So I did a search, and much to my surprise, 2012 seemed to show a complete dearth of “best mechanic” questions on Riot Act! (This is likely the cue for a litany of people to start posting links that the search function didn’t reveal…)
Anyway, my car is passed it’s used car warranty.
So have it – [...]

I’d like to utilise the Hive Mind about where to get my poor old Suzuki’s carburetor fixed. It’s gulping petrol and propping a bit, and after having its electricals all re-done, suspicion has shifted to the carby and fuel level being the problem (something about a float).

His experience of services from the dealer and another *ahem* reputable franchise has not resulted in any remedy – to quote “I want [...]

The ABC are warning that the industrial action by ACTION mechanics is having flow on effects to today’s services after Deane’s busline had to help out with sporting events over the weekend:
