Who is your mechanic and why?

[Abo Bob]

That's why people should have known it wasn't me.

[B-Man]

Adam - I didn't mean to suggest it was you mate - I hope you know me better than that

[Moanie]

so WHO is it!!!!

[Blitz]

who cares

[krzysiu]

I get a mechanic to do it at his place. He prepares cars for bathurst so i trust he knows what he is doing...

[Moanie]

but there is such mystery!!!!

[sewid]

I like a workshop that has a price list like that..  

belgarage might see me for some work very soon I think

I went out to BEL one day and the guys there all look the part. I dont mean to sound racist but when every single person at the garage is speaking Japanese and there is RB engines in various states all over the workshop and a tricked out S15 in the front you feel like you're in the right place.

Also those guys did Tony's RB25 buildup so he would probably know a bit more about the quality of their work.

I for one can vouch for Ben and Eric from BEL. They are masters when it comes to tuning Jap ECUs.

I have been dealing with Nathan @ Grey Imports as he is doing the ADR'ing on my R32 GT-R. While I can't speak for his his work as yet, I can say that he seem like a top bloke: extremely straight forward, always has plenty of tips, and nothing seems too much trouble.

Cleaning? As if... Its already been cleaned by the professionals at Hobbs Did it still smell bad?

I decided to get Nathan to do the blue slip so its going to be there till its had an oil change and new tyres put on.

just used Bezerkly Automotive today for my 100k timing belt change and brake fluid change.

done a great job, and done it for a great price.

almost everything else i can do on my car myself......(i can do brake fluid, but it was at the shop so i thought might as well get Stuart to do it.

i recomend him to anyone here south of sydney!

I don't think it matters what the hourly rate is.  If they don't know what they are doing then they will take longer.

That doesnt always stand true. What alot of workshops will do is have a set time for certain jobs. Now if the time given for a job is 3 hours but there is a good mechanic who can do it in 2, the workshop will still charge for 3 hours. At the same time they also shouldnt charge more than the 3 hours set tim.. So even if someone knows what they are doingyou still may get charged the same amount of time. Of course this isnt all workshops so i dont know about the places mentioned in the thread.

[Abo Bob]

I know what you mean and you're right but I don't think this happens so much in performance related places. Just my opinion.

:werd: was just gonna say the same thing haha

Have had my car done at Autosport Engineering & UAS before to try and sort a misfire problem but was unsuccessful (Greg @ AE and Ben @ UAS are good blokes tho) - Eric @ BEL ended up sorting it out. Since then all work (read: every single mod lol) and tuning has been entrusted to BEL for both my old car (R32) and my S15.

[MAXIMUS750]

What do you guys think of autosport eng?
