What makes you think he can't invoice you?? His got an ABN/ACN. So i don't get what the problem is?? Isn't that all you need if you want to claim tax???

oh ok, i never got an invoice last time - and he paid in cash..

much easier for me to pay by cheque etc..

what will he do for a bigger job like cam seals/belts etc? if its going to take more then a day and needs a hoist etc?

heheeh his prepare for that, & i know his got few trick up his sleeve. BTW even if you paid cash, just ask him for an invoice.

As i mention in the other post. SL Motorsport business had been sold, & now its call "MJ Jap Motor"

Alex is the owner, & he promise me his going to look after FTO Club members. So all you have to do is tell him you're a member of The FTO Club Australia, then he should look after you.

If in anyway you feel that his not looking after you, please let me know.

So another word if you after a regular service, Lee (SL Motorsport) can come to you from now on, as his doing mobile service. For major repair, services (change of piston...etc) & modification, you can go down to "MJ" (OLD SL Motorsport)

I've got a mechanic just behind my shop, but i don't know if his any good, i send him one of my "bomb" to test him out. He is my client too, so maybe we can work out a deal if his good.

Ohh thats Sth Melb btw.

went to a place today in south melbourne - kev you might know it..

called GV automotive or python..

The guy was quite charismatic and showed me the workshop.. they build cars there.. lots of hot rods and cobras etc...

They are also VERY expensive me thinks! Was interesting to talk to, but not sure if I dare use them haha.

Was talking about a $1000 for a putting my car on a dyno to see how the engine is running etc etc, without any tuning!

$1000 just for putting it on a dyno

Mate his dyno must be made out of gold.

yeh i know - there was a bit more involved then that (kinda exaggerating when i said just throwing it on the dyno)... and he was just saying 'for example', was trying to tell me they charge for their experitse etc... but at least he was a good communicator lol

He talks it up a bit, but as long as they can back it up I dont mind. What I did like is he made the effort. So many mechanics just say "book it in we will have a look" - doesnt give me confidence if they cannot spend time with you.
