Default recommended mechanic please

i live in Cedar Grove - Halfway between Beaudesert & Jimboomba QLD, would anyone know of a good mechanic around these areas? I have asked some family & friends about the local mechanics in jimboomba and have had mixed responses. So looking for some members recommendations.

Its for my 1999 Mitsubishi Challenger. Its due for a major Service and has an oil leak which is getting annoying. i could complete the work myself, but its the downtime of the vehicle and my back being a bit crook lately are 2 issues that are not helping my cause.

I will supply all parts & oils, just need the work done really and a good tune.

cheers

Hey mate just looked at google maps and your best bet would be to give paul at elite auto a call There just off highway 13 in archerfield. witch is about an hour or so towards brisbane but the great thing is its just one highway all the way in no complicated procedure of getting there and you'll get great pricing and customer service cos there a sponsor on here.

they'll also be able to take car of the xa too.

powdercoating...powdercoating... trying to think was it the wheels??? Terrible memory :(

as for the help, would you really? extra set of hands for the jobs needed would be awesome! Been trying to get my brother in law to gimmi a hand (he an ex mechanic) but tying him down and him getting the time to do it has been hard.

Rather do my own work on my cars but there are some things im not 100% on, so if your willing to lend a hand mate hope you like BBQ and beer!
Can PM you the list i wanna tackle... its a fairly major service!
