Reliable Subi Mechanics in W.A

Post by Kalbarri_baru » Fri Apr 26, 2013 9:02 pm

The worst thing about wanting to improve or repair our Subi's is trying to find an honest and reliable Mechanic.

So this thread has been started to get a snapshot of Pros and Cons of Mechanics we have dealt with, so others can have some peace of mind when deciding where their hard earned cash goes.

To start I have found C.K's Autos (Subaru Specialists) Wangarra to be quite reasonable in price (Just had Steering Rack done).

Anyone had dealings with C.K's ??? Pro's / Con's ??

Not cheap is ok as long as the job gets done right the first time, cheers for the heads up.

LOL.. you are quite welcome to take your car to others, I don't mind or knock anyones business. I will tell you that you'll pay more and if you don't mind, then it's your money. My workshop is there to help others build up their older models for offroading but I'm not always there, so most times I'll be away at work when you need my help :(

Cool book me in then, I am free most of June, should have enough funds to get the shockies and clutch done at that time also, and then off into beach / bush for all of August (perhaps a S.A run (hint hint) ) :wink: .

No probs and I'm definitely keen on the SA trip, very sad that we didn't go at the begining of the year.. maybe it was meant to be in August??
