Hi,

I did a search for melbourne soarer mechanics found some old threads and people mentioning Neil.. don't know last name.

Can anyone recommend a good soarer mechanic in melbourne. I will be wanting him to inspect a soarer before I purchase it.

While I am at it, if I do choose to get an imported one from a dealer(so it will be unregistered).. will I need to register the car in VIC then drive it back to Sydney, then re-register in NSW, and lose some money in the process?

theres an import place call "sport and luxury cars" i think thats their name in melb that i hear people talking about.
rather expensive for work from memory by reading threads, but apparently they know their soarers.

I try to do 99% of work on my car, only when I'm really stuffed do I take it to Sports And Luxury. I think they're pretty good, I think the main mechanic there is Doug, top bloke and very nice. I always thought they were very honest in the professional sense, and their labour rates were fairly reasonable. I think it was 60 an hour.

They're in Ferntree Gully.

+1 to Doug at SLC. Their labor rates are something like $90 per hour now, but they will not stuff you around in any way.
