apart from a Ford dealer, dont know if you'll find a "just" Ford mechanic. wouldnt think it would be economically viable for a business to do this.
probably comes down to what sort of work you want done ? as far as performance tuning, no experiencing with any personally, but names mentioned on the forum would be Elite, Bob Romano and RDP - the later is northside tho

I can recommend UMR Engines in Moss Street, Slacks Creek - Mark has done the engine rebuild on my '62 Compact Fairlane, and some other automotive repair work as well, and I couldn't be happier with his helpful attitude and top ethics.

Hi just reading your post
Ive got a guy that gives old school service (you can talk to him) and seems reasonable enough in his pricing hes a one man operation at Marsden on the southside behind Supercheap and the garden supply hes into old cars and hotties/racing even if they are Commodores go and talk to Lindsey at Marsden mechanical and RWC or ring him on 32996141 hes done RWCs and services and picked the problem with my AU after it just stopped ( the crank angle sensor) which had me stuffed sorry for the AD but these guys are hard to find the only other mech I found to be trustworthy was John French (Dick Jonsons old sparing partner) off Moss street thanks John |

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |
