 100k skyline servicing recently on facebook...

Its probablly the closest to you that has a good rep & very involved in the scene...

otherwise the rest of the good shops are on the southside...

imo dont go to mercury..

imo dont go to mercury..

care to provide a little more info?

Mercury quoted me 1600 to do the service didn't know if that was about the right price or not.

[defari]

send me a pm if you want more info.. maybe it was just me who got bullshit service from mercury on 2 separate occasions..

[RandomHero83]

Not the only one with a bad experience there.

Always take my 34 here. He also imports and does quite a few import work but isn't really big named here on SAU.

I got quoted 1600-1800 for same job at a few other known places here on SAU

Recommend you speak to Ben/Rob at East Coast Customs

they are in Kedron and are mad kents

I would contact ERD as my first port of call

+ 526 for ERD.

Currently rebuilding my engine

Dan is awesome to deal with, doesn't bullshit you and doesn't rip you off.

You get that you pay for and you can trust it.

I have been to 4 different shops 1 apparently "big" in the scene. All I got was trouble.

I split my work up between

ERD for Mechanical

EFI for Tuning.

imo dont go to mercury..

For every 100 happy customers there generally a few unhappy ones...

That goes for any business...

Mercury have been up and down over the years, they even f**ked over the club once...

but thats all in the past... the entire staff has changes over in the past 2-3 years...

I was just advising on whats close by as per the 'OP'

I was thinking GT Auto also, but feared the quote price so didnt mention them...

As for $1600 @ Mercury... Go fish...

If it were me id DIY, but then if you've never done one before than dont try...

Dan (ERD) will be the fairest on price i think, he is southside tho which is why i didnt mention him...

I assume you wanta drop off the car local, then cab it to work and come back for it same day or next day?

[defari]

True - i just felt as though i gave them money and didnt get much in return such as customer service / quality of the work done.

I didnt want to post up exactly what happened, i wish mercury all the best for the future, but i certainly wont go back..

[lilcrash]

I paid $666 for a 100k service at erd, is the rb26 really that much different?

Yeah i understand... i felt the same way about a few others who are no longer in business (which is good)...

[maclarenf1]

i just did my 100,000K service at ERD (R34 GTR)

and i can safely say it a less than $1600... lot less....

i did get the SAU QLD Club discount

Give Dan a ring

my 100K at ERD

- Gates racing belt kit

- idler bearing

- 10W40 oil "Dan asked me type of oil from range all synthetic stuff

- Water pump

- he also did a compression check and vehicle inspection

Edit - forgot also did all the diff, break and other oils as this was first major service since i imported it from jap land.

Wow - this forum is fantastic... everyone is so helpful and comes through with quality information...

My R33 GTS-T has had its 200K service done but just needs a minor service and I want a few things checked over to make sure she's 100%... Gonna give ERD a call today because they seem to have a good rep... And thanks to Goodwin for asking my question 2 days ago lol...
