Good Mechanic... Is there such a thing?? North Shore

Postby ADIKTD » Thu Apr 10, 2008 12:23 am

Hey guys,

Well, My sump is leaking on my exhaust and $&#$% does it smell!

I'm after a good job on re-sealing my sump - is that too much to ask?

I want a good job done by an honest mechanic who isn't gunna feed me a whole heap of shit and 10hours labour charge later have the job finished...

Any recommendations on the North Shore of Auckland will be awesome!

I'm looking for a regular guy who will also do my oil changes etc when required, Not jst a one off job.

Cheers

You might find that he will charge you a bit because some of the bolts are near under the cross-member. Also he might have to remove the 2 - 1 section of the exhaust, and those bolts are always rusty.

And you will want to do an oil and filter change at the same time :wink:


Give it a go yourself, its not that hard. Just be careful not to snap the sump bolts off when re-tightening.

Gotta say, DONT go to north shore toyota. Things may have changed since I had my old st205 in there, but that experience put me off them for good.
