Well it's time to report on the swivel reco, dropped it off last night so he had it for the whole day today, bit of a shock, no pretty little workshop, quite the opposite, dirty cluttered messy lookin place, but i must say I am over the moon with the outcome.

They usually say that most ultra clean workshops charge more for cleanliness,and all the untidy places ive been to know their stuff

[DX grunt]

As the title says. It certainly does, as some of you are aware I've been chasing someone to do my swivel hubs. After many calls around to all the regular 4x4 and off road specialists I have finally found honesty. All places I called for complete kit through hubs, (gaskets seals bearings etc) wanted around the $900 mark, jeesh a man could get a new car for that lol, anyway a mate referred me to his mech' who he takes his 4b too. So gave this fella a call and a day to sort a price for me, just got off the phone to him and bugga me, he has halved the price from all others $460 for a complete kit (fitted), when I queried the price he laughed and said is it a bit cheaper than you have been quoted, for sure, he said we're to help people out not to rip them off. Done! And before Easter too, piece of mind for me heading away.
So guys, SHOP AROUND, it pays off


TAPPN OUT

Exactly!!!!

I don't mind a bloke earning a living, but to blatently rip people off, is not fair.

My local mechanic does a fantastic job, but it's been 3 months and I still haven't got a bill and I'm less than 1k from my next service! Far out!!
