Can anyone from Western Melbourne recommend a workshop that will happily take a Mini for RWC?
Alot of calls I make they all seem unwilling.

Cheers

There's a dealer or BMW work shop in airport west I think , the one I just bought was serviced there ?

Hi molly,

Coopar is after a RWC for his classic Mini. Life's a LOT easier if you own the new MINIs!

A lot of RWC guys have never worked on the old Minis, so aren't confident on performing roadworthies.

and with all the new rules and regulations i.e. take photos
for some of them it is all too hard so they cant be bothered

There is a mechanic on Melrose Dr next to the racv shop. He is fair. Picked on a few things but fair enough, seat belts fraying, rear drums. But all required doing.

I'll try and get the name of the place when I get home. They are required to do a test on the brake pressure etc which they can't do with drums but he just ticked it with dads car.

A bit further out, but these guys gave me good honest feedback for my Minis at the time, and were comfortable with them.

Not Airport West but I am in Lilydale and do RWC Inspections at work. My family has had Minis for over 40 years and I have had them for over 25 years.
If you don't find anything closer we can help.
Link Automotive in Mitcham should also be open next week and can organize a RWC for you.
Good luck and hope this helps.

talfox do you know the name of the Melrose drive place off the top of your head?

I cant seem to find any racv places when I google them.

Just got mine done in Geelong, I think the guy went very easy on me. Picked me up on number plate light faulty, missing wheel nut (don't ask) & a possible oil leak. All resolved in two hours . He was very easy on me.

I had my address incorrect. As I said, this bloke is happy to do the roadworthy but don't expect him to write you one on the spot. he will check that the vechicle is safe. Cheers
