    Save my GT Sport

    Hi All,

    Have a mk5 golf gt sport diesel. It's in a pretty sad state, needs new brakes and has be de-commissioned for a few months.

    Can you recommend a good mechanic in Brisbane to have it serviced/new brakes/roadworthy etc.

    Someone that can make some legitimate suggestions on aftermarket brakes / be honest about costs across the board.

    Cheers!

    Budget $300-350 each end for brakes.

    In Paddington - although aware will have to travel to some extent. Back left rotor/calipers (and potentially discs) will be busted - unfortunately driven for a while when braking was definitely metal on metal. Better off just getting new brakes across the board?

    Hi mate any chance you could let me know this contact on the southside also please? I need to get same thing done for my GT Sport. Front & rear brakes and need a new ignition switch. I was quoted ridiculous prices by Austral VW which is where my car has always been serviced. Wanting to find someone good with VWs but not charging the high prices.

    I'm about to drop in at Phoenix Engineering (Woolloongabba) next week. Apparently a vw specialist. Jimmy (Alba) is awesome but so out of way for me unfortunately.
