V-Spec Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) Just picked up a mates gtst for a pittance but it needs some serious attention mechanically I used to take my GTR to RE customs but it looks like their phone is off, ill go by their after work to see if they're still open Can someone recommend a good reliable but reasonably priced workshop in the south east i can get it towed to, cant trust the drive, rather spend on a tow than damage the hydraulic / power steering system and cooling system. ive read on hear about sabbadin automotive being ok, would like other suggestions, will try speak to both these people after work today thanks in advance Rich Edited May 15, 2013 by V-Spec Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/425285-just-bought-a-32-where-are-some-good-but-reasonably-priced-workshops-in-the-south-east/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunkist Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I thought otr is a supplier? Sabbadin is great!

Birds Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I thought otr is a supplier? Sabbadin is great! Chasers would be my bet They have a workshop...they do very cheap work. My turbo install was $280 including removal and replacement of broken exhaust manifold studs.

Leroy Peterson Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 RE customs moved shop to a few factories down. my run-ins with them over the last 12 months have not been positive. +1 for sabbadin, also Ace Dyno + workshop in clayton is round that area. Anthony is a good guy.

htial Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Brad from RE now works at RTR in Dandenong. I had them do a wheel bearing and a service and we had the Member Renewal / Dyno Day there.

Sabbadin also do great work, I don't imagine them being as cheap as OTR though. yeh sabbadin arent the cheapest, but you definitely pay for a good job done. hes worked on all of my cars. Ive taken birds advice and organized things with OTR Rich nice! i never knew they did service work, definitely wouldve gone to them if I knew Brad from RE now works at RTR in Dandenong. I had them do a wheel bearing and a service and we had the Member Renewal / Dyno Day there. I'll be going back for sure. RTR is great, great mechanics there, but are a little expensive.
