Bel Garage has a handful of mechanics who "knows" about AE86's. Unless you mean by "best" you mean the cheapest, someone that will charge you relatively zero labour, even come to your house and knows a squat load about AE86's, don't bother. [Report message to a moderator]

I'm contemplating on going there and getting them do the cut/weld and assembling my coilovers and putting them in the car. I got quoted 400 for that. 400 would certainly save me some time, but 400 would also be good else where! I'm not saying it's a rip off or anything, but yeh, you get what you pay for. And they say it's quality that your paying for. What do you want to get fixed? Or just want to get your car checked out? Midas checks your car for free apparently, well that's where my friend goes! I have never been there so I wouldn't have a clue. But I did get quoted 300+ for fitting an o2 sensor. [Updated on: Thu, 22 September 2005 01:40] [Report message to a moderator]

AE86's aren't any different from any other car. Not like you really need a 'ae86 specalist'. Just need a good competent mechanic (which are limited these days). [Report message to a moderator]

By the sound of it you don't need an AE86 specific mechanic you just need a decent mechanic. Last time I looked at the AE86 it had nothing extraordinary that any mechainc worth his salt couldn't work on (it's a FR corolla for furks sake ). Teh eight-six is not a speshel veehickle, only it's owners arrr EDIT: someone sensible (TurboRA28) beat me to it. [Updated on: Thu, 22 September 2005 04:38] [Report message to a moderator]

for some reason everyone thinks their car is unique and requires a specialist. problem is anyone can start a workshop and call it a performance shop or whatever and charge you for their supposed expertise. any half arsed mechanic would have no problems with a sprinter, they are about as basic as they come.
