the tranny was just serviced, it drives like new.

no more of this sluggishness, odd gear changing... etc... etc

so the people at "company name withheld" were complete scum. they told me they had one person working, while they had many people inside, and no cars in the place, they repeatedly kept laughing and asking me "have you ever been to Parra??" I rang up the other day and booked for Parramatta, but they were BUSY, and said if they could book me in they would, there was no response.. so anyway, they were talking to themselves while i was trying to ask questions.

so, i drove down the road, after these people ignored me, basically, and acted very unprofessional.. and went to this other dude, he done it in 30 minutes, 120$ bucks, 20 cheaper than the original scumbags and it drives like brand new.

i will defenetly be calling their company as it is franchised. disgusting service, but i'm glad, i saved some cash.

the new dude, who i strongly recomend, Advanced Auto Transmission Services in West Ryde had alot of awards for finalist businesses and crap, he was a bit rough, sure, but very good.

Those parking globes can be a pain in the ass to replace.
Good luck with the auto,I found mine very temperamental.

Christina · #**284** 22-03-2007, 10:56 AM

Indeed.

Well, I think I need new pictures. I have clear indicators and new tyres, would make a big difference.

That's it darling except I forgot the bonnet struts

Also add Nolathane shock absorber upper bushes.

I am going to have something to say about those jerks at All States.

What do you do if you buy rear Bendix pads off ebay and the seller never contacts you after a week and 4 emails? The seller must have taken a holiday. Oh well.
