Moved house. Need a new mechanic (Illawarra NSW)

Posting this up for my mum who currently isn't a member on here.

We have recently moved house down into the Illawarra (south of Sydney for everyone unfamiliar with the area) and we are wondering if anyone knows any good mechanics that can diagnose some issues we are having with her na mx5.

Some of the back story to this query is that a few months ago we took the car to mazda sutherland to get a 100 000 kms service done with the costs of repairs ballooning out from that service. we since had to take it back to have a coolant leak they caused fixed to no success (all it took was a bit of gasket goo on my behalf and all fixed).

I know some of the best guys to go see would be mx5mania but they are a fair hike from where we are so was hoping to find someone a little closer to home that may be able to help.

cheers everyone,
Lachlan.

Zanotto Automotive out in Corrimal is the best and most honest mechanic I've encountered. He fixes the usual family cars but he has built turbo v8's (has his own drag car) and gets porsche's etc in his workshop.

We actually live in Corrimal so we will give him a visit, thanks.
Does anyone else know any other good mechanics that work in or around the area, don't mind travelling for a good place.
