Funnily enough, I was at a certain ford dealership last week and saw some mechanics just come back with a typhoon saying how hard it went. I was not impressed, the dude didn't look old enough to drive.

I am taking my car to my own mechanic, screw using ford, they all sound dodgey.

fark that wouldnt surprise me at all !!!

I even get my tyres changed/balanced/aligned at my mates Tyre Factory shop - they dont even drive the car and I dont have to ask them not too !! plus cheap tyres are a bonus mwahaha

I dont know how much it helps having a good rapport with a particular person at a service centre, but I always deal with Matt from centre ford. He has always given me a good price and if there was ever a problem it was solved (someone hit a kerb in my car, they couldnt prove it was them but they fixed it in good faith)

Then again, I have sent Chris there a couple of times and they have quoted a high price. I dont know why or what the difference was, but I guess if you get on side with them they look after repeat business.

I also know the parts guy pretty well there (Peter).

As for centre ford, Peter the parts manager is a friggn legend!! Top bloke and could not speak more highly of him. The sales team and management (including service manager) are also friggn tops

Well my old man previously part owned centre ford and I would have previously always recommended their service because they WERE very good. For general service I would say they are satisfactory, but if you have technical issues go elsewhere, probably Titans.

Centre fords ability to resolve small issues with my car has been pretty poor of late.... to the point where I have taken the car off them and fixed it myself. I haven't asked but I suspect they have probably lost some good mechanics to the mines or something??

Had my Typhoon into McInernenenenthingy yesterday:

- Subwoofer replaced under warranty, good.

- Bonnet catch replaced under warranty, good.

- Brake pipes recall work not done as no parts available, need to come in again, poor.

- Replace missing Ford badge on front, $45.05.

How much for the Blue oval, I mean what the feck???

- Will be using Nang3's mechanic for the 30k service coming next month..

I use ULTRA TUNE in Joondalup for all log book stuff and they have been doing a few XR's of late (some modded, some not) BUT most importantly I 110% trust the mechanic (whos also a good mate) to do the right thing and look after my car and he always does

Its hard to get him though cause hes now studying teaching at uni. I wouldnt have a problem with anyone else doing it their but I plan on sticking with him so I just fit it in when he has time..

I'll happily let him take it all day and I've always told him if he needs or wants to drive it hes more than welcome to. Powers not an issue with him as he has a modded WRX (he secretly likes the XR's though!) and I know if anything was to go wrong it would be sorted ASAP.

I suppose like everything car related. Find a good mechanic, build a trusting relationship and communicate lots!

Used ADT Mobile Mechanics (As recommended above by Ross) for the first time this week for my Typhoon's 30k service.

Allan turned up on time, did a great job, stamped my book, and presented me with a bill fractionally under $200.

Am I pleased - Oh yes!

[Infamous]

Got a number? Does he do both North & South of the river?

[Rob (F6)]

ADT Mobil Mechanics - Allan Tanner

His phone number is 0414 673 944

- might be worth letting him know that the recommendation comes from Ross (Nang3) / this site.

Don't know how far he travels..

Cheers,

Rob
