And keep on top of the bookwork, as easy as it seems to put it off 'till tomorrow, the next thing you know is that you're 2 months behind and it's a huge PITA to try and catch up.

Remember, you're there to make a living, not to do favours for everyone.

Hey guys so i have been here for one month now and all is going really well. Just putting it out there for all members and there families if you want to get some work done or a service, mention this ad on soarer central and i will give you a 10% discount off the total price. Thats repairing or servicing all makes and models. Looking foward to speaking with you.

Hey Dylan how much do you charge to do a road worthy on my bike? According to QLD transport any mechanic can do road worthy's for bikes, doesnt have to be bike mechanic which is what i thought.

Dylan, what would you want to swap over an auto gearbox in a soarer?

I'm assuming you have a hoist and everything :-)

This couldnt have happened at a worse time for me, but on the positive... at least I have another gearbox :-)

Cannot recommend Dylan highly enough!

For anyone who may be skeptical, Dylan is a former mechanic from Sci-fleet, and really knows his stuff.

I'll be going back there for just about anything I cant do myself from here on in.

Thanks again Dylan, make sure you let me know when your Maguire's Motorsport stickers are done up... I'll have one for sure!

Hey, Dylan after all these reviews, I'm thinking of switching mechanics, I might hit you up next time I need a service, BTW do you by any chance, do manual conversions on cars? what would be an estimate, of price to get a full R154 conversion with parts + labor (inc GST) - 10% discount ;)hehe

Excellent good to see SC member with his own workshop, there is not much Soarer/Toyota workshops here in Perth there is only 1 of them that actually mainly focus on Toyota performance.

Knowing Queensland there is a lot of Import Toyotas around so if you can look after Toyota guys it would be great.
