So my 150,000 service is due in about 2 weeks. I have been quoted over $700 by reputable workshops that I would prefer to go to, but to put it straight, my financial situation is not going to allow for that for a few months (will be another 20,000km).

What exactly needs doing? Is it really going to make a shitload of difference in my situation if I go to a rocko spec mechanic that will probably cost 300 bucks less?

I would be supplying my own engine oil and filter but I have no idea about coolant or what other stuff they replace. I have been using a callout mechanic for my minor services lately and it's been costing about 110 bucks as opposed to good workshops charging 450 for the same thing.

I usually try to go for the best workshops available and do the right thing but it let's me down when you drive 1.5hrs to race torque, and $1300 later you find out they only put one thermostat bolt in which defeats the purpose.

Cheers.
