Problem that i've found out so far, nobody wants to touch your Soarer unless you front them up with some printed pictures from the DIY section of Soarer forums worldwide and imply they are a cretin if they cannot follow simple step by step pictures. After a bit of moaning they usually will work on it. Then the issue is the price of labor. By the time you have printed out what you want done, you literally know more than the mechanic who is going to work on your car. It might be cheaper just to invest in a torque wrench and some ramps?
My point is, anyone will work on the Soarer if they know what they are doing, and most mechanics have no idea what they are doing with soarers, so charge an arm and a leg then break everything.
So, front the guy up with some printed out pics and he will work on it. Just don't forget to imply he is a cretin if he will not work on it.

Eventually you will get tired of paying $100 plus per hour for someone else to work on your car who just does a job. It was the continual $600 + mechanic visits that sent me on my quest to learn how to work on my own cars. Once you own all the manuals and bibles your well on your way to becoming a Soarer guru! It takes awhile to piece it all together but it is very rewarding in the end.

Don't get me wrong but yeah I have done a lot of work myself, but at least if gets sticky I can trust someone to help me out. Have a mate who is a Holden fan mechanic done work and it's cost me more in end. So knowing soneione who knows how to work on a Soarer is good relief
