Service Parts for a P38a in Melbourne

[poleonpom]

I'm looking for a trustworthy supplier of service parts for my 4.6, preferably in Melbourne, ideally near Williamstown.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I want to stay on top of the servicing of a car I love to own, but fear owning.;)

Hi, I've only just bought mine, but I've heard Deacon Automotive, I believe in the city, does parts and service. There is also Range-Rov Autos in Mitcham, but that'd require a bit of trip from Williamstown. From what I've read, stay away from actual LR dealers as most will take you and your wallet for a ride.

WHY,,WHY have dealers got such a bad name?? for cost of parts and services
I agree by the way

You would think it would be in their interest to get the work??

Yep, all the one's I deal with are great :D.

Great staff too :cool:.

The main reason I was hinting at staying away from dealers is that I've read around a dozen stories online from people being burnt, especially in the hip pocket. I've been to a couple of different service centers pricing some genuine parts before I bought, 1 as mentioned was Range-Rov, there was quite a price difference.

We know what you mean - just having some fun with you ;).

There's at least a couple here that work for dealers. I'm sure you know 2 just from this thread :).

Now dont call me anti-aussie, but I buy most of my parts from overseas.
