Just moved to Tassie and loving it, but need the heads-up on a good mechanic in the Huonville area. You know, someone who will treat me like one of the family!
My 130 is starting to show it's age. Just like it's owner. So any word on a good local spanner man would be appreciated.

JustinC is the man.
I dont think he works on Landrover Tops though.
He is "The Ducks Nuts" on your mechanicals;);););)

I am about as far from, Browns Road, Kingston, is to where you live, at Glen Huon.
I live the other side of Hobart, just out of Brighton on the way to Broadmarsh.
Justin does do Land Rover tops, but he does need a step ladder, ----Oh! I think I got to go, right now. :wheelchair::rocket:

Some say he once diagnosed a TD5 with a beer can and a smile...
Some say he once built a landrover by hand, biting the rivets with his teeth.
Some say he re-splines Landrover axles with his toenails...
We just call him....

What can I say..
He will smell your car
He will Listen to your car
He may even taste it
Then he will diagnose and fix all the problems no one else has been able to solve.
He lookes after my TD5 and has just rebuilt a 120 ute for me including turbo, intercooler, lockers...the list goes on and on, all I can say is...
He rocks:)

I bought my Disco from Tassie (drove it to NSW). Should've taken it by JC's first....it has issues no one here has been able to solve.
Still, I have an excuse to drive to Tassie now!
