I needed my car all done up for my trip round australia, the boys were very helpful and gave me everything that i needed, they explained and we spoke about everything that they were going to do. They gave me a exellent price and i could not have been happier with there work. On my three month trip i had no problems at all.

Approximate cost: $10,000

I had an unfortunate incident where the engine in my Landcruiser seized when we rolled the car on it's side (that's another story) and the bottom line was that we needed a new or reconditioned engine. Toyota diesels are pretty expensive ($10k plus) so I was happy to find these guys about $2000 less than the 3 or 4 other quotes I had. Best of all, they promised a turnaround time of a "couple of days" to replace the engine. This was good as we needed to get the body repaired as well and were keen to continue our trip around oz. Anyway, I dropped the car in and three and a half weeks later and way over their quoted price they finished the job. Not happy. I have some mechanical experience so could tell they were spinning me stories many times when I chased up the car. When I finally picked up the car there was a new noise in the clutch which they were not interested in looking at (too hard) and I didn't have any more time to pursue it. This is a classic case of saying what I wanted to hear to get the business then moving the goal posts when they had the the job.

Approximate cost: $12000
