    Default Good wreckers in Melb S/E subs...?

    Hey guys,

    I'm going diff hunting this weekend for a VL diff (I just want the 3.45 gears out of it), and just wanted to know where everyone else goes to get commodore parts in Melb (s/e subs)? Any wreckers that overcharge that I should steer clear of?

    Cheers, Tom

    Jolly Rogers (just on Greens rd in dandy)
    Harveys in Baxter.
    Kumback wreckers in Moorabin ( i think its moorabin)
    Hold-on wreckers in Seaford)

    I think Geoff 'wagon wheel' paid abt $120

    Theres also Pick A Part in Kilsythe or however the **** you spell it. Isnt really eastern suburbs but it could be worth the drive. EastComm wreckers i think as well but they are rip off merchants, and are located in Ferntree Gully.

    Yeah i use Eastcomm wreckers, they aren't THAT badly priced, but i use them cos they always have good parts and always have what i need.

    Plus they are 2 seconds from my house so it's easier to get to.

    Hold On have officially won me over.

    Rang Holden frankston about a foglight switch for a VT, they said 75. Checked eBay cheapest was 58 with 10 P&H.

    Went to HoldOn and they gave me one for 15.

    Awesome.
