Recommended Wellington garage/mechanic

Post by geebuddy »

Calling all Wellington based members!

I'm about to head over to the Wairarapa and need my car to be in fighting fit shape - I'm thinking a good 2 hour or so check up with a decent mechanic. Car is a 5 spd Carib wagon, 20v Blacktop.

Can anyone recommend a mechanic or garage? I am familiar with Ray Hartley Motors, they have done decent work on my old car in the past....

Cheers!
