They are obviously qualified mechanics yeh? Is it cash only? Might be an option for me next time I'm trying to get cheap quotes on basic things ;)

Just normal mechanical workshops, but more basic and down to earth. No flashy couch or carpet. No free coffee machine.

Qualified mechanics. Jobs get done properly. It's just that they specialise in Falcons (and now Toyotoa hybrids).

Because they have so much specialised Falcon experience, they're quicker than other mechanics.

Yep I screenshot that sh*t Phil! lol I could go to most of those places easily on the weekends...so hopefully some will be open on Saturday's.

Assuming suspension swap out will be a piece of p*ss for them ;) will call to confirm though, thanks for the tip!

Weekend mornings: There's also Chris at Lesmurdie Motor Wreckers. Grumpy bugger, but knows a lot. He also works from 6am on both Saturdays and Sundays.

If it's a suspension swap that you want then call Steve at Bianco Automotive and see if you can book it in with him.

Top info there Phil. Got a list for Sydney..? ;)

I bought a car from Pickles Auctions in Sydney last year and ended up finding a taxi workshop around the corner to a pink slip for a temporary movement permit. I found it by Google searching for taxi workshops in that suburb.

Most taxi management companies have a workshop. There's this list on the Swan Taxis (ie Perth) web site: http://www.swantaxis.com.au/drivers/management_companies.php

Find something similar for Sydney (and other cities).

I had my centre bearing replaced, retubed and bigger uni installed with new yokes for $700

So definitely shop around

Where did you get your tailshaft done?

Needing my centre bearing done and looking to strengthen the tailshaft whilst I'm at it.

 

Anyone else had there tailshaft built/centre bearing replaced in Melbourne?
