I hope you guys aren't implying that all mechanics are bad....If you are, i take offense to that.
Sure, there are bad mechanics around, but it's more the minority than the majority.
this thread is called "bad" mechanics not just mechanics im sure the people writing in it are only refering to the bad ones
i once took my car to the mechanic got it fixed paid for it and walked away happy
Right, well i brought my car (vr acclaim) for $1500 nothing wrong with it untill i got it and crashed it the first day, but after another $800 ive got it back again. and was wondering what kind of mod's can i do to it, that wont cost me to much money. i get my p's in likke a month and wanted to start working on it myself, so i can learn as much as possible. anything to do with the visual side (inside and out) any suggestions will be apreciated =D

lol not all mechanics sorry just this mechanic shop needs to pull there head in coulda been a accident or anything
hey mate just a heads up. if you write in other peoples threads you will get given alot of sh!t from people on the site. click on this link--->> VR - VS Holden Commodore (1993 - 1997) - Just Commodores and up the top of the threads there is a button that says new thread, ask there- try using the search bar first though because if you make a post that is already up people will also give you hell. apart from that the guys here are very useful and know just about everything you need to know. i love them
It's Moe, what can you expect dude.. They are fairly dodgy over there... Haha. Everyone hates Moe.
Why didnt you take it to the shops around Morwell?
What was the shops name so I stay away from them?
I would be taking the car for a second RWC IMMEDIATELY.
If not only for peice of mind, but if they find something dodgy - the mechanic who did the RWC before has to fix it.
LOL, There is only one mechanic that I will let near my ute, only cause I have used him before, and he does good work, and doesn't tell you lies to get more money, straight forward. For example I took a car in to him to get the timing checked and he said alright, checked it, he said yeh timings right but needs the injectors cleaned, asked how much I owed him and he told me not to worry. So yeh, I have seen some shocking mech's but there are some really good one's out there.
"I realize you were young and inexperienced at the time, but in hindsight you should have chosen your parents more wisely."
yeh i havent let anyone do anything to my car i have done most the work myself
i was goin to moe to see a mate at his work n borrow his rattle gun to undo a couple bolts lol i wouldnt go to moe if i didnt have to hahahah
um i didnt really wana name names with what mechanivs it was but suppose i should just so ppl know.
it was vallas in morwell
Vallas? Havent heard or seen them before?
