Is that Traction 4? If so, I won't go there EVER again after they did some very expensive work in my car that wasn't suitable for the trip that I made and told them I was making.

Caren,
This isn't on the Northside but I find these guys the best. No frills, straight shooters and know what they are doing in the diesel area.

Wow,
I new I would find someone somewhere who wasnt happy with traction 4 one day, just law of averages, but they are normally pretty good.

They had done some great work for me in the past but after they did some work which was useless and gave me the wrong advice which left me in a dangerous position in outback SA, I won't be going back. I guess everyone has a bad day but for the money that they charge I won't risk it again.

I divide my servicing into 3 parts:
The part I do in generally maintaining the vehicle plus an engine oil change every 5ooo kl
The part where my local mechanic does a general 10,000 kl service, gives everything the once over, checks/changes oils, filters etc. He charges $100.oo plus oils, filters etc.
The part I save for the specialists such as injectors, turbo and anything else where I think a specialist is the right man. I havn't had to get any of this done yet.
Can't help you in your area. Any clean workshop that has a mechanical association
membership should be able to do this simple stuff, if the owner drives a 4x4 all the better.

A bit far to go but try www.lonards-automotives.com.au
Is a member of an associated 4wd club, MVRIC licenced, IAME member, MTA member.
Doesn't advertise as any sort of specialist but does put alot of 4WD's through.
Close to Penrith Plaza and Panthers Leagues club. Great to spend the day at.

Yeah ... can vouch wholeheartedly Artarmon Automotive. Been using them for three years and very happy. Eddie and Chris are not only friendly, helpful and
well priced, but they know what they're talking about.
