200 to remove gear box, replace clutch, $30 to machine flywheel, 180 for h/d clutch, $500 to replace the starter motor after they ripped the solonoid out of the starter motor..... that was thanks to profix enfield. replaced the starter for $50 thanks to someone off here
transman lonsdale $2,800 to rebuild a turbo 400 for my vk calais, took 3 weeks and it never worked, it had 1-3, only 2nd, took it to drw automatics and they fixed it for 150, remove the tranny and sort it out after all transman did. never paid the trans man a cent for his labour, just paid for parts, when the cops rolled up, i explained it all to them showing reciepts, they agreed i was hard done by and was told not to worry.
parents took their vx lumina s2 to the mechanic in mt compass, when he removed the fuel filter (with out the propper tool.... he used a screwdriver :/) he ripped the fuel lines out of the fuel tank...... holdens 200 to diagnose, 300 for the mechanic to fix it for them. mechanics no longer touch my family's cars
My experience with mechanics, do it yourself or stick to one mechanic who you know and trust.
+1, i got a mechanic i go to all the time to get my cars fixed/checked and they always do a top job, but you do get the odd few that tend to think every car owner is a deadhead so they can try and take advantage of them
i guess thats why the recievers stepped in and took controll of PF enfield.
