Looking for a Good VW Mechanic Northside QLD
Hey, I have recently moved to Chermside and I am looking for a trustworthy VW Mechanic on the Northside to give my baby some well needed attention.
I have been to several mechanics Southside who weren't always completely honest with me, so I'm wondering if there is anyone you know Northside
who's judgement you trust.
Thanks, Danielle.

Im also looking to get my bonnet resprayed possibly, but need to scope out prices.
My current bonnet paint is peeling.. I don't have too much money to play with, but I dont like my car looking ugly, so if anyone knows a reasonably
priced sprayer Northside, I would also love to know their names as well.

If you can discern whats bullshit and what not, I recommend going to Volvo & VW centre in Rocklea. It's on Dollis St, in Salisbury. I have been
to that mechanic. It seems the guy who actually does the work, does a great job, but the other people that work there will rip you off if you're not
careful. I had some work done there recently and they went from 9 hours labour down to 4 on the bill when I asked what took so long. But I probably
wouldn't go back there.

So Dubleg ........ which part is BS and which is for real ... let me see if I understand you ....if you get a nameless mechanic he is good and it is
all good ... however if you get another namesless mechanic it is a rip off and don't go there ....right?
Not going there!

wouldn't go back!

I'd certainly recommend Custom Vee Dub @ Stafford. Good and honest IMHO
Haven't heard of German Engineering at Bribie though... are they any good?
