Hey guys just thought I would say stay away from tyre world o'cconor.

Gave him my car for a wheel alignment (which he did fine) I walked in the door to pick it up his first words "that's a piece of shit" when I asked why he said you can't even get it in revers and when you drive it it feels like the whole car is drugging.

Thought to myself no need to be rude an was confused on what he was talking about it drove fine when I dropped it off what has he done.

So I get in the car he has put it in low range 4wd I'm lucky he didn't blow the box going round the block like that. So I pop it into 2wd clicked it into revers with ease the car drove smooth as.

So that's my storie Brendan.

that's not the first time i've heard of a "mechanic/tradesperson" do that to a brumby. I find it best to tell them about the dual range lever next to the handbrake, it saves them from being angry and embarassed.

Wheel alignment and exhaust are about two things we have to leave to others., know how you feel. Maybe some vaseline all over the 4WD lever next time ?

Couldn't help myself went in there asked him what he was doing touching the 4wd leaver he would not admit he touched it tryed to tell me I must have knocked it as I got out when I dropped it of.

Just makes me realies if you want a job done properly do it yourself!!
