Hey I was supposed to go to ormeau last Sunday, but my engine has carked itself. I started her no probs, reversed her out of the garage, put her in neutral, got out to shut the garage door and she died on me. Couldn't get her to start. Rang up RACQ and they played with her for about half an hour, got her started to take me to my mechanic. Worse thing is I only had her serviced last month and the mechanic said the car was fine and all was well, might need a new mechanic as he still has not rang me to tell me the problem, does anyone know of any good mechanics in Brisbane

The Ford Service Centre at Springwood aren't too bad, they have the service deal on Daihatsu I think. As far I know this is the only retail outlet you can order daihatsu geniune parts new. Midas at Tingalpa are comparable price wise and guareentee quality workmanship. Also supposed to be a decent mechanic across from the Murrarrie train station but I haven't tried em.
I would be wary with mechanics, I stitched up big time by dodgy work when I first got a feroza because I didn't know anything. Avoid Shell Birkdale as they really don't have a clue what they are doing when it comes to f-300 but are good at preparing invoices and fixing things so they break when you drive away.
