supahiro27 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I just read a post by someone asking for a discount, so I thought I'd add my 2c... Simple saying - pay peanuts, get monkeys. Do you ask a Doctor, Accountant or Dentist for a discount??? If you try to tell a competent professional that there knowledge, experience & expertise are not worth paying for, you won't get a good response. You can always get a bargin from the back yard boys... Just don't expect your car to run too well... Details are: Gavin Wood Auto Tech 1/23 Gibbs St Labrador 4215 Ph: 5529 2313 Hope this helps...

Ska Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Well I only just got home to post this review from friday's trip to Gavin's. Well what can I say, awesome, great, freindly, thorough, quality work, great value for money, and the list goes on! Work was finished before I expected it finished too, which was great. I will definatly be going back there! MJ - Very nice wheels! I think I saw you there when I dropped mine off, around 9am you were in the workshop next to yours? Anyway I am very happy with everything about this place, I am surprised that anyone would take thier 'line to see anyone else! Anyway enough of my "sounding like an advertisement" stuff. Take your 'line there and see for yourself! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24652-gavin-woods-auto-tech/page/7/#findComment-667341 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARKAD Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Had my car serviced on Friday week ago at Gavins. 5000k service. Im very happy with how its running. And it was the best value service ive had. I could go into further detail, but anything i could and would say has already been said. It was well worth the trip DOWN from Brisbane.

Ska Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 OH almost forgot, I had a really bad idle problem and when I took it in asked them to take a look at it and they said that they found some stuff and fixed it but there was still a slight idle problem, that needed a bit more repairs to address. No way, it idles properly now, I still will address the other issues though, but it just amazed me for them to say that there was a slight idle problem, which there probably is a very very very very small one, but now it's all sweet, dont have to worry about keeping it between 2k & 3k rpm when I stop at lights!

Ska Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 OH and it was also good to see that the receptionist knew exactly what she was talking about and was able to explain it to me in dummy terms so that I could understand it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24652-gavin-woods-auto-tech/page/7/#findComment-669381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NismoGirl Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I had idle problems as well. Gavin did a "throttle body learn" basically reset the idle and throttle body setting and it worked. But I had the same scenario. I had really bad fluctuating volts through the car. On the data streamer it was going up and down like a heart monitor. It was sooo funny. It was like an operation. All three mechanics under the bonnet, watching the monitor, while Amanda and I sat behind the window and watched. I pissed myself later it was soo funny. Anyway, ended up being the power supplies (IIRC) their are 6 and only 2 were working. Or something. Can't really remember now.

Ska Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 My problems were related to a clogged fuel filter and the incorrect hose size (too small) being used on the MAP sensor, but I also have a small exhaust leak which could be contributing to it, apparently..... but after a good tweak she humms along and does not miss a beat!
