I ended up using cricks at Maroochydore.
they seem OK for a dealership (in my rather limited experiences) even gave the car a quick wash and vac while they had it.
but I think I'll end up going back to Jimmy at Alba in Brisbane for the next service

I've been a constant client of Crick's Maroochydore for the last 4 years, and have built up a good relationship with the service staff, spare parts etc. I've had no problems, the servicing has been timely and efficient, and I have no complaints. I did price them once against other local servicing independents, and found Cricks slightly less expensive.

I saw something on Alba European's Facebook page recently saying that he is closing up shop to persue a job in Automotive Forensics, and Google is showing his shop as "Permanently Closed" so it looks like he has already moved on.
