Ok so im looking to have work done

major service

custom exhaust work

tuning

problem diaognostics,

gearbox swaps

engine head work.

and the list as always goes on

Im a bit Pissed today at BOOST WORX

now this isnt a rant and they have been good in the past.

however i booked my car in with 2 weeks advance for a much needed service and the illegal screamer piper plumbed in on my 32 daily

on holidays so i could give the car up for a day which is very unusual for me.

i even sked if they have time can they get the thing on the dyno and get it tuned properly which is also much needed and was told yeah no dramas.

i really wanted these things done cos i rely on the car for my income and i do atleast 500km per week.

they had the car for 2 days no communication unless i rang them and nothing happened, the car wasnt touched at all.

they were not prepared to do sat work for me as they were working n bigger projects.the only solution was leave the car their untill monday and they would try to squeze me in maby. was funrious

apparently i dont spend enough money with them to be worth their while these days even though i need to spend thousands somewhere???, didnt even get the oil dropped.

i dont give a f**k if a shop has more interesting work to do, if i book in and pay then i want work done on time and done well.

i have a car with old oil in it an illegal screamer and wrong tune to get to workon now and not happy.

im now back at work in thebarton and need a workshop neer there which someone can vouch for

was thinking of mildrens? i think their mazda specialists?

are they good with nissans and nistunes and general good work?

sprry to the guy i know on these clubs who works their, i do not mean to bag a workshop but i have been left hanging for the second time now and im over it.

give Steve Cramp a ring he doesnt dyno tune but may be willing to do the rest of the mechanicals

i have used him in the past and very very reliable and very close to you

I've heard great things about Steve too, but re Boostworx - your list is rather large, and its not surprising that they might be wanting to get work out of the way before starting on a bigger job like yours. I would be surprised if anyone said that it was going to only take a day, as quite honestly some diagnostic stuff can take several days, and a full decent tune is not a 5 minute job. I've used Boostworx before and they've always done good work to my car so I've never really been bothered when they said they needed to spend more time on it - after all, a rushed job is no good for the business or the owner... quality work needs quality time. Sure you can take it to some other place and git'r'done on the quick but can you rely on that work? The poor man pays twice.

I know its a damn inconvenience when you dont get your car back on time but better to find a quality workshop that gets it right the first time rather than having to return multiple times. My previous workshop took 3 months to do a head gasket repair and refurbish whence they'd quoted 2 weeks - and at that stage it was 50% and I sent it to boostworx to get completed - incidentally they hadnt even started disassembling it so Ruby came and disassembled it for me, the champ that he is

Its not a case of more interesting work but more a matter of first come first served. Sometimes they just happen to get some difficult jobs that were booked out previously, that just happen to blow out their estimates and thats all there is to it. Shit happens

In either case, I'm still happy to use Boostworx, as I'm happy to use Wilall. Manta are 101% quality from what I've heard and I'm sure you'll be satisfied with his work.

^^ quiet true

just think you quote jobs up for people and wrong parts get sent from suppliers you then have to reschedule your whole workshop cause some crackhead cant read a purchase order

Want a job done right you always gotta do it yourself... Do whatever you can on that list that you can do and then a workshop to finish it off

True indeed. Though if you're entirely clueless like me, you need to pay someone to do it for you ;)

Please don't bring Willall Racing into this - we have never performed work on your car. Our booking and completion system is thoroughly organized and professional.

well i didnt have allot of work booked in but allot on the cards,

all i booked was a basic service and a scramer plumbed in,

supprised when i aked if they would have time to do a tune if possible on was told yes,

my point is not to bag its to find a sollution.

i no longer have time or want to spend time trying to get the car to a place where i cannot be garanteed a result.

i need someone with work as good and neer thebarton where i can get my car worked on properly.

anyone know a shop their with nissan experiance

If it helps your cause they have had to push 5 cars back (including mine which I gave the ok) due to the amount of work and commitments they've had over the past 2 weeks. In regards to others Steve Cramp is a big plus and his maticulous - did my dad's Targa based GT-R.

"Bring into this?" - what? I was giving you a recommendation Martin. The only reason you haven't done work on my car is due to the bung clutch that prevented you doing a dynotune. I've had no issues with Willall, nor has anyone I've met - so would you like me to not recommend people to go and see you? Incidentally, I'm still interested in getting a tune sometime. One day when I find the motivation to get things fixed.

got a voicemail today from boost works apologizing for the delay and an offering to help get my car to them around work, glad to know that service is still important, glads to be able to go back to bw too so props for them effort again.

Always nice to know that there are mechanics out there that know what customer service still means. no? ;)

  • 3 weeks later...

also went back to BW and had some of the work done, as awlays hapy with their work.

it is weird having a shop thats not used to strict deadlines and daily driven work hours cars. they dont seem to like having the constraints

Shaun is working some serious hours at the moment. I had my car in for a service last week along with replacing the rear rack ends and front uprights and he was working from 7:30am to 9pm at night. Im pretty sure they are at least one man down at the moment and flat out.

Jaustech.

Great guys, know their shit and have had them put themselves out to help me and mates out in the past. A few weeks ago Anthony came out to tailem bend on a sunday for a private drift day to touch up the tunes on a few peoples cars because their dyno was having issues. if that doesnt speak for commitment i dont know what does.

    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
