Mechanic in Alice?
« on: September 29, 2015, 02:16:04 PM »
Hi,
We just came off the Tanami and want to get our Land Cruiser checked out before heading back out on the Great Central Road. Anyone have any recommendations for a fantastic 4wd mechanic in Alice?

Much appreciated in advance!

I needed some work done on my car last year and Alice Off Road Mechanical Services were pretty good.  Everyone else I tried told me there'd be a two week wait but they fitted me in the next day.  Reasonable price too.

Thanks! I will see where they can fit us in.  We did a bushing on our camper on the Tanami. Luckily we had a spare, but I want to double check everything before we head off again.
