Suggestions required ASAP!!!! What are the best RX 8 mechanics or garage in Melbourne

Hi guys, your suggestions would be greatly appreciated if you could drop me some names for the finest RX 8 mechanics and garages around Melbourne. I'm a new owner and is confused to which one to trust, I've heard about places like maztech, promaz and mazworx but still would be greatly appreciated if someone could point me to the right direction????

Hi there. A contact at Ausrotary tells me to go to Buzzme. Just look him up on FB. I am told he does 8s and the older stuff too.

My disclaimer is he has not done any work for me yet but is highly recommended. I was put onto him when looking for engine rebuilders in Melb. I'm currently looking into engine specs that I want before I go to Jed at Buzzme.

Be very interested in your experience if U don't mind keeping me in the loop. Feel free to PM me for more info.

I would be very cautious about using a mechanic that is is only listed on facebook,
if there is any problems,
it might be impossible to resolve

True about FB. I was more going by recommended builders from happy customers. I wonder about some of the old tuners ability to build then tune RX8s as opposed to my old beast of a car RX4 that had dinosaur technology at best.

Most of these old builders/ tuners want to flog you the stuff they know and understand. Does not mean they know or want to work on 8s.

Afterall I'm in the same boat and selection of builders and tuners as the author of OP.

Who can we trust with our toys while holding our wallet?
