Hi,
I know this question seems to get asked every few years, but the mechanics that were recommended in the past don't seem to come up when I google them.
 
I live on the Gold Coast, but I'm looking for a really good mechanic to complete a full mechanical overhaul anywhere in the South East QLD region (I don't mind driving that little bit further to go the right person eg Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba etc). My 1994 SW20 is creeping up to the 200,000km mark and requires the usual full service (time belts, fluids, pumps etc) but it also has a oil leak, blows smoke and has a slipping clutch just to name a few things.
 
I'm planning on keeping this car for many years to come so if you know of someone good I'd really appreciate your help, and also any tips that anyone has on inexpensive upgrades/improvements (hopefully within a few hundred $$$) or essential changes that should be made while the motor is out. 
 
Thanks.
Colin

How urgent is the work?  I'd be happy to discuss, but I'm fairly busy at the moment.

My old mechanic from Sydney, who knows his way around MR2s very well, is now on the Gold Coast operating as a mobile mechanic, but I think he may also still have use of a workshop too.
 
His name is Rob Biviano and this is the link for his business: https://www.prestoautomotive.com.au
 
Rob did an engine swap for me (as well a normal servicing)... taking out the original Bathurst engine and putting a BEAMS Redtop in. I'd be more than happy to recommend his work.
 
If you find any other good MR2 mechanics on the Gold Coast, I'd be very interested to hear about them too.

Get in contact with 'scope' he's a highly regarded local mr2 specialist.

Very cryptic clue! How on earth does one find 'scope'? 

Scope is on these forums. Send him a PM.

OK. Thanks 5SGTE 

Hi Dennis the menace. There's no great rush. Most probably over the next month or 2. I'm just doing the leg work so I know where to go and re-registering an old car so I've got transport while the MR2 is in surgery.

Thanks mister2. The only thing that concerns me is whether he can do a full recondition now that he's a mobile service. I'll give Rob from Presto Automotive a call and check it out.

Scope, LouDen Motorsport, Road and Track were all ones that were recommended in older posts but I couldn't find them on Google. I never thought of looking up their username. Thanks 5SGTE
