Goldcoast Wreckers / Workshops

[mindflux]

Well after a short struggle to find a few decent workshops, I sumbled accross these few and thaught others may be interested in their services.

Wreckers

=======

Japanese Auto Spares

20 Taree Street Burleigh Junction

* This Yard is HUGE and possibly the most organised and cleanest (sp?) wreckers i have EVER come accross, Frank has everything you need and nothting you dont. They specialise is EVERY japnese import. The service i recived from them was no short of amazing. and the range of stock is unbelivable

Painters

======

Wizard Smash Repairs

* I have visited Joels paintshop a few times now, and have noticed his paint work to be the best 'Bang for Buck' work i've seen on the goldcoast, Speaking with Joel he admitted he loves to play with colours and pearls. Very easy to get along with

Thats Currently the workshops that ive delt with and have gotten my thumbs up, especially Japanese Auto Spares, I was blown away when I walked into their shop.

yes i agree japanese auto spares is very good. I have walked through their warehouse and its massive as you said very organised and great prices. The guy that looked after me was very good, he was an old bloke i cant remember his name but hes very friendly.

They also have lots of parts for uncommon imports like sera's, gtir's, fto's

Cheers

sweet mate.. thanx for posting that. Stuff like that is always invaluable.

Which reminds me: there should be a sticky for useful places/workshops/skyline useful places for QLD where stuff like this can go.

[mindflux]

Can a moderator get some glue on this please?

[lite]

hey.. how much is it to get a whole car repainted? id call but i cant rite now. and im all the way up at brisbane. id hav to go there on a weekend or something.

[mindflux]

He works tomorrow, give him a call

because prices vary

[Ska]

Anyone needing a towie should call this guy:

"Big Steve" 0418 621 495

He just towed my car from my home to Gav at an awesome pice and was very nice and overall the service was 9/10 he lost a point because he didnt drop everything and towed my car right then and there when I asked him to

But yeah Very nice, if I ever need one again, I'll be going to him!

Towtruck drivers are a funny breed.

I remember pricing towtrucks when I destroyed my clutch and there was a wide variety of pricing for exactly the same job.

I even asked one guy what he did extra that was worth $30.00 more than someone elses quote, to which he told me to **** off and use the cheap dude.

Fantastic way of staying in business there.

Mind you I guess they are towtruck drivers cause life wasn't gunna give them a lot of other options with that kind of attitude

[Ska]

Well this guy was not your average driver, he was actually courteous on the phone, went out of his way to help me out and didnt mind doing a little bit of running around, hence my reckomendation

[Nexus9]

I also had the guy who came and towed my car, proceed to tell me how shit RB engines are compared to anything Holden has put out in the last 30 years.

I was like WTF, do you even know what you are talking about?

And he said "yes son I was a mechanic for 20 years so I know all about engines and he said they are designed to break down".

After I picked myself up from the ground from laughing I pretended to agree with him as he was starting to get a bit narky.

Once I assured him that yes Holden has made the best engines in the world, he calmed down a bit

[mindflux]

Towies can be funny at times...

My father owned a tow truck business for like 20 something years down in sydney, and he was soooo respected. everyone knew who he was. all the cops all the other towies..

i remeber one time this new guy from rival company rocked up to an accident my father was already at and and told me dad to get ****ed bla bla and took the job off him.

the kid didnt tow for that company 24 hours later

the best bit was the fact that because he was so respected it carried on to the family name.. i use to be the crazy burnout king back in my day, anywhere any time i would bag em up.. and not once did a copper come and have a word to me..

got caught speeding 2 times both, doing 32 and 45 over .. told i was lucky my old man is well respected in the area and to piss off back home for the night

hehe

Can also vouch for Wiazard smash. Got joel to do abit of panel beating and respray on my car, the results are just absoultely perfect! He seems to get alot of ppl wanting resprays, mainly because the quality of work is so high. And prices are much much better then other places.

"I was a mechanic for 20 years so I know all about engines and he said they are designed to break down".

Well der? All NISSAN engines are designed to break down...

What a toss...

[knore]

Holden engines may not fail, but everything around them does, oil/water pump, power steering .. everything

have countless friends who have said 'man dont buy a skyline all they do is break down' when all of them have spent more than the cars worth fixing shit

i havent spent $1 on something thats broken, cos nothing has!

[JaseR33]
