I don't use gimmicks or sales pitches but i do agree that what spare parts suppliers charge for an item is far far more what you will pay compaired to EBay. I encourage my customers to use EBay when purchasing spare parts, but be warned, some of the stuff on there is cheap but also nasty and can be more trouble than it's worth. I use Ebay sometimes and always give the option to my customers...

Australia seems to get the less quality when it comes to fuels, our 'Premium Fuels' are other countries standard fuel/gas benzine diesel etc, we get the bottom of the barrel at a cheaper rate but still not as a good grade to run even some of our imports, Mercedies Benz for example built after 2011 will not run right on anything less than Premium Fuel. This leads to clogged...

It makes sense to get a check up done on your car, if your services are out of date or, in a lot of cases únknown' then give your car a check up. It doesn't cost much around $110.00, includes saftey/fluids check, computer scan and free quotes if anything needed. 35 years of sound Automotive advice. I don't upsell, only advise on matters that are (needed) not what is wanted to make my wallet fatter that a lot of 'free safety checks' are disguised as. You know, go get a free...

I've been through the mill with parts suppliers, parts wrong, not ordered when asked, too expensive and not even informed if parts have arrived. This effects you the customer.

I don't go for the cheapest part, i go for quality without the dealership price tag, i wouldn't put anything on or into your car that i wouldn't put in my own car, and my car is 100% spot on.

I've been through 3 Spar...

My motto is a car can break down, in fact it's within any Mechanical nature for it to eventually fail but brakes MUST STOP. 

When you go to change the pads on your car there are also a few things to observe. 

1. Check the condition of the disc, if there are groves in the disc or if you experience vibration through the brake pedal when you brake then you should consider a disc mac...

When you get your car repaired, even serviced you have a warranty on that part or filter that has been replaced.In most cases you will get a 12 month or 20 000 k.m. warranty as that's what the maker of part puts on it. When you hear the terminology of 12/20 warranty, this is what it means, 12 months or 20 000 k.m. (which ever occurs first). Oil filters have a warranty of 6 months, even the oil has a warranty for the service life of the oil and if it fails it's lubrication purpo...

One of my customers owns a commodore vy 3.8, the water pump failed and she showed me an invoice of a workshop based mechanic to fit the new water pump. I won't name the workshop but i will give you a run down of her invoice.

1. Tow Truck                           $120.00

2. Water Pump            ...

Ok, so you cannot afford a new car, most people can't so they visit the local dealer to buy a second hand car. It can be exciting and being caught up in the sale can cost you money, and in most cases will cost you a lot more than the advertised price. The unseen extras that they sell you are totally unessessary and in my opinion one of the biggest rip offs out there. I'm not just talking about paint and fabric protection or overpriced window tinting. I'm talking about used car ...

Coming from Cairns, i see a lot of people doing the Cape trip, it's an amazing experience and i encourage everyone to do the trip and stand on the tip. It's a 'Must do' For most Aussies.

But don't be breaking down up there, a simple bog or change of brake pads can be very expensive getting these mechanics to come rescue you, and you are best to do the trip in winter, when it's cooler and a lot less rain.

I provide a Cape c...

This is in reference to a business in Cairns "Jap Motor and Carby Center" on Brown street Bungalow.

My customer purchased a Jap engine from this business, i was employed to fit the engine, the job was not yet finished and found a blown headgasket. Peter, the owner of the above business denied liability in the first 2 minutes of the phone call, i removed the radiator and had a condition report done on the rafdiator he claims to be the fault, an...
