Hey there my friends, so just sharing out some info about a job I did recently on a 2012 VW Golf Gti.
So it happened to unfortunately done a seal on the main drive shaft from the drive belt/supercharger pulley and the water pumps Impella. So the customer informs me that his regular mechanic didn't want to touch it cus it European/imported, well I guess his business will go out of business some enough as ALL CARS are imported these days since Holden and Ford Aus packed up shop sadly to say, but anyways getting down to what really matters here, is the savings I was able to get and give the customer NOT just on the part but the overall job aswell, so get this other parts supplier supercheap, repco etc have massive Mark up on there parts, I managed to get the part from my trade wholesaler part supplier for $150 inc delivery and the next closest was supercheap at(ARE YOU REALLY MY FRIENDS) A disgraceful $668 for the EXACT SAME PART MORE THEN likely from the same wholesale part supplier that I use, so since I DONT and refuse to mark up on any parts at all(my price is your price) that's a saving of $518 ALONE just on the part, So I ask who here could do with $518 back into there family's budget/pocket if in that same situation?
Isn't that just bu****it hey folks, like that not just a small mark up that's near 3.5 times the original cost of the part, anyways so all in all I managed to save the customer just under half price of the next cheapest/closest qoute giving.
So yeah people, if you get stuck or you run into a issue with your car, honestly msg me about it, I can give you a straight up quote/answer which you can take or leave without any comments or Obligations etc, you've dead set got nothing to lose at all and without a doubt a lot of money that could be saved just saying and sharing my friends, watch out for the "Cowboy business out there" they will ride ya as long as you let them and always get at least 2 opinions on matters to keep them square and fair in the industry ok my friends.
Anyways, take care yeah and safe motoring my friends.
Cheers and thanks.

Hey there everyone, so yeah the start of 2024 has been quite busy for myself, I've thankfully got some more happy customers that have then giving myself and the business a great word of month to others and have more work along with people to help out with saving them dollars anywhere and everywhere I can, so thanks again to those who have done that, I'm so very much appreciative of that, 100% i HONESTLY do mean that so thank you.
So my friends just a quick reminder to you all about the small things that CAN blow out to massive things, so don't forgot to check your oils, coolant and tyre pressures, as you wouldn't believe the fuel you can save when your tyre pressure are correct compared to under inflated or uneven etc which also then gives uneven tyre where, these are easy to do my friends that can simply save ya in the short and long term ok, so if your unsure of where to check or look please msg me with your car details and I can show and explain where for you to look and check for NOTHING at all but putting me at the top of this yearsZambia Xmas card list yeah.👍👌
Anyways my friends take care yeah and happy and save motoring.
(especially in schools zone areas, we had a luxury of 6weeks not worry about that)
Cheers and thanks again everyone.

Good morning to you all my friends,
So here I've got a Volvo truck which sadly had a cooling system thermostat failure(didn't open up to allow the the hot coolant back into the radiator to be cooled) which in turn then overheated the engine. The owner didn't pull over quite quickly once he noticed the temp gauge near the "H" mark but you see my friends sometimes your lucky and sometimes your not, but when you turn your car/truck/machinery or whatever off you always have a thing called HEAT SOAK which the still water/coolant gets very hot siting inside the engine block and when it's already super hot rom the thermostat failure, it "CAN" then do damage to your engines pistons even tho the engine isnt running, which is what unfortunately happens here, the number 1 piston pin which connects it to the conrod the pushes it up and down has flogged out the hole it goes thru and now the piston hits the face of the cylinder head due to the extra room it has to move.
So that's a whole new piston kit needed for the cylinder, lucky I guess it's only 1 piston and not all 6 so yeah will be doing the repairs on just number 1 to get it back together again and going cus if the wheels don't turn on a truck, there not making money so yeah sad it see that a simple thermostat failure which is normally a cheap swap out and repair turns not a small expensive repair repair.

Just a short video here of Matty's Gen 3 LS1 SS Ute Engine rebuild, just sitting there a low idle rumbling and grumbling away.
Love that car, but realistically I've got far too many cars already but still awesome to enjoy and love someone else ride, pride and there Dreams.
Great to be apart of it and helped hom make it real not just a dream of maybe one day.
Take care my friends, safe motoring yeah.

So here's some pictures of a customer's Gen 3 LS1 V8 engine from a SS Commodore ute, so unfortunately the Engine bent the #5 Exhaust Valve and basically it buried itself half way into the top of the piston and which in turn did alot of damage to the Cylinder Head to the point it was unserviceable.
So while the while engine was out and dismantled, He decided to do ALOT of upgrades to the old standard motor he had before and that more or less its near on 80% V8 Supercar Spec engine now and it sounds and goes outstandingly well for a street driven car, to be honest I'm super Jealous and would love to have and own his car just not the fuel Bill tho Hahahahaha, anyways I'll post up some videos of it running but again honestly saying the videos sound Qty is not really even close to how great it sounds in real life, standing near it or in the car when drive.
So yeah cheers and thanks Matty for your support and business my friend and look forward to continuing any further work or maintenance on that lovely Ute of yours.
Take care all, safe motoring my friends.
