Hi all... Just moved down to Sydney from Central Coast/Newcastle and now I need to find a new mechanic close by. I live in Hills District and work around Norwest so something close to that or open Saturdays would be best...

Does anyone have any suggestions where to take my R33 to get a service/new clutch/etc?

Thanks in advance.

MRC in Castle Hill have looked after me. Mark is a great guy always helpful. Unlike some of the other workshops with a lot of less experienced boys working for them Mark and John do all the work themselves taking the risk out of it

The best mechanic by far in the Hills District is Mark at MRC in Castle Hill. He was the only person that used to touch my R32 GTR and now my R34 GTR! He explains everything so you understand whats going on. Im an extremely fussy person and there have never been a time where i was dissappointed in him!

96345399. Contact number for MRC-Mark

I have a friend who lives at West Pennant hills, she is looking for a trustworthy, honest mechanic to service her BMW. I think she might feel a bit funny going to a "performance" workshop, and I get the feeling they would probably be a bit pricier. Any recommendations?

Cheers

Ask her if she knows the Woolworths/Caltex Underneath Cherrybrook Village, the workshop has been there for 20 years, they do it right by the book for normal cars and Euros. I wouldn't take an import there though for anything more than oil change, one of the mechanics used to own a r33 GTR but he has since left. There are no other decent shops in Hills area.

To the OP,

+1 for Unigroup

tell your friend parramatta prestige

in north parramatta

not too far and pretty much the cheapest place in sydney for euro parts (asv is probably the cheapest) though the labour charge at parramatta is a lot more cheaper if you do parts + labour and there pretty honest about the work. Would not recomend anyone else for bmw's.

Also living in West Pennant Hills, i would honestly not take it to anyone nearby (not sure about the guys in castle hill as ive never dealed with them)

but i live nearby and take my car 30-60 mins away for any work done on it (have had minor bad experiences with few mechanics in the area, and most other mechanics prices are a joke if you want anything more than a basic service)

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
