Title: Please recommend us a Top End Mechanic
Post by: trevc on June 02, 2014, 03:27:25 PM

G'day all

We'll be passing through The top end of NT and WA in the next month and am looking for some local firsthand recommendations for a trustworthy mechanic to perform the 90k service on our V6 Prado. I know we could go to a Toyota dealer but am looking at other options.

So any recos for Darwin, Katherine, Kunnanurra or Wyndham are appreciated.

I'm sure this info will be helpful for other travellers as well.

Thanks

Trev

Had a bad experience with Adrians Auto Repairs, though quite a few year ago. (might have changed since).

Been serving my sons car, used to use him for my R51 Pathfinder -- Can well recommend.

Both these workshops seem to give a personal touch, are friendly, and complete what has been asked of them in a timely manor.
