    Gold Coast 4wd mechanics - any recommendations?

    After recent disappointment with servicing by a Toyota dealer on the Gold Coast I'm after some recommendations for servicing on the Gold Coast.

    Anyone got any suggestions? I've done a forum search but not much showed up.

              Yep! I get up to Brisbane occasionally and for the right service what's 65km between friends!

              Took my Prado back to the Toyota dealer I bought it off (2nd hand) after I discovered the handbrake not working one of the rear wheels. It's still under the dealer second hand warranty. They had it all day and said it was all fixed. Thought I'd check it a week later and the same problem persisted. I took it to another branch of the same dealer and they told me that the handbrake cable to that wheel was DISCONNECTED AND THE BRAKE LININGS WERE WORN THROUGH TO THE SHOE!!! I was a diesel mechanic in a past life and it just astounds me the lack of professionalism these days, they just don't seem to give a $hit!

              So yes, happy to travel to the right place to get my vehicle serviced.

                Hi Wagon Man. Can you recommend a Prado guru in Brisbane? I'm looking at a 120 Grande just now and would like a good pre-purchase check done. Thanks.
