Hey fellas, just wondering who people would recommend for a regular service. Last one was done at the local dealer but now ready for 50,000km service and wouldn't mind finding someone reputable to have a look at it.
I'm in Yarraville, missus is in Scoresby and work is in the city so somewhere near one of those areas would be good.

I'm going to be taking my car down to G&D performance in Dandy. I started taking it to Craig a few months before he closed and I don't think I'll find another like him.
Hopefully he opens something soon so we can all go rushing back.

Tony - not overly fussed about factory warranty at this stage of it's life anyhow although it might be wise to check and have any stuff sorted under warranty for the last crack I'll get at Ford warranty. Good call - if I've still got a month or so of warranty left I might take it to the dealer again. I thought about G&D - not too far from the missus place I guess and I can leave it for a day or two and maybe borrow her car or grab a train to work. Keep 'em comin if anyone's got any other bright ideas!

Try Binks ford in Footscray as one of our club members Jeramy works in the service department. There is other places who can do logbook services such as Ultra Tune Midas Mufflers places like that. Hope that helps. Tony

Just took mine to a mechanic who services our work cars and wife's car. He is honest and very thorough. Oztech Automotive in Kealba.

Ultratune in Southland has been servicing all my cars for the last 4-5 years. Excellent service and prices. Since I've joined the club, I went to Craig at ACE and had even better experience, but since he's closed, I went back to Ultratune. Just did a 160k service on monday.

I use Dion at Dynamite Performance in Tottenham Pde. West Foots. A legend with Fords, and especially the turbos (his results speak for themselves) He does my F6 as well as all our company vehicles.

I called in to see Dion at Dyno-Mite on Monday and he will be servicing the T this Friday ready for Adelaide. Will be nice to have somewhere to go again for the TLC.

The T was serviced at Dion's shop today, Dyno-Mite Performance. Highly recommended guys, good work thouroughly done. And service log stamping, so even if it's new, take it in. You won't be disappointed.

Kev, that is good news and great to hear you have found someone to look after your car. I think it can be quite hard to find someone who you can trust and will do a good job!
