Davis Performance Landys

[CaptJimmy]

Hey All,

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Davis Performance Landys at Annangrove as far as general servicing goes. I know they do great job with ECU upgrades and such but i was wondering whether to head here or venture south to Graeme Cooper Automotive. Keeping in mind DPL is only 15mins up the road from my place.

Cheers

I do, and they are very good. They go over the car with a fine tooth comb which is good and bad when they give you a needs to be fixed list.

I'm very happy with them though.

I agree... The fine tooth comb can cost but it is better than a breakdown. A very thorough service with no BS.

[CaptJimmy]

What is the usual price for this fine toothed comb service? Not that its a huge deal, but i'd be happy to pay a little more to get a far better job.

Definately worth a try but I believe that Peter is fairly fully booked with regular customers (says a lot for the quality factor) and he is reluctant to travel too far north, operates mainly (but not exclusively) south of P'matta River.

What i don't like about B Davis is he charges even when he's not working on the car, (ie) clock the work card on then wanders off for 3/4 of an hour while the car isn't touched, but still charges you for that time

He does good work, but charges like a wounded bull

That can not be good. Have known a few tradie's that do similar or spend hours on the phone. I have upset a couple when I have deducted time off the bill that they spent on the phone. I am not paying them to quote on other jobs, talk to the missus etc. A lot depends on the rate they are charging at up to $100 per hour, I expect that time to be full on working. At $40 an hour I dont care if they stop for a quick cuppa.

I've had all 4 of my Landys serviced by John Davis / Bruce Davis. I bought my first one from John and Bruce checked out my last one before I bought it from a private seller as well. Bruce always did a great job and I've found him to charge the same (or even less) as others. He really helped me out with a few nasties on my Defender too (the previous owner had really bodgied it badly). I haven't been back to him since moving to Canberra 4 years ago - it's too far to go for just a service, but I'm tempted to take it back there for mods.
