    Good 4WD (Toyota) service place in Brisbane inner suburbs area?

    A friend has a recent model Prado.

    Mate has been using "xxxxxx" at Moorooka for service and other jobs (upgrades) BUT they keep getting things wrong.

    Fitting wrong parts, overcharging, doing work not approved / asked for without checking first, taking longer than advised (eg extra day!) for a basic job.....

    My mate is a very understanding fella, but it's getting beyond a joke.

    He's looking for a specialist 4WD service place.
    Someone that knows their stuff and looks after and values their customers.
    He lives in Inner Brisbane (Nth side) so something not TOO far away.


    Any recommendations from people with personal experience of good places?
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I get my Jeep done by Westside 4x4, who usually have all sorts of makes in there. They've always seemed competent and more importantly honest.

    Toyota is the most over rated vehicle. There are so many yota dealers around that's supposed to be their strong point isn't it??

    They don't do vehicle servicing.

    Admittedly I haven't been there for 9 months, but when I unfortunately had to take the Jeep on a trip in December last year they did a service for me then.

    Everyone's been saying it for a while but I must be special.

    There are no good toyota mechanics.

    Only landrover mechanics who have let their standards and ethics slide.
