at the end of the day their service might be great but its the way they treat you as a customer that will make you come back. I've heard and experienced horror stories from ALL workshops in Perth, but its how they fix the fuckups that make the difference.

There are a number of good workshops in Perth...some that have been around for a while... RMS, Racetorque, Tenagah.
Personally I have used Maximum Motorsport since 1994 and they have always looked after me (2 X WRX's and 2 x STi's). They build championship winning rally cars and are well respected around Australia. They specialise in Autronic.
Disclaimer: Yes I do have their windscreen banner on my '06 STi.

Also as stated in this thread, there are some newer so-called "fashionable" workshops around....it is yet to be seen how they will stand the test of time.

+1 for me, easy to get on with, no bull, fixed plenty of problems which were not associated with their workshop for me (due to faulty parts etc) no probs, happy to just do labour only for fitting of new and 2nd hand parts, what more can I say.

ASG for me....went to Maximum once, wasn't happy with the customer service i received, but not saying that they do it to everyone blah blah

disclaimer : i have nothing to do with any workshops, strip clubs or brothels in perth

further to this, I have been to Cypher, X-Speed, RMS, Speedworks, ASG, Tenagah as well.

All were pretty good, however they did different levels of work from fitting a boost guage to changing and re building a gearbox (within 36hrs of it happening...ASG ++)

Where I have been to some of the above once, others between 3 and 10 times, I have been to RT somewhere between 20 and 50 times.

It's about establishing a rapport and being professional. I can take my car there and leave it for weeks, even months, it get taken home by owners for tuning cold starts on their way to work, if I'm working during the week I can drop it off at their place on the weekend...It takes time (and pumping alot of $$$).

Personally I have never been to MMS but have had talks with owners and have been happy with thier people skills. Problem is they are the wrong end of town for me and if I need to go that far I will stick with who I know (RT, AST) until they shit me off.

Xspeed - but im biased - Anthony Scali is a brilliant tuner. Fabian is a awesome mechanic, and Andre is a very smart fabricator.

Wouldnt question Sean @ ASG either - he could modify or tune my car any time and I'd not be worried.

The common link for both above - they are enthusiasts - both had modified their own cars and enjoy them as much as possible.

Being an ex nissan man, my scope of workshops is totally different. Ive never walked in the doors of RMS or MMS for example - that will change no doubt.


* I have known the xspeed boys, and sean and the ASG boys for numerous years, therefore this is some sort of gay disclaimer to avoid emo times.

We'll i spose i shall see how ASG is on tuesday. I put my car in for a compression test + 75k service. Costing me $250 for the service and $88 for the compression test. RMS was $360 for a service and Tony Flood was $304. Still has me boggled why ASG is $100 cheaper :P but each to their own.

BTW i found Tony Flood was a fairly nice mechanic. He had a 10 minute convo with me over the phone about how he thinks my AFM might be on its way out and a few symptoms after i explained what my car was doing.

But once again, each to their own!

P.S. Why are there so many mechanic workshops in Malaga and places so far away!

For me, I go to ASG. I've known the boys there for a while now, and I like how they are the no-bullshit type. They'll tell you how it is, and you will get the work done for a decent price and a high level of quality.

Best of all, they are enthusiasts first and foremost, as well as mechanics. They'll take pride in your car because of this.
