Wed, 12 May 2004 23:16 Any respectable workshop will treat your car with the respect it deserves. Some complaints need ot be driven in a certain mannor to be able to diagnose them and then confirm they are gone after repair. We are luckythe M2 is close for anyting up to 110kph and of course we have the dyno for High speed/rpm complaints. That being said a GOOD workshop will have strict rules on who does what with your car. Hell in the last 9 months I have driven countless GTR skylines, Lotus, Porsche, Audis, Alfas, TT supras, Stroked/supercharged commodores, Corvetts, 10 second VL turbos and countless race and rally cars etc etc etc. I couldn't tell you how any of them drive over 30 or 40 kph ! Hell if I so much as gave one a Squirt up the block and back I'd be on my way to Centrelink ! Any workshop that lets the apprentice drive them isn't somewhere I would consider going to, not even for a pink slip ! To be honest its fairly simple. If you have a performance car you should take it to a performance mechanic. For starters if they are anything like us there will be strict guidelines on driving customers cars and who can test drive what. Secondly when they are used to working on Race cars and high performance streeters they hardly get excited when something powerful arrives. Mind you I guess we go to extremes here. We won't even employ apprentice mechanics as we place to much importace on the job being done right the first time. You just can't mix inexperience and high performance. Fact is you tend to get what you pay for. Performance isn't acheived by the lowest bidder, as I said before, Performance cars require performance mechanics. When you drop your car off be up front with them. ASK them who drives there cars etc. If they have nothing to hide they will happily tell you. just my 2 cents.
