Good, honest mechanic?

Submitted: Wednesday, Mar 01, 2006 at 12:19

Wombat

Could anybody please point me in the direction of a mechanic who offers quality service at a realistic price in the northern (outer) suburbs of Melbourne, please? We are looking for someone to undertake the regular maintenance of our daily vehicles -: a Nissan 200SX and an Astra convertible.

Wombat,

You want a Good and Honest mechanic and one that is is Melbourne?

You don't want much.

Sorry I can't help unless you call Penrith a northern suburb of Melbourne.

Better go before Scott reads this :-)

Thats an oxymoron isn't it?? Like asking for Army Intelligence, an Honest politician, or a trustowrthy carsalesman... You probaly should be lookingfor a mechanic who is 'reasonbably' trustworthy... .

couldn't resist.. I am sure there are honest guys out there.. I know a good one in ADL. .just had to throw in my 2 cents worth..

The only one I really trust had been our family mechanic before my old's moved to Darwin... He is in Williamstown, which isn't really what you asked for but if you get stuck, he could be worth a call...

Always considered his pricing fair, never did work that wasn't required, never had a problem with any of his work and never charged me more than the original quote.
