Hi Guys
I'm working in Toowoomba for six months and wondered if there are any Mini Workshops up there.

OK, if you are looking for a mechanic to do the work for you (i.e. not supply parts) you can try Humphrey Motors on Stephen Street (they have worked on my mini since 1973). Tell them Nick sent you.

If you want parts and/or someone to work on your car for you go to Hansen's Automotive and Gas (6/244?) McDougall Street. Both lots are good people. Rodney (Hansen) is a member of the MOCQ and so is Josh (one of his workers).

Both are trustworthy and won't try and rip you off. I know that Rodney makes bugger all off the supply of parts and it also makes me feel good to support a local business.

If worst comes to the worst and you need replaceable parts like dizzy parts etc on week ends you can always get in contact with me cause I always have brand new dizzy caps, points, condensors etc lying around.

Nick's on the money....Rodney is fantastic and knows what he's doing. Great service, can get you anything that you need, and get's the job done fairly quickly.

TK MOTORS. Rod used to work for them, until some young blokes turned it into a Ford Wreakers yard, and I think they went broke!!

But Rod I can recommend. He bought my mums Mini Van!!

Hey Nick thanks for the info. I've seen your Mini parked near my work. I work for the BSA at 131 Herries Street.
