Hi Guys,

I originally checked this forum page for recommendations and wanted someone on the bayside as its close to home. Years prior to that I lived in Melbourne and had a European Specialist I used down there.

The first year I was in Brisbane I had my 30,000km service done by Bryan Burt and needless to say the customer service was woeful and I went away feeling like they had probably not even touched my vehicle during the service.

This year was the 45,000km on Transport T5 Runner special edition and I found some guys called "GLT Car Care" in Capalaba. The website is fairly basic and the place looks like a bit of a Volvo car yard out the front, however overall I was very happy with the whole experience.

The price was fair ($480) and there were no nasty surprises. It was $100 cheaper than any other quote I got and they were still able to do the break fluid and pollen filter within that quote. All the dealers wanted to charge me an extra $100 for the break fluid and pollen filter. They are a European specialist and clearly some other people have caught on as they had some high end mercs and volvos rolling out the place.

A problem I have had in the past with other services is that garages claiming to be euro specialists simply forget to reset the service light with the diagnostic equipment. So whenever I get a quote I always verify they have this equipment. Something you would think is fairly basic, however I emailed some other so called euro specialists in Capalaba and they simply wouldn't reply when I asked this question. Anyway I'm happy to report this wasn't and issue with these guys, they have all the diagnostic equipment.
