Amazing job would recommend

Head unit, reverse camera, uhf and led light bar install

$500

David is a friendly and cool guy (rolls his own cigarette). Absolutely knows his way around interior of cars. He has never-say-die attitude, achieving goals no matter how tough it is, as tough as laying wire from the light bulb at the rear to the dashboard. I am happy with the upgrade and am thankful I didn’t do it myself. 😜

What does a mechanic service usually include?

Mechanics are skilled in nearly all aspects of keeping your car maintained, serviced, and repaired, so it’s roadworthy and efficient to run. The exact process during your service will depend on how your mechanic prefers to work and the type of tasks they’re doing, like:

Minor service

This is the most basic engine service a mechanic provides, but it can make a huge difference in whether or not your car can operate efficiently. A minor service usually alternates with a major service, at around the 6-month mark. A mechanic near you can do minor services because your mechanic only needs a flat service to get the job done. They’ll unscrew the sump plug, allowing old oil to drain from your car. Then they’ll remove the old oil filter and replace with a new one that’s the right size for your vehicle. Your mechanic will dispose of your old filter and oil. They’ll also inspect other key components, like your battery, lights, air filters, and other fluids.

Log book servicing / major service

A major service or log book service involves a series of steps in line with your vehicle manufacturer’s service manual. It’ll include a combination of major and minor services, depending on the age of your car, or how many kilometres it’s travelled. Your service may include testing your lights, brakes, and battery. Then checking fluid levels, windscreen wipers, windows, mirrors, steering, suspension, radiator, fan belts, and tyre pressure. Finally, it may also include maintaining/replacing oil filters, hoses, belts, tyres, and wheel alignment. Your mechanic will finish off by stamping your logbook to record the services completed, which can help maintain your car’s resale value.

Roadworthy certificate or pink slip

A roadworthy certificate or pink slip is a specific vehicle check that’s conducted to ensure your car is in a roadworthy condition and can be operated safely. In some states, it’s required when selling a car or may be required each year to confirm your vehicle is safe for registration purposes. A mechanic will check off a list of predetermined items to verify that your car meets a minimum safety standard set out by your state government. They’ll focus on safety, checking things like tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, rust or damage, seatbelts, windows, lights, and your windscreen.

Major and minor repairs

Sometimes your car might need a little extra attention if you’ve had an accident, broken down, or your drive feels a bit different to normal. A car mechanic can perform minor and major repairs on most vehicles. They’ll use diagnostic equipment to locate the issue and decide on a course of action to get your car back on the road. If they don’t have the necessary spare parts, they may need to order them to finish off your repair and replace any faulty parts. Note that a mechanic service is usually limited to your car’s engine and electrics. It’s best to speak to a panel beater if you also have external body damage.

Install a new head unit. In a C3 Corvette. -Trim the plastic fascia for the new head unit. (Must be confident to be able to do this so that it is neat and without causing damage. -Install the new head unit so that it is installed properly and secure. -Connect the new head unit harness to the car wiring, so that everything works (Must be confident that you’re able to figure out which cable does what) -Connect the speakers (2x 6” in the dash and 2x 6x9” in the back) -Wire up the electric arial so that it goes up and down when the radio is turn on/off. -Test everything to make sure there are no issues. Additional info: -The interior of the car is stripped, so all wiring is easily accessible. -The old original head unit was working, so the wiring should be ok. -I have access to the wiring diagram for the car. -I have installed a new electric aerial but I believe that the existing relay needs to be bypassed to connect it ( I have a video on what needs to be done, but I need someone that will be able to work out how to make the arial go up and down when the radio is turn on/off, if the instructions on the video doesn’t work) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0OL5h4sDNo
