A local company from Girraween brought in their Mazda CX7 which required replacement of the timing chain. Unfortunately this is a common problem for this model and Mazda dealers charge around $2,500 to do this job. Also most independent garages don’t have the tools required to do this job and had turned them away before they contacted me.

I was able to replace the timing chain using all genuine parts for less than half the cost the local Mazda dealer quoted.

It’s a big job that involves around a full days work but I’m pleased to report that the CX7 is back on the road with a new and much quieter timing chain.

Jo’s BMW 318is needed a new starter motor and her husband had already diagnosed the problem himself. Jo brought in her BMW E36 3 series together with the replacement part to have it fitted after phoning for a quote.

I was able to get the car back to her within just a couple of hours and she paid much less than she would have in most garages. With my experience with BMW I knew how to replace this part in the quickest possible time, much less time than the dealer quotes for this job, and passed the saving on to Jo.
