lambo Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Hi there, anyone know of good mechanic that is both in brisbane city area and good in Skylines. I usually go to this shop called Charlie Motor in woologabba. But someone say its not that good. Any recommendation?

Blackness Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Chapman & Chapman in the Gabba Will do a good job but it is at $69/hour ... just check out the cars in the workshop... Depends on what you want to get done so if its a general service do most of it yourself or stick to the guys you know if you think they are good.

bryanlee38 Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 yeah well definitly get DYNO done, any good places u guys can recommend. BTW i heard Chapman and Chapman have no DYno machine, but they simply tune based on the "feeling" they get from driving ur car. Dyno machines would do a better job i presume .... right?

Dyno machines would do a better job i presume .... right? not always true.. i know that I dont like dyno tunes, cos it doesnt really represent what your car is doing on the street. When I was up in qld, I used gavin woods down in labrador (he is the best ). He tuned it just like that, and 12,000kms later I had it on a dyno in Melb, and they were all asking me where I got it tuned as it was perfect... and after 12,000kms too!

rb26dett Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 they do street tunes and they dun just go by how the car feels. they actually know what they're doing, otherwise they'd be out of business won't they?
