thanks mate,
I might look him up.
Im down closer to Braeside area but if he is a good bloke i dont mind the bit of travel.

Yes Glen has a good reputation, and lacks the bull that others seem to have

Yeah, attitude and expence. Time to get fair dinkum.They still cant hear the exhaust rattle and belt squeal i keep harping about. My wife is buying ear muffs for us both tomorrow. It will be cheaper anyway.

I recently had my heater core replaced at Toorak Tractor.Cost $560,next nearest quote was close 2 a grand. Ive been going there for years now & always had good service. The hardest part is trying 2 get them 2 do the work with them being so busy.
I know Rangieman has had a bad experience there ,I have no reason 2 doubt that & thats unfortunate:( but because u live in Braeside he`s just around the corner, why not go around & have a yak & make up your own mind.
I have also heard quite the horror story from a friend of mine about the fella down in E/Bentleigh
Cheers Dean.

Cheers.

Went and saw Glen at Rover land on Saturday and highly recommend him.
He went over the car , under the bonnet, on the hoist and rectified a couple of code issues i had come up on the dash.
Found my exhaust manifold leak, and some studs missing, leaking p/s hose and some other stuff.
He gave me an amount to budget on for repairs, and so its booked in to be fixed.
He didnt charge me for the couple of hours he spent on the car looking and was more than happy to help
I know where all my servicing and repairs are going to be done from now on.

Thanks guys for Glen's info, greatly appreciated.:):)
