G'day all!
Recently had my 4.2 TD GUII serviced at what I thought would be a reputable 4x4 workshop in
Geelong (Fyans St down opposite VicRoads) but ended up VERY VERY VERY upset with them.
I generally do oil change at 5k intervals myself then have a workshop do the extended servicing at the 10k intervals.
Have you ever heard of a good workshop only replacing one oil filter and leaving one of the old ones in there?? What about no details on receipt of what work was undertaken? I've got no proof they did anything but change a couple of filters (one oil, one fuel). Or what about asking for $580 when they quoted me $390?? Don't worry, I had it out with the manager and only paid the quoted price. As I was having it out with the manager, 2 other blokes came in complaining about work that had been done to their vehicles from that workshop. Seems like it might be a regular occurrence!! Could go on for ages but won't
bore you.
Anyway, does anybody know a GOOD diesel mechanic in
Geelong (or nearby anyway) for my GU, because I am NEVER going back to these guys. Would love to find one I could trust.
I don't mind paying for good service. All that I ask is that the mechanic gives me good work and I'll pay them good money. I'm not after the cheapest quote, I'm after the good mechanic and will pay accordingly.
Thanks for any leads.
