Hey fellas, i'm looking for a mechanic on the coast to service my XR6T..anybody have any recommendations? Have found the last 2 I visited flogged the **** out of my old car for no reason (was in for a roadworthy)
I would do it myself but need the nice little stamp in the log book for warranty. |

Coomera Car Care in Upper Coomera seems pretty good, Peter recently rebuilt my diff, and has done a fair bit of work on the father inlaw's BA GTP, and AU XR8 with no issues...
Give him a call! |

Very good mechanics, meticulous.. Owner is a Ford person who loves GT's etc. You could eat off his workshop floor. Only downside is he is expensive at around $90 or so an hour. He can stamp your book and do the book services or do whatever you need.. He used to work on my GT-P before I sold it, and stamp the book. He also uses all genuine parts to keep the warranty guys happy at Ford.

I use Corvette Performance in Hildon Dr Nerang. I've never had a car with a factory warranty, but I have had dealer warranty's satisfied there. My old man has been going there for 10+ years and subsequently so has my mother, sister and myself.

G'day lads,
Hope this mail finds you all well. I am new to the Gold Coast and thought I would ask the question again, as it's been a while since this thread was originally posted. So if you know someone who knows ba xr6T like the back of there hand could you please advise. I do all my own mech work 95% of the time, this time though I need the real deal.

Anyone knows someone who could fit a new starter motor for a reasonable price? Ford Falcon FG 2010 6 cyl standard. I need to have it done where I live since the car is not registered.
