Perth Performance Shops Are Useful

[uneekwahn]

Well, I thought I'd practice what I preach and complement Ken and the boys @ Hyperdrive for fixing a problem with my car that had been bothering me for a couple of months.

Took the car in, took on of the guys for a drive, came back in, bang bang bang, problem fixed. 20 minutes of my time and a very large saving of money had I taken it elsewhere.

Thanks for your help Ken and Hyperdrive, it is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jason.

Yep the boys at hyperdrive surely do rock

I hereby announce this with my weekly "Threads that are useless award" and it is also in the running for my "Brown nose of the week" award.

Amen

[damono]

I think message of a job well done isnt useless. I too reckon hyperdrive are great, not overpriced and know their stuff

[noise]

I was trying to think of a business that didnt waste my time or rip me off, nothing came to mind.

lol

Nah I would say that at least 25% of businesses I have used I would use again. The rest can get f***ed.

What is a usefull thread then??? This is a car forum - A post about a workshop will be helpful to people if they are looking for somewhere good to take their car.... won't it???

[32vspecII]

considering that any thread to the contrairy is closed its not that usefull really

its a bit like the ex iraqi information minister who im sure you all remember

""There are only two American tanks in the city.""

what you should of done was praise the workshop as a an annonymous business, then gotten ppl to pm you if they were interested in knowing who they are??

It seems thats the way too go if a workshop fks u around.....

Sounds like double standards too me

I think letting others know if you have a good experience somewhere is what this forum is for !

I think at times... we should be able to also say if we have a bad experience somewhere too, whatever happened to freedom of speech on public forums?

Hyperdrive are a SAUWA sponsor - our club considers each sponsor carefully before adding them onto the team - the majority of us have had great experiences there (especially that time on the workshop bench ken - you were great ) and word of mouth is great.

But if everyone posted their good experiences and bad experiences - the forums would just get choked ... a little like they are now .... after all we aren't "Choice" Magazine here where we go rating everyone and everything and doing bacteria tests etc.

Useful to me is more the DIY stuff - performance related stuff - little things that we should learn to do ourselves rather than run off crying to a workshop for and wonder then why we are low on their priority list cos they are probably looking at you thinknig "and you own a performance car and don't know how to do this or what this is??".

Thats fair enough Although I admit I have been here a little while and did not know that Hyperdrive were a sponsor - where can I find stuff like that??

[Miller the hoon]

I think shops should remain anon and then pm the person

workshop could have fixxed your car but f**ked up 12 peoples cars trying to learn wat a f**ken turbo does

do it enough times you will eventual get it write

law of averages

all shops are shit sometimes

my 2 cents james

[32vspecII]

This is why we dont go to Automasters because they would think a turbo is used to power neons. You go to a performance workshop because they know what the hell is going on.

As for them f**king up peoples cars im sure any decent perth Workshop (theres only about 5 or 6 in metro perth). Would happily sort you out if they broke something, in most cases im sure they would fix their mistake and avoid telling you, or do it and tell you after they did it and they replaced it for you with no charge.

All the shops arnt shit, some take more care, some take less, some charge more, some charge less and some just rip you the bork off.

Take the time to look around and what workshops are around, get prices, get advice and get your shit fixed!

No excuses for lazyness.

P.S. its Right not write

Now this thread is useless! Everyone knows the workshops everyones got their preferences and alot of people have close ties with one or the other. Find a workshop, dont just drop your shit in and leave, take a moment to have a chat to them, if they do you a favor buy them a 6 pack they will remember you and take care of you! Its the little shit.
