They have a very good reputation in the CQ area, people from
Gladstone travel there for them to work on their vehicles.

When I was living in
Gladstone I had my injectors sent up to them for reconditioning as there is IMO no reliable operators in
Gladstone.

CQ Caravans Google them. Why are you staying in Rocky.
Yeppoon is much nicer if you can get in.

I needed to get a new clutch in Rocky last week. RACQ directed me to Highway Auto. They started on it same day (got there at 2 pm) and it was finished at 4 pm next day. Good job - reasonable price - nice guys.
While there I got in touch with an old mate who lived there for many years. Turns out he has moved to
Broken Hill. He also recommended Highway Auto.

Hi everyone
I went to hillman motors and theyu directed me to Grant Jenkins.
The Troopy gets fixed on Monday.
It appears to be a bit more than just a small leak.
I mentioned that the revs were about 200 more than they normally are when sitting on a given speed towing the camper.
He thinks that the clutch may be getting oil on it, which he said is unusual.
Anyway I'll let you know next week.
