Are you skidmark's father per chance?

Last time I listened to your advice on this vehicle and took it to the dealership they fucked it up.

Now you are trying to tell me I shouldn't be dealing with a guy who happens to be a BMW trained A grade mechanic (and was apprentice of the year a few years ago) and instead should throw a third of the value of the vehicle at a "real" mechanic instead.

Reduce your overheads. - Own your own premises,don't rent or lease. - You still need to make a return on your investment in your premises. I guess rates are cheap as chips on commercial premises around Auckland too.
Make fewer mistakes. - Be a qualified tradesman (NZ qual,not Somalian) - A Grade, BMW trained kiwi - ex apprentice of the year (how's yours?)
Work smarter not harder. - Don't work out of a van,work out of a well equipped workshop. - to change a cam belt? What the hell for?
Less down time. - Don't travel to jobs,make them come to you. - don't charge so much so that your book is full. Choose your area or charge additional for out of area.
More efficient business processes. - get a girl for your office. - or use an answerphone and not even have an office or staff overhead.

Probably a few others I haven't mentioned. - I have a few answers I haven't mentioned. - Thank Christ, they would probably be as ill-conceived as the last lot anyway

Just had the cam belt replaced on the mistushiti by Auto Mech.
Did a damn good job and significantly cheaper than Auckland Motors. He comes to you so no need to work out getting the car in

Call Gav on 0274 741 688.

Awesome. Some big advantages to getting the Mechanic out too you.

For those of you that don't know Gav is a highly trained and motivated indentured Motor Mechanic having served his time with BMW, during his training he received "apprentice of the year".

Gav has worked tirelessly over the years giving his time to motorcycle racers prepping bikes for competition, performing modifications and staying track side.
'Two smoker' would be the first to admit that without Gav's help his racing seasons may not have been possible.

There you have it. A genuine good bugger [and KBer] with solid mechanical skills, who will come to you and fix/service your motor vehicle. Gav is well priced [as The stranger will attest] and honest, give him a call folk's.
