    Good and Honest Sydney Land Rover Mechanics

    Can anyone point me in the right direction. I am sick and tired of taking my 03 Disco V8 HSE to Trivett Classic in the city. Whenever they fix something I have to take it back again so they can try again, bloody hopeless!
    I have heard Graeme Cooper is not a bad bet?

    I use Graeme Cooper for things too complex or heavy to do myself and have bought a Unichip and had them dyno my car several times.. While they are not perfect, I find Graeme helpful and approachable if something needs rectification.
    They are not cheap but they really KNOW rovers and you are not paying them to learn.
    I have a theory . On any big job any mechanic ( or myself- amateur mechanic) will make at least one mistake. Its the wilingness to accept the mistake and fix it that is important.

    Cheers guys.
    I'm in the Inner West but to get the thing PROPERLY looked after I'll go pretty much anywhere. Last time (3 weeks ago) I brought it back from Trivett I had COMPLETE brake failure within 10km's and they also broke the bonnet protecter off and said nothing, left HUGE splodges of grease all over the leather etc. I can go on but will try and refrain for the moment.......... I was an apprentice mechanic many moons ago and I know if it was me who did this I'd have have had a steel cap belted up my date!
    I'll have a beer and calm down now............

    I use Graeme Cooper for most servicing and repairs. They really know their stuff and I've been more than happy with their work. Check them out at www.lrexpert.com.au

    I have also used KLR Kingswood, they are good as well.

    Cheers,

    Jack

    good mechanics

    The way i look at is the more experience the mechanic has with a certian vehicle the more he knows how to take short cuts and bodgie the job up, like telling you he changed parts where he knows you never pull it apart and check but on the other hand some are honest and do a good job. how you find a good one is a gamble ie costly. from been stung before
