Been a long time member, but due to trouble free motoring have not posted in a loooong time.
Due to the recent retirement of my go to mechanic I am now looking for someone with VXR/HSV experience to look after my 2009 VXR8.
Looking for for someone north of the border, ideally as close to Aberdeenshire as possible. If not as close as possible, to limit travelling, but if needs must don’t mind a road trip to Englandshire.
Got the usual ABS fault, rear passengers speed sensor, so that will need to be looked at, also a good service.

Apologies if this has been asked before, I have had a look on the forum and couldn’t see anyone, but that might be more my computer skills than anything else.

Thanks in advance

Cant suggest anywhere north of the border, but AAS are in Newcastle (not much further if you're coming from Aberdeen) and have plenty of experience with these cars.
I'm sure someone in Scotland might be along soon and recommend somewhere a bit closer for you smile

Try the groups on Facebook, not many owners come on here frequently.

Not especially handy for your location but Bridgend Garage, Kilwinning.
I had my braided brake hoses fitted there because the workshop manager at that time had a VXR8 and had worked on another forum member's Bathurst VXR8.
A phonecall would confirm if still so.

I use the Dreadnought Garage in Callander for my Monaro. They're not Monaro specialists, but do a great job. Plus they have the advantage of great roads north and south, so good fun getting there and back as well.
