Easiest is to go and pay the workshop a visit. Don't call. You get a better idea of a place by going there and seeing what sort of attention and service you get.
Ask lots of questions, as Mr. 2 said, educate yourself and less likely to be ripped off.

Because you have an aftermarket ECU, namely Autronics you are not really restricted, most shops can look after you. RMS, Tenagah or ASG and good old X Speed are all very competent for Autronics tuning.

I use Tony Flood/Flood Motorsports for my mechanical works/ Engine/Gearbox/Diffs etc. Why? Tony's prices regularly beat the rest and his quality is second to none.

and Exleys Tyre and Brake in Willeton for...you guessed it

Sean at ASG gets big thumbs up from me. I have also used RMS and been very happy with their work. You also have Maximum Motorsport in Malaga who are very well known and respected rally car builders and mechanics. Add RT, Xspeed you can see there are plenty of choices here in Perth but all are busy so book ahead. I still believe as others have said previously, do as much as you can yourself! My 2 cents.

Racetorque would be a good one since you have an Autronic ecu. I have had lots of work done there from services to turbo's, brakes, suspension, complete spec C engine rebuilds, you name it, they can do it. Straight shooters, will tell you if they think something is not necessary or foklore....Mind you, one needs to establish a rapport with a workshop before expecting them to bend over backwards for you...

Negatives can be; price, usually competitive but can blow out when things go wrong. Time; they are often very busy as are heavily involved in the Asia Pacific Rally Championships. Communication; Always ask to speak with Lane, Dave or Lindsay, often the guy that answers the phone will not know the full story when your doing complex stuff...

Done most of my car's work at RMS. I cannot tel u that they are the best coz i only been to a few workshop not all.

But the service and the way they treat u at RMS is fairly polite and gd. I would highly recommend them if u need some help for ur car.

Gd luck wit it mate
