Aj car care
4 prestige drive, clayton.

Aj has been around rwd toyotas for years, i use him for all my rwc, work i cant do at home etc, very good, very well priced, even has asked me for parts a few times, there are always 86/70/71s around the shop and has alot of experience with 4ages. Also has plenty of experience in the honda world aswell.

This thread can be super helpful. lets try and keep it up to date and informative with quality service providers only, as finding a decent tradie these days is near impossible... I've had my car for 7 years and I'm yet to find a mechanic I'm completely happy with


Not taking anything away from Chris aka shift_rook (Shockworks) as he's awesome at what he does and a very credible member of the 86 community but i'd like to add these guys to suspension just as another quality option this side of town if for what ever reason Chris isn't an option/available for your suspension needs.

I've taken my car to these guys for years, they can come off as a bit arrogant at first but they really do know their stuff. They do an amazing job and are worth every little bit of coin (Bit more expensive than your average joe suspension place but still reasonable). They deal with many track cars and actually own and race one of the fastest RX7's in aus (circuit) as well as doing many suspension set ups for various other professional race cars such v8 Supercars. You can be assured you'll get a quality job and they are quite honest and give you decent feedback and options. They do ALL suspension related work from alignments to custom coilovers.

I'd be very interested to see what they can offer for the AE86, what brand of shock do they use?

[JDM-086]

more of a work shop rather than parts supplier, they wont be able to better the products your supplying. They do offer a good trustworthy service so i thought it was worth a mention.

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic anywhere on the north or west side.. I think I've had about enough of my mechanic.

I get the mrs car serviced at hogan automotive on northern rd Heidelberg west and think he is quite good, never taken a 4age there but he was great with the vienta so I'm taking the Subaru there now too.
