i've been trying to call these guys for a few days now, as they were checking out a spare diff i had, but i can't seem to get through to them? anyone know whats going on?
i think the phone number i'm using is 9401 4277, but i dont have it written down with me, so thats a guess at what i had.

Have they relocated yet? They may have shut up to move, but just up the road from where they are/were.

did they used to be on the corner of millers road and cooper? cos when i went there they were further down millers raod.
i actually just saw that they weren't in the listings on 4WD world anymore either...

If you drive past the old shop location there is a sign saying that they have relocated up the road, on the left.
i just drove past the new site and they seem to be open. 4x4's everywhere and could see one up on the hoist through the roller door.
they looked open to me. Cant help with a number though

Hope this is the case, I heard second hand that they had to close up.

agree 100%...
Seems odd that they moved then closed the doors...
what was the reason Cheezy?

Just what I've heard from my mates but it wasn't Rod choice to close as they went under. It's a shame as they were the only good close "hard core" 4WD joint in the northen suberbs, they will be missed

It is a shame but with the cut throat industry that we are in the profit isnt there to keep the door open at times. I know that some months we run at a loss as most people try and screw us on price and ring around playing each company against each other. You may save youself a few bucks today but in the long run all the good shops will close and leave you with the dodgy ones that will sell stuff cheap but offer you no service and real world info and work. Just my 2 cents worth, so next time you get a price just think what the service and info the person on the other end of the phone is giving up is worth.

If that's the case then i'll always pay $20 more for anything like that just to keep all the dodgy shops off the street.

Ditto.
Find it hard to figure out that they moved then went rectum skywards...
