Good Workshop In Melbourne

[rickhead]

I'm probably reinventing the wheel, but I'm new in melbourne, living in ivanhoe.

Can someone puhleeeeese point me in the direction of a good knowledgable mechanic who is good with gtr32's. i'm finding a LOT of cowboys out there who leave me with a very strong feeling that they don't know what they doing.

The car needs new O2 sensors fitted, new rear upper camber arms & rear upper bushes fitted & if my budget extends to it, a new set of turbos fitted. I've got all the parts needed, including the turbos, all I need is someone to fit them....

Many thanks in advance guys... (& gals)

I'm sure Ash will tell you.

Hi rickhead welcome to Melbourne!

The guys are correct; this has been discussed many times before. But even if you used the search button I don't think you will get much regarding how bad a workshop is. I think due forum rules and most importantly due to legal reasons people are not allowed to post bad comments or experiences they have had.

Regardless, I don't think people will disagree with me when I say; Take your car to Racepace. I don't know every workshop in Melbourne but I think you should save yourself from headaches and take it to Ben.

Hope this helps you in some way!

Thanks everyone, been a great help. Talking to some of the workshops has confirmed my suspicions about the guys I was originally thinking of dealing with. Should I become a vic member, would this entitle me to any discounts etc from workshops. ???

hehe u cant ask a workshop about there opinion on another workshop

well you can... but its going to be extremely biased obviously..........

rickhead - Yep, some places do better prices for Vic Members.

ICE Performance offer currently to SAU-Vic members a discount on labour

Racebrakes offer a discount

There is also Car detailing discounts aswell as HID stuff from Phillips etc.

You'd make your membership back in no-time at all.

Plus you get all sorts of goodies (refer membership sticky in this section)

Hey man, Im also from Ivanhoe. A good place that would only be a 5-10min drive from your house, that specialise in turbo upgrades and other types of auto enhancements is PRO-TEK. They are also really good guys 2.

Its located at 273 Dundas St Preston 3072 PH: 9484-3117
