Post Best Brisbane Wrecker

Heya,

I'm fairly new to Briss Vegas and am wondering if you can recommend some decent wreckers to me. I live on the south side, but anywhere in Brissy is cool

Cheers

Agree depending on what you are after. Try All Ford Wreckers on the north side, ABC inner south or there's a Ford wrecker at Capalaba.

There's lots of wreckers, lots on the southside, MrQuan. A lot of them are tied into the Wreckers Hotline, so they can get on the radio and see if another wrecker has the part you need.

I've got a Ford wrecker not far from me on the northside, but I don't think he's got a huge supply.

the one on redland bay rd capalaba is good, i think there is Boss wreckers at tingalpa too. rule is not to brake anything and u wont have to tramp thru greasy car graveyards. depends on what u need , some things are cheaper new.

Thanks for the help guys.

Oxley and Salisbury are my area

I'm looking for a trip computer for the EF and those plastic lock arm things for the front doors. I'm guessing a new trip computer form Ford would break the bank, no?

Sandgate Wreckers

Sandgate wreckers seem ok, they at least try and find you what you want.
