Hello,
I need to find out whose "the" bug mechanic in Brisbane for a friend-lives in Margate.Thanks for any replies..

There's lots of them. Off the top of my head:
Mactuned out at Lawnton (Not sure if he's still going as he woudl be pretty close to retirement properly)
Volksworld in near the Royal Hospital (but they are moving soon)
Towoong Autos (Ask for Brett)
Micks Motors at Northgate (and one of the sponsors for this site)
Leons Motors out at Salisbury

Basically, stacks. Bought the latest issue of VMA? There is a good listing of businesses in there. Me I have been described as a 'mechanic sl*t', after going to Mactuned for years (then selling my bug) I have been to a few different folk for different works rather than one for evreything.

rodger at southside vw--did his apprenticeship on vw in england then was in south africa vw dealership ,now here
imagine all of your working life spent on one manufacturer and specifically their air cooled models :beer

do a search, there are lots and everybody has their favourite, personally leons for me.

depends what you want done...

micks is close to you
