Can anyone recommend me a good workshop in the Tweed area? Having problems with an Au ute i just bought, under statutory warranty and need someone to go over it and list any work that needs doing.
I rang Ford and talked to the service department, they werent interested, told me to take it back to the dealers. Thanks |

Can recommend Burleigh Tyre and Auto beside Stockland Mall or a mobile mechanic Phil from Tyler Automotive. You can find them at www.askerni.com.au in the business Directory.

The guys at ALDEN AUTOMITIVE are great, ask to speak to either PJ (The best) or Pete, Tell em that Biscuits the nut and bolt guy sent you.
If they are not any help, Leon and Brendan across the road at sth tweed performance are pretty switched on guys.... dont know if Leon still has his twin turbo VX SS, but by memory, it ran about 600kw at the wheels, worth a look anyway  after that, A1 Suspension (the old Tweed Autos are a couple of hundred meters up the road.All Of them are on Machinary Drive, I have used all 3 over the 15 odd years that I have been driving, and all are extremely good. But my first port of call would be to see PJ @ ALDEN Alden Automotive - (Same driveway as the fruit shop) U 7/ 37 Machinery Drv Tweed Heads South QLD 2486 (07) 5524 4822 Tweed Performance - Cant find Leons Number, but they are nearly directly over the road from ALDEN A1 Autos & Suspension- 07 5524 3411
