My VE Commodore needed timing chains replaced.
Had been priced as much as $4000!!!!
Ended up at MC Autos, Mo plugged in his diagnostic tool, once he had confirmed the problem, straight away quoted $1600, ready in 2 days. Needed to replace worn fan belt for extra $100 but included in this quote was a major service (over $300 value and coolant flush and replace and 12 months warranty on parts and labour).
Had to get a flat tyre fixed a week later and he just threw that in as well. In fact I had seen him do that with someone else. Fix this guys problem and sent him on his way. Mo should have charged something, he didn't.
This is just old fashioned service. This is the type of service that should be well supported because Mo certainly has mine.
Regards,
Joe

Approximate cost: $1700
