Where do you guys take your cars to when it comes to fixing/repairing/mods...etc ?

I'm looking for a compromise between cost and effectiveness in the repairs. I took my car down to a recommended place in Cabra and they didn't know jack about turbos (180sx) cars, but instead thought they might take my car out that night for a 20kms spin then tell me the next day that don't know shit.

So apart from trustworthy mechanics, does anyone know any mechanics that's NOT trustworthy ? Just so I know where to avoid next time :x

I dont know of any bad mechanics that would do that but as for posting the name of any one who as done this before might ge this site in trouble for legal reasons so perhaps people should only post the names of good places untill mayhem reads this post

Hills Motorsport are a decent bunch of guys to see, im sure there will be more than a few recommendations coming in for them.. More than i can say for another organisation in that part of the woods.. (vague enough ?? :) )

Ops, I didn't know you can't put dirt on bad mechanics. Good thing I didn't include names.

But it'll be greatly appreciated if people pm me for bad mechanics. And I'll be trying either Hill's or Mick's.

Thanks guys
