Hi. I'm based out near Ballan in Victoria at the moment and need to get some work done on my 97 GQ. I've got one quote from a local meechanic and would be interested to hear if the quote sounds reasonable.
I need new front rotors and have been quoted $100 per rotor + 3 hours labour. I think this sounds about right as it's a fair job due taking off the locking hubs and repacking the wheel bearings.
Total price quoted for: the front rotor work + machining rear rotors, replacing front shocks (I'm supplying the shocks), supply and replace rear windscreen washer motor (leak), wheel alignment and balance is just under $1000.
If this sounds about right then I may just go with the local guys. I figured there'd be a bit of a premium though for being the only shop in town.
Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in the area? I'm thinking Ballarat or Melton would be the best options nearby. I also need a small dent in the bonnet fixing up, so any body shop recommendations would be gratefully received too.
Cheers.
