Where to go for Servicing in S.A

[Envisage]

Howdy all,

I was just wondering where all you guys take your "Cars" for service, i dont personelling need a service lol..

Anyways, i have a R34 as you some of you know and just wondering where some of the others with 34's take their cars to get serviced. It would be greatly appreciated..

RPM / nissan unley / boostworx if u live down south

or

tilbrook / morepowa up the north

hope that's help

[Chris32]

Agree with Maxx

I'd save the cash and do the oil etc yourself, and leave the bigger and more PITA stuff for those mentioned above

Well AJ like i said PVP but thats up to you, i'd also go with Maxx though.... MORPOWA gets

my thumbs up they have been the ones doing my car since i have owned it.

I had been very happy with Morpowa until recently. Last service they put the wrong spark plugs in my 200SX making it blow spark when on boost (which I replaced with $100 worth of Platinums after they fouled in about 50km), they charged me like a wounded bull for the service and to top it all off the nearly $3,000 dodgy twin plate clutch I got off them almost 3 months ago still isn't fixed or replaced, and it seems like they don't want to get off their asses and fix an obviously ****ed clutch. I last spoke with them about 2 weeks ago and haven't heard back about a solution. Doesn't seem like they are at all keen to save pride/face and get it fixed in a hurry. A couple of other performance places that have had a quick look at it and a drive were actually embarrassed for Morpowa, having shoddy work like that unfixed. Hopefully soon they can fix it and I will actually be able to drive my car without almost stalling it every time I pull up to the lights.

Tilbrooks are fantastic - can't say enough good things about Mark and the boys. Except that they are alwasy so darn busy - but I guess that's a sign of a great workshop.

/end rant

Depends what you need done, but the lads at GT autosound are fairly handy with the spanners.

[slyr33]

I agree wit MattR bout GT Autosound.

But most of my stuff i get done at PVP Imports.

I want to try out Boostworx but it sounds like a long drive..... I'd like to know if its worth the drive cos i may try them out.

I live in Tennyson WestLakes so its going to be a drive where ever i go. Till brooks or PVP sound the goods.

I know this sounds stupid, but i want to know.. you can take it to Nissan can you?

yeah, but make sure you take your own oil, as they use semi-synthetic unless you specify a type of oil to be used

[Pawley]

my gtr has actually been serviced at unley nissan a number of times before i purchased it.

craig is the parts consultant there and reno (? i think) the service manager. both great guys to deal with.

[Envisage]

i have 5w 40 i beleive Mobel 1.. seems to be the goods

okay i might give nissan a shot just to see

[skipppy]

just thought i would add, i have a great guy who works on my car is cheap trustworthy top bloke. Doesnt have all your electronics gismo's but has good eye. Big toyota fan but thinks nissan are ok, done lot of custom intercooller work and hand fab turbo mounts and stuff

just recently did timng belt on my car no probs at all, nothing i would not trust him with.

pm me for his details, dont think he would want his name posted everywhere.

can remember as a kid (15-16 )going to his workshop and he took a car for a test run in a car he was working on and let me go in it scariest ride every. Was a kb laser turbo running 20 psi on methonol

[MADGT4]

Craig at Unley nissan is great i must admit i've never had a service with them but we deal with him a fair bit and he is nothing but helpful in any and every way possible.

I will most certainly vouch for Shaun at Boost Worx. He has a lot of Skyline knowledge and takes the time to do the job right! It's all well and good to have the knowledge and ability, but it's sooo much more important that the workshop/mechanic that works on your car applies it! Shaun does. His prices are very sensible too.

Sorry to post-whore....Matt, I was flat out at work until late and had get home for dinner with some people so couldn't make it to BstWrx this arvo. Did you head there?

[EnricoPalazzo]

Sorry to hear of ur troubles Andrew. i can provide muscle if u want the problem fixed quicker

[MattR]

Andrews need muscle he is too lazy to sort out the problem, the sooner he gets it fixed the better

[Nightcrawler]

replace lazy with busy and you're closer to the truth Matthew

[whatsisname]

Continuing with the post-whore... yeah Lach' we did the exhaust/muffler change. It made quite a difference considering the very low cost! I'll post up a quick thread on my results. Have a read.

[Cubes]

I'm getting Shaun to work on my car for the run in and tune.

The times i've spoke to him he comes across as a keen decent honest bloke.
