I totally agree on their work being expensive, however, the quality of the workmanship is VERY HIGH as I have seen with my own eyes. Not many other workshops in Brisbane can attest to that... You really do get what you pay for and if you expect to do something on the cheap, this workshop definitely isn't going to help you, until you fuck it up and ask them to fix it properly...


There is a difference between "cheap" and "realistic" and then there is "unrealistic" or just "utter bullshit"

I also know plenty of workshops in brisbane who do great work for those "realistic" prices.

does anyone know who has the car now/owns it?????

I think said owner of shop made some valid points which may infact be correct about said owner of car being at shop when work was being carried out..however what really matters is who has the car now and was it or was it not auctioned?

LOL at editing my post HSV


and yeah I took a look back, it is a big thread as a business owner myself I hate it when people jump into a witch hunt. But then again a dodgy business is a dodgy business

Surely trying to get his name out of the shit would be on his priorities.

Personally, I don't think he would give two shits what anyone thought about his workshop. Considering the backlog of work I believe his workshop has, I don't think it would bother him at all if a few people complained here and there... Look at what happened when people started saying another big name workshop was closing down due to bankruptcy last week... People don't know shit in this town... They gossip, bitch, moan, etc etc, I'm sure you know all about it, after all, you probably left a certain forum because of these reasons, correct? Get my point?

because said owner does not sit on the internet all day like the rest of us... some people have lives and business to tend to. writing a reply to a gossip column that is an internet forum such as this or cb surely isn't high on his priorities.



I hate to say it, but when the name of your bussiness is being dragged thru the mud, it would be very important to have it sorted....

than again like my dad always says bad publicity is still publicity,

about 5 years ago my mother worked for a kitchen company who had some lady complain took it to a current affair and the papers.
mum was all worried that it would slow the business down even more than it was already (business no longer exists) but infact it helped because after awhile people only remembered the name of the business not why they remember the business

why do people ask that question when realistically they should be asking themselves the same question as they are in fact on the internet as well?

surely the owner of the car was informed by the shop of what needed fixed or replaced when they found problems, on 2 occasions when ive had my car in for service like my 100k, they told me what was going to be carried out and how much before they started, they rang me 30mins later and told me the timeing belt pully was leaking and needed replaceing and how much and i told them ok do it, 40mins later they rang me again to say my rear rotors needed to be machined and pads replaced and how much it would cost,, again i said do it. my new mechanic has also done the same when i went to get a unichip fitted, rang me to say he couldnt fit the unichip as the air flow meter was rooted and wouldnt go ahead until i approved him to fit it.

really business's have to cover all bases by calling u telling u the price making sure u understand what is going to be done so then when it comes back to this kind of thing that business should be able to pull out a phone bill highlight all the times he rang the customer to discuss what needed to be done, with a memo or notes on the cars service thing on the computer, so calls times listed with items discussed etc, anything to cover their arses

but sometimes they dont unfortunatly. have heard many stories of ppl going to get simple stuff done and coming back with a list of 20 other things. its been happening for years and im surprised it continues to happen. i just think people put far to much trust in shops hey.
