13th July 2012 My mistake was not to get a quote first and compare it with other mechanics. My bill was more than double what I expected it to be. Do not agree to any other work other than quoted. If parts are replaced, I would get independent verification that they are new, especially if it can't be easily seen. Don't be surprised if they take much longer than expected and don't expect them to keep you informed of the progress either.

19th April 2012 Be careful visiting this Service Specialist. I received a long list of work that was required including a quote from them for $1800 replacement Cam Belt. I was a bit surprised and after a proper look under the bonnet and further investigation saw that it was not due for another 50000k. They also misdiagnosed a problem with the rear brakes so I dread to think what the final quote would have been. Keep your eyes open and don't be too impressed by the "authorised" repairer kit.
