Hi.
Just wanted to recommend a mechanic in Prospect Adelaide. Danny at SA car clinic.
I'm from Sydney driving around Oz with my fiancée in a 95 series prado.
Despite 5 mechanics in the last 7 weeks and 20000km (including a major service), no one could tell me why the car seemed to sporadically lose all power up hills and have no acceleration.
I'd changed fuel filters and throttle cables and it was getting worse.
Finally getting fed up. I took it to a transmission specialist in Adelaide. After a referral to a general mechanic and then an exhaust specialist (who all were very helpful and took time to drive and listen to the car without charging), I was referred to Danny as "if he can't diagnose it, no can".
He listened to us carefully and had it solved quickly by excluding everything based on what we told him. The first person to do this. it was a stuffed air flow sensor. He took the time to explain everything to me and my fiancée and despite being obviously busy, he never seemed rushed and was happy to answer all our questions.
He had the replacement part within the hour and now the car is driving really well.
Not only that but he didn't charge a labour or "diagnostic" fee. He even rang the cafe up the road to see if they were still open so we could go up there while we waited for the part.
Certainly the best service I have ever received by a mechanic and clearly someone who takes pride in their work.
Just thought it was worth a mention as good work like that often goes unnoticed.
