Mechanic suggestions - Toowoomba/Darling Downs

Postby mycroftai » Fri Jul 24, 2015 9:29 pm

Hi All,

I have a nice 1994 Eunos Roadster that needs some general mechanical maintenance and was wondering if anyone can suggest a good mechanic with some experience with MX-5s/Roadsters in my area.

I love the car and am gradually rebuilding/renewing it. I have used the Mazda service center here and they were great but a little pricey :?

I have found specialists in the area to do the diff, etc. but I would like someone to take care of servicing and general work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated..

Thanks

I had my Megasquirt ECU tuned many moons ago by a great bunch of people in Toowoomba called TAS. I was very happy with the result. They were into rotaries and motorsport in a big way. Not cheap and maybe in that specialists category but there's one option for you.

hi,
I do the servicing of my own cars but for the work car I've used Ultratune in Hill st Toowoomba (back of grandcentral) for more then 5 years and they have always been professional.

Take a drive to Aspley (Automotive Plus). When I lived on the Gold Coast and in Blackwater the car was still serviced by Plus.

:D Thank you all for the prompt replies...

Appreciate the recommendations...

I'll make some enquiries during the week and hopefully find a 'carer' for my little machine...
