Default Road Worthy Places

As title suggests, does nyone know of "honest" places that do Road Worthy's, within the eastern suburbs.

Also, anyone know any really good Radiator places, seem i cannot fix the probelm, due to lack of tools, time and know how.

Any help greatly appreciated.

A place not to go to is razz automotive in glen waverley. They charge a lot and don't fix everything, making you go back again ... and again ... I learnt a lot about my EF veeery quickly, that's for sure.

i reckon it would take less than 2 hours to do above mentioned. It's a piece of **** too. $220 sounds ok, if i were a mechanic i'd charge 300 for such a bullshit job.;)
