Hi,
Can anyone recommend a really competent mechanic in the northern suburbs of Thomastown ?
My drum brakes a starting to grind during stopping
I'm also wanting to replace the clutch and brake reservoir to tin ones at the same time.
Please help as summer is here and I wanna go cruising with my mate who has an EH
Many thank you.

Gaz,
Thanks for the offer but I'll need a total overall check and service too.
Can someone be kind enough to recommend a mechanic who has enthusiasm to service our old girls ??
I can't drive my FC as the front brakes are grinding but have a mate with a tow truck so distance is no worries at all. Please help .....

Since you've widened your search area, Hoppers Stoppers will do work on older cars. They are in Hoppers Crossing as the name suggests.
