Best place for a service, Gold Coast

[bludbunny]

Hi guys

My car is up for a service soon, and since I think I need a proper tune up (ie. maybe can get more power) and the car has a couple of niggling probs, I will take it to a mechanic.

Where in the Gold Coast (pref. Bundall, Ashmore area) is the best place to get a decent service, tune and check - where they will listen to you and actually check out the probs? I have taken my car for a couple of services now to one place and they never listen to what I ask them to check - ie. the noises are still there, still idles rough, gear slips, belts squeal at high revs etc etc.

Any help would be appreciated!

cheers,

Brett

id like to suggest 'Gavin Wood Auto Tech' (nissan specialist)

they do SKYLINE's daily and when you go past you can usualy see a GTR or some other form of imported NISSAN... they are a friendly helpful bunch and have serviced my car... i think a few people on these forums get serviced there?

decent prices too

1/23 Gibbs street, Labrador 4215 (kinda close to sub zero)

PH: 5529 2313

hope i helped... bye :burnout:

I can 2nd Gavin Woods. I think his labour is a bit more expensive, but hes so damn quick that you end up saving money.

I had a new engine put in my car by him. Took him 1 day. Hasnt missed a beat in the last 15,000kms and mechanic in melbourne said who ever tuned it last time did a great job.

Nizman, sky|ine and NismoGirl all use him I think.

[Nizman]

yes, I have ...wont take my baby anywhere else!!

[Guest Alfadog]

About Gavin - does he specialise in all Nissans or only the new stuff or only the imported stuff?

Thanks

[Nizman]

he services all cars, but specialises in ALL nissans

[NismoGirl]

OI...

I suggest Gavin. If I hadn't had been there none of yous would know about him!!

*I* suggested gavin woods in the first place and told all these mofo's to go there.

GAVIN GAVIN HE'S OUR MAN... IF HE CAN'T DO IT.. NO ONE CAN.

I should get big discounts for this hey

[SmoothLine]

I was about to ask this same question myself.... thanx

Also, anyone know where u can get rims repaired really well? After mine got hit i had it rolled out again and came up ok, just need the scratches patched... anyone know somewhere?

[Nizman]

ha ha, your the woMAN nismogirl!

[Nizman]

anyone know where u can get rims repaired really well

There is two places on the coast I've utlised for wheel painting and repair, try Mr Whitewalls in Southport or Depuli (misspelt)in Ashmore

[NismoGirl]

Karl,

I see your car is still for sale in his window??

My car will be staying a few nights down there with Gavin for a sleep over.

Well I'm telling the car that so he doesn't get scared

YES.. I'M NUTS!!

[Nizman]

hahaha Hi Erin, yeah it is still for sale but I'm just not keen to sell it!

whats Gavin doing to your baby?

[NismoGirl]

Uhm.. :Paranoid: The diff broke :innocent:

HOPEFULLY after this it won't demand any more attention!

It's costing me quite a bit to get it fixed cause its a rare car/diff.

I can't just walk into any wreckers and say "gimme a diff"

[Guest pondy]

I've found that 'maggit' on ferry road are good for mags, but a few sets from him over the last few years. I know he does repairs, and i'm pretty sure he does alloy rims. Prices dont seem to be too bad either.

[NismoGirl]

I should take my mags to him when I get some spare money!

Like that will ever happen!

[bludbunny]

Car is booked in for a service tomorrow - will let you all know what I think tomorrow night.

[NismoGirl]

You'll see my beast still there.

I'm picking it up some day. When I have time to get from Brisbane to the coast before they close

[bludbunny]

Ahhh must be the white one with personalised plates in there.

If they can fix my slipping gears (mine is an auto) I will be happy - last guy got asked to look at it on three different occasions and never did.

[dAVE]

yeh, mr whitewalls seems good. Ross bought new wheels from there and they cleaned up under warranty. They now look better than new. Im taking my soarer wheels there as soon as i get some cash.

[Guest sky|ine]

Erin - Nice to see your diff is finally fixed. Bet you cant wait to get out of brutis and back into the 33.
