Default Gold Coast mechanic

Hey fellas, i'm looking for a mechanic on the coast to service my XR6T..anybody have any recommendations? Have found the last 2 I visited flogged the **** out of my old car for no reason (was in for a roadworthy)

I would do it myself but need the nice little stamp in the log book for warranty.

Coomera Car Care in Upper Coomera seems pretty good, Peter recently rebuilt my diff, and has done a fair bit of work on the father inlaw's BA GTP, and AU XR8 with no issues...

Give him a call!

GMT Autos. 2/2 Rothcote Crt Burleigh Heads. Ph 07 55 220095. Greg Teagle.

Very good mechanics, meticulous.. Owner is a Ford person who loves GT's etc. You could eat off his workshop floor.

Only downside is he is expensive at around $90 or so an hour. He can stamp your book and do the book services or do whatever you need..
He used to work on my GT-P before I sold it, and stamp the book. He also uses all genuine parts to keep the warranty guys happy at Ford.

I use Corvette Performance in Hildon Dr Nerang. I've never had a car with a factory warranty, but I have had dealer warranty's satisfied there. My old man has been going there for 10+ years and subsequently so has my mother, sister and myself.

G'day lads,
Hope this mail finds you all well. I am new to the Gold Coast and thought I would ask the question again, as it's been a while since this thread was originally posted.

So if you know someone who knows ba xr6T like the back of there hand could you please advise. I do all my own mech work 95% of the time, this time though I need the real deal.

Anyone knows someone who could fit a new starter motor for a reasonable price? Ford Falcon FG 2010 6 cyl standard. I need to have it done where I live since the car is not registered.
