hi
i am hoping someone can assist i am trying to find someone in Brisbane who can service my Aristo, i used to do all this kind of work myself but simply no longer have the time with work commitments , house moving etc etc.


i am looking for someone who is honest and is not going to be frightend off by an aristo, i love the car but servicing is becoming a painfull experience. i currently have a passenger seat which is dead and 100,000km service which is not far offjavascript:emoticon('Sad')
Sad .

I have even had to farm out the fluid changes to the local garage, whilst they were done ok $400 for an oil and coolant change strikes me as a little expensive !! and i know the 100k and seat is just going to scare the bejesus out of them.

Any recommendations gratefully appreciated

many thanks

Max Sad

looked into this , it seems like a fair bit man.
Depending on who you go through. general rate seems like
500 on SF.com.au . Probably want to spend a bit more instead of a normal shitty mechanic as well.

Who wants to come round to mine and ill give them... oooh 3 cartons of alcohol of choice ??

also prepare to replace the water pump, balancer and front seal.
So set aside like a G.

prepare for off road action as well
If the balancer needs replacing.. add 300 odd bucks straight away.

x2 ...

when the mechanics I was dealing with suggested my engine was a lemon.. it was Brad who convinced me otherwise and restored my hopes and made me pursue owning the car (for the while I had it, til for personal reasons I sold it) ... definitely call him!
