Thumbs up Trusted repairers

I've had my Bug eye for 2 1/2 years now and Revlimit is the only place I'll take the car to. If there is anything Leigh Hynes does not know about Subarus then it hasn't been engineered yet. Have a look at the workshop and see how many other Subarus are there - always an indication of how good the place is.Leigh is the type of guy who will come straight out and tell you if anything is wrong or tell you that a perceived repair is not necessary. I've seen his workshop double in area over the time I have taken my car there and the mechanics he employs are hand-picked and from Subaru Rally teams.

Sorry to go on about this, but I know what it's like to put your baby in the hands of someone who doesn't know you from "Jack" and then be disappointed with the repairs or to feel really ripped off when you pick the car up.

Thumbs up

Ive got my car down at Tenagah now and am quite happy with the service i have recieved so far. Abdus and his Mechanics Adam and Jim Hall are very friendly and happy to offer expert advice, and the quality of work i have seen is very good Also after a bit of shopping around i was happy to find that Tenagah was the best price for the particular mods i wanted done. Will give a full report tommorow whn i pickup my car after work.

Yeah i asked him. Said that the guy had no idea what was wrong with the car and couldn't even give a hint of what might be the problem. And the guy even said he would just pull out the whole engine without even looking at anything first. I don't think i could trust someone like that. I mean he could have at least had 2 or 3 ideas and explored them first. He didn't have to pinpoint it straight away.
