    maybe he doesn't actually own a 348. I've always suspected it was a MR2 based replica

    Now i've never met this guy, but i bought a BMW from canberra that was serviced regularly in his workshop. I don't know what they were instructed to do, or who did the work there, but some of the stuff that i had repaired on my car as a result of stuff they either missed or did improperly wouldn't earn any sort of reccomendation from me.

    These include problems such as

    After market air filter being installed too close to the engine without appropriate heat shielding. I had some shielding fabricated so the filter could serve its purpose.

    Throttle body hoses were disconnected, as were the heater hoses.

    Oil cooling junction sprung a leak, in spite of the fact a repair to this system was itemised in costello service records a mere 3000km earlier.

    Admittedly it might be a bit speculative to put all this on the workshop of a guy I've never met or spoken to, but i feel that the state the car was in speaks for itself. Just be warned if you take a car down to him.

    Interesting, AC does all the work on my neighbors 740 and X5 and he speaks very highly of him (as do some people in the trade).
    He specializes in BMW's, so you'd never take a Ferrari 360 there for anything more than an oil change.

    well brother im on the gold coast now
    but chris hedges and a costello used to look after my cars.
    then they got to busy and picked their customers so
    then i took my cars to rudolf in sydney.

    two of my cousins in canb own 360 spiders. i am pretty sure they go to sydney as well to get serviced. wat do u own michael

    Cars : It's in my profile.

    All the 355's, 360's 430's and 599's that I know in Canberra go to Sydney for anything more than oil changes or wheel aligments, because the locals don't have the experience, manuals or diagnostic tools to work on these cars.
