Vehicle service in Alice Springs --- any reccommendations?
« on: July 23, 2011, 08:59:05 AM »
We will be in Alice Springs in a few days, and while there we need to get the Patrol serviced.
Can anyone reccommend a place to get it done?

Cheers

The local Nissan dealer has a checkered reputation but if you contact Jol Flemming at Direct 4WD he will steer you in the right direction  http://www.direct4wd.com.au/contact/contact.htm
 Jol does 4x4 training and guided trips.

Ours is a Paj diesel and rang the Peter Kittle motor company. Done by a contractor by the look of it, round the back of the dealer. I think he does all the dealers in the block (Mitsi, Holden, Nissan, Toyota, Honda).

46 Stuart Highway
Alice Springs
08 8952 5500
Reception@Peterkittle.com.au

They are also in Tennant Creek

No issues with them, but it was just an oil change plus filter.

I thought of that solution but the area is crawling with cops looking for a missing man and with my luck I would get caught and done for drunk and disorderly.
