Mechanic recommendation - Adelaide

[greasykitchen]

Hi All,

I'm new to this forum so please correct me if I've done anything wrong.

I have a '76 MK1 Golf and looking for recommendations for a reputable mechanic with experience with this mode. I have previously done business with Volks Auto (now German Auto) in Melrose Park who are excellent but they are now exclusively late model specialists.

Andrew there recommended GHR motors in Daws Rd. Does anyone have any experience with them? I know they mostly do air-cooled VWs but what about Golfs?

Does any one have any other suggestions (preferably in the inner south of the city, bit other areas too)?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Stephen

Cartek - formerlly Vee Dub Centre our Karmann Ghia gets serviced there not sure if they do late model VWs but very good service and same side of town as German Auto.

Volksfactory - may do late models like Andrew too, not sure.

Hi mate...Theres AVW on richmond road just out of town...not sure if they do early model stuff but worth a try....the guy on daws rd always seems busy (either really slow or very good)...Its only just off south rd... Its weird i went to Geman Auto once and i have never been back!

Thanks guys. I'll check out AVW when I have some spare time.

Anyone else have experience with GHR?

I have the feeling that Cartek are less interested than they used to be since they moved to include non-VWs. I did take my old beetle there a few times but not in a while.

Sleepy, what was it about German Auto that turned you off? I've found them to be very thorough and courteous.

Cheers.
