Any good mechnics in North Shore area?

[alastabesta]

Just wondering if anyone knows any good mechnics that does quality works in north shore? I need my flywheel and pressureplate machined and get another set of clutch(hopefully won't last 10000k like the last 2 did >_< ) and my friend's car needs an outside ultrasonic injection flush, change transmission oil(AT) and change the fuel filter. She got quoted $580 for the above work but I asked around and so far most reck'ns aroud $350 mark? any thoughts on whether its rip offs or $350 too cheap?

any help would be greatly appreciated!

thx guys

Most communities have a hazadous collection every few months. There is one in Albany fairly reg, you could take it there. Althernatly ask a local gaurage very nicely and they may let you use their container.

sweeeet~~

mmm would anyone know what type of ATF is good?

looking for something that'll last me another 6 months and cheap...

any brand from repco?

[ROBODISCO_20v]

Cheap & ATF in the same question?
What sort of crap where you using to only last 6 months? Any big name brands from repco/appco like Valvoline or Pennzoil will do and at around $35 for a 5L its reasonably priced too.
