Chaps, im on the hunt for a good gearbox mechanic and also a good errrr normal mechanic. Not looking to do mods yet, just keen to find a regular mech for service work. A approved mech would be great.
Southern suburbs based would be a plus, but i work at pooraka so somewhere around there would be ok as well.
Cheers lads.

Soaring Phoenix Mechanical, Pete is a great guy and only around the corner at Ingle Farm. Knows his Commodores really well but can service anything.

Southern Automotive at Hindmarsh are great (authorized repco workshop too which is a bonus as their quality and performance gets closely monitored by repco to meet high standards)

Both myself and mates have been going there for years.

When you say gearbox, do you mean manual, or auto?? I have used DRW at Lonsdale to do my Falcon trans, and great job.
