Canberra: Best place to get a service?

93SP · 20-06-2003, 10:39 AM

Hi All,

Looking for a place in Canberra that can do a good service on my 93 SP. It's done 200,000km and is starting to get tired so needs some TLC and a new timing belt etc.

The last service I had done in Canberra (4 years and 100,000km ago, I move around a bit) was done by Reliance in Fyshwick. They were OK but I'm wondering if anyone better is out there.

On a related subject, any good paint shops around here too? The paint on the roof has faded badly and is starting to peel, time for a respray!

Looking forward to seeing some of you guys around town, seems to be heaps of Canberra people here. Look out for a Qld regoed grey SP with a loud exhaust and ugly paint on the roof around Kingston, that's me! Nice site too Tony, I remember e-mailing you when you had your blue BG a few years back. Might catch up with you on a cruise one day.

Hey Dan!
What side of town are you located on?
If southside, Southern Automotive have always done great work for me.
Also, metro car care & performance in mitchell apparently do good work.

Hey Crolla,

Thanks for the tip! I'm on the inner southside (Kingston)

Ahhh, right-o
I work in Kingston...well, actually it'c classified Griffith. Media Monitors, on Canberra Avenue.

I'm not aware of any in the inner city area, but Lantis might.

Mcguiness motors are excellent in Fyswhick

They have always looked after me but I do my own servicing to save some coin.

they have done two clutches for me and a few diagnostic problems
