Service maintenance on your car?

Horkus · 02-11-2009, 08:44 PM

Just wondering, in VIC, where do you usually take your car to for general maintenance or Services/oil changes, brakes,engine flush, coolant changes, spark plugs, timing belts?....etc
I personally never visited a dealership or repair facility after I graduated grade 12 Automotive from my high school. which is approx 15years ago....

I do engine oil change and general inspection myself.
For other maintenance (coolant, tranny, etc), I bring my car to Richmond Subaru and ask for either Hansel or Steve to work on it.

If I have the tools to do it, I will, otherwise it goes to DD Subaru. Or if I'm lazy/no time to do it kind of thing.
