Best Workshops

[Tyler Durden]

I am interested to find out what mechanics you guys have used and how they rated? And do you all use mechanics which have dynos onsite?

Cheers!

would have to say the same, ken and glen have always looked after me good dudes

[bully]

never had a problem with Xspeed alway done good work

[MirKz]

Cypher have been good to me in the past.

Got my car in for a service somewhere locally today, will see how they go.

[Nizmo]

yeah finding somewhere thats not only good at what they do but local these days is the major bummer.

[fane]

hyperdrive get the thumbs up from me in terms of customer service.

[ASYLUM]

yeh intersted in this also, Hyperdrive is a bit too out of the way for me and SST are no more

whereabouts is Cypher? who can do Dyno tuning?

Well i travelled from bunbury to use hyperdrive and there in house dyno, and believe the hassel worth while. Can you put a price on good advice and expirence

Not a fan of Cypher as have delt with them in the past (and wont be dealling with them in the future) as for dyno, last time they had to use 4mares(or something like that) as they didnt have in house dyno.

only my opinion

X-speed seemed pretty good but last time there they had no in house dyno either

my opinions are from my expirences and dealing only

true, just awkward to get to without a car while working the hours i do.

Cypher uses Formaz's dyno i believe..

X-Speed

Hyperdrive

Speedworks

C-Red

not neccesarily in that order, all are respectable workshops... just go down, have a chat and see whom you feel you would want working on your car..

True Dat bam..

having said that, having an inhouse dyno really helps with problem solving and you don't have to rely/book in to use someone elses.

Depends on what you want to do on the car and what specialist expertise is required..

Hey Ken, i was after an exhaust and a service/tune at the same time. Is it cool to call you for this + advice ?

Im in the same boat. Live in Warnbro, work in freo. Malaga is basically a state away from me, but if the price and service is right i'll travel, just hard to find the time off work.

PS. what happened to SST?

[LUMPY]

Something about a 10 foot pole.........

I think the best way to answer that is to say that they have ceased trading and are no more. The make up of it's pretense are around at other places now.

Keep this thread on target guys or it will be closed very quickly.

When choosing a shop, be happy and content that what they tell you is feasable and possible, and that you know what will be happening to your car and where it will be, who will be driving it (if at all), are they insured, certified, qualified, experienced, and are they capable?

Do you get your phone calls returned? Does anyone take the time to explain the options? Are they interested in more than your money? What does the workshop look like? Is it well equipped, well laid out, clean, tidy, efficient?

Be realistic with your goals and you will be a happy chappy. Ultimately genuine advice comes from experience.

Beware of Imposters and Pretenders.

Dealt with Cypher before - not happy at all. A long story but not for this thread.

XSpeed is the only other shop I've dealt with, and no complaints there.

[dr00]

Supertec in bentley - scott and baz arent just good at what they do, they are also good blokes who want to help you out. if you are having trouble with something you can drop in for a quick chat about it. baz has come to my house after work to check out why my car wasnt starting...

best bet is to drop in rather than call, they dont like to answer the phone

[taynewguy]

I have dealt with no-one else but Hyperdrive since I bought the car 18 months ago and don't intend on dealing with anyone else. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, trustworthy, etc etc . All mods, tunes have been spot on and I have been more than happy with the results. They have always made time for me, and gotten me back on the road as quick as possible when I have broken down.

Its not to say that others are better or worse, its just to say that happy customers should be loyal to their workshop. Thanks Ken and Glenn.

my 2c.

[C-Red]

My advice is to visit a shop and see if you get the service you expect.

Get a service and if you're happy then great - if not then you're only down a service.

Look at the sort of cars the shop turns out too - and the runs they have on the board.

As for having an in house dyno - some need it to diagnose problems - some dont - some cant even diagnose with one.

[Nizmo]

It doesnt hurt to learn how to do the basic service yourself

[taynewguy]

Not good to work on the car yourself if you have dicks for fingers like me - coz everything I touch gets f#$ked. No I'm not that bad but I happily pay for peace of mind if anything.
