Default RWC check - Maroochydore

I need to find a mechanic who could do a RWC check tomorrow in Maroochydore.
I'm flying down there in the morning and picking up a near new Ranger but need to get the check so I can hopefully drive it home.

I know it will need a windscreen replacement so I also have to find that as well.

Any help much appreciated.

Yellow pages is your friend. Start ringing now as it is school hols so everyone and their dog will be there with LOTS of vehicles being booked in for service while there are families on hols so the car is not need for the daily commute.

Try Nambour as well.

mechanics are usually booked a week or 2 in advance, so 24hrs notice isnt really gonna happen. Best bet would be a mobile RWC guy as they are usually very expensive, and would have more time on their hands

Thanks guys - I've lined up David Yates Automotive and Sunshine Coast Windscreens - they're about 3 doors from each other and are happy to work together!!!

Only took 40000 phone calls but...

I'll let you know how I go.

Pity I'm working tomorrow. I would have liked to meet up with a fellow cortina man.
You might know me from mk1 forum as GT63

Well, long story short - didn't get the car.
The seller disappeared as the police are chasing him for fraud and other things apparently.
Ended up trying to buy a new Ranger but none in stock so bought new dual cab Hilux diesel with lots of goodies.

Must say I am pleasantly surprised with the Hilux - well finished, economical, comfortable and tons of grunt!
