The guys at Kingstone Auto Repairs (KAR) were great when my clutch decided to go just before Xmas last year. Cash was tight and the initial cost for the clutch was going to be crazy as there are only 2 main importers here and they milk it, even the owner of KAR was saying it was hard to get competative prices. I got on here and linked to Northern Brake & Clutch (NBC) to see if I could get one in. The guys at KAR were amazed to see that The retail cost from NBC was not far from what they were being charged from the supplier. Cut a long story short they did the clutchfor $100 more than their cost and labour was at cost as well and had it done 2 days before Xmas. Dropped in two cases of beer the next day for them as an added big thanks.

I had a good experience with Donovan Nissan in Merredin WA.
I bought this relay for $40.05, and Nathan, the Sales dude, fitted it for me, filled it with electric 'sludge' and even tested the spotties for me. - after installation.
Well done, Donovan Nissan in Merredin!!!

I always have a good experience at the Spearwood Tavern, they hear me coming so there is always a nice brand new cold box of beer waiting at the counter when I arrive.......can't ask for anything better than that

I had a good experience with Discount Auto Parts here in bunbury. Was looking for new tyres and found the Achilles muddies for $250 in Perth (2hours away). Saw Eddie Gobby the owner. He said he couldn't match the price but gave them to me for $270 each. Thought that was good of him.

Just got the Navara work car a full service all oils and filters and minor fix ups for $400.
Got recommended to this company in Lilydale right near work called total automotive in industrial drive Lilydale.
One man show but full service, oils, filters, radiator flush and little fix ups is not a bad price.
Might even take the patrol there!

Apprentices Rule!!!
Merv keehn autos in toowoomba. I just had my patrol get a rwc there. When I picked it up they told me it was all good, aside from a short in the switch that had caused all the parking lights to blow.
He told me he had fixed it.
No worries, I said how much?
No charge, just the 70 bucks for the rwc!
Awesome guys, and they know what there on about.
Cheers

Bought a fuel pump for my Kia truck of this mob last year and am now getting a recon turbo for my Mercedes Vito work van. Will see how it goes, as they also do turbos for Patrols.
