Reliable Mechanic in Cape Town

Post by Moabfi »

Greetings.

I have searched the forum for any Info or referrals.... So im adding a post.

I'm in need of the services of a Mechanic to repair / diagnose or overhaul my engine.

It's a SR20det.

My mechanical knowledge is very limited...so i might not be able to repsond to all your requests/enquiries.

I have done numerous searches on Google and visisted a few garages..... But wasnt successful

Some responses were that parts were not easily obtainable or they dont specialize in turbo engines, or never return your call.

Any suggestions or referal will be appreciated.

Thanks for reading....looking forward to the response

Regards.
