i dont need a dealer to tell me that my brakes dont need changing after 6 months if u noe what i mean
i wish more of u were in sydney. ive asked all my friends this week, and none of them know a good panel beater sigh
@furythree do you change oil and oil filter on your car yourself or do you bring it to mechanic? Maybe I should look into this and give it a try on my next service. Is there a DIY on this?
Just can't figure out how in the states they can do oil change for so cheap when we "accept" that $200+ is normal at a dealer which is sad :(
I noticed most of the service are just oil change + filter and inspect inspect inspect that somehow adds so much costs for looking (not even sure they actually look!!)
In regards to a panel beater, I'm located in Sydney but haven't required a panel beater sorry! I've read on here that some people used Hollywood Repairs or something at Lansvale? Also Currans at Auburn too! So just give those guys a look into.
I paid a lot less at Top One for 6mths service and bluetooth system install time included too :)Quote:

I took the car to a mechanic and he said the gas line is leaking underneath and there's major sub frame damage. FML!
Estimated repairs was $4,000 USD but insurance decided to total it.
I'm so lucky my son wasn't in the car because it could've caught on fire or probably exploded.
imagine running over a rock/boulder that's the size of a soccer ball @ 40mph while being lowered
