Reputable mechanic/garage in Ballarat?

mr_blackstock · Jun 14, 2014

G'day,

Although the vehicle is my wife's Vw golf '99, I figured someone in here will know a good European mechanic, in either Ararat or Ballarat.

I would have given it a go, finding out the issue, but looking under the bonnet, hell! it took me almost 5 minutes to find the plugs! I have a hard enough time looking after "Betty" and my bikes...

Any help would be ideal,

Cheers, Gareth

@angus242164 is possibly the best bet; he works Wendouree side of town IIRC, and will probably know who to go to.

I thought to do a little investigating, and girded my loins for removing the spark plugs, I figured it paid to start with the simple things first. So after employing some long needle nosed pliers, a torch, and an bloody long extension bar!
I always avoided working on my wifes car, too many sensors, too hard to get to things, too many plastic covers. But I am ashamed that I let the plugs get to this point...bad DIY mechanic! I hang head in shame...
