Recommended businesses for FTO stuff

Post by SILVERFISH »

i know a few members have had a few troubles with
unreliable or ridiculously long delays with mechanics lately,
so i thought i'd better post up that i've found a decent
shop for working on FTO's in the eastern suburbs -

Nandi Autocare
1 Futura Road
Keysborough 3173

Ph: 9706 3444

best mechanic i've dealt with in quite some time.
they're an approved Import Compliance Centre,
(you'll notice a LOT of Nissans in there)
so they know their jap imports well.

tell them the guy with the S1LVER number plate FTO recommended them to ya ;)

i've changed the title of this topic so that people can
recommend any reliable businesses that've worked on their FTO

tuners, importers, mechanics, suspension, audio
wheels, tires, parts, body kits, paint... etc.

if you rate em highly, let us know about them ;)
