Default Good mechanics

Hi all, my EB II, 6, is due for a water pump, injectors and some other minor repairs/replacements. Im sick of dealing with mechanics who seem to have no idea. Im after a good mechanic near or around broadmeadows. My biggest problem is the hours i work, im a bus driver who works alot of varied shifts and alot of hours (45-60 a week). Any recommendations welcome. Thanks guys. Ryan92

howdy ryan i live in roxburgh park just down from broady i have a mate whos on the ball when it comes to those sort of problems and hes real honest for a mechanic, he helped with my 351c build and top notch i must say. only prob is he was in kilmore working for a mate at his mates work shop. and has just recently started his own garage in romsey from what i recall is further than kilmore. not sure if hes up and running yet he was still setting up last time id spoke to him. my suggestion would be get someone you know thats a mechanic your less likely to get ripped off and they wont say thiers issues that dont even exsist.

Romsey's not too far from broady. it'll take 30-40 mins. Kilmore is probably a tad longer from broady.
Otherwise i can recommend the mech i use as well, he's in Sunbury. If you want a number i can find it for you.
