Any GOOD Mechanics or workshop opens on Saturday?

Postby BZR4AGE » Tue Mar 31, 2009 12:48 pm

Hi guys.

I would like to take my car for a mechanic to check on a saturday.

Anyone know any good mechanic that opens in the weekends?

I work Monday - Friday from 8:30 - 5, so is not possible for me to take it during the weekday unless I take half a day off.

Just having problem while I steer? when turning corners, it makes a funny "rubber" noise, and this only happens when the car been sitting out at the sun for a while, or during a hot day.

Also having problems with the clutch, If I don't drive it for a few days, the clutch becomes very hard. But after a day, it goes away.

Also still having troble with engine randomly stalling at idle. have cleaned out the ISC valve already.

Any recommendations?

Cheers in advance

Assuming your 'location' is current.
