Ask RiotACT: Desperately seeking a diesel mechanic

michwells012 3 June 2016 3 June 2016 2

Ask RiotACT

My partner and I are in desperate need of getting our diesel Ford Ranger serviced by a good mechanic. As we are new to the area we don’t know of anyone who specialises in diesel and 4wd vehicles.

We are in Turner but would happily go anywhere for a good quality service.

Please help us.

Thank you.

Either Queanbeyan Diesel service (as already suggested) or I now use Auto Basics in Fyshwick as its closer to home.

Both do a top notch job on modern turbo diesels.
