New Signage Up & Looking Good

by admin on November 1, 2011

We’re in a pretty busy street here in Northview Street in Mermaid Beach, so it takes a bit to stand out.

We got some new signage the other week that looks fantastic and really catches the eye – look for the groovy sign next time you come in!

New Sign for Jimbos Gold Coast

Bugger!

by admin on October 20, 2011

You wouldn’t believe it!

We have a couple of cars here as loaners for clients who drop their cars in for work and who need transport.

It’s a service we’ve offered for a few years now.

1 Car Down

Unfortunately, we’re 1 car down at the moment after one of our clients borrowed the loaner and it was the stolen outside of his pace, driven to Logan and torched!

That was, if you can believe this, after the client’s previous car was stolen from outside his house, driven to Logan and torched.

Sure are some idiots around – apologies if we don’t have the usual 2 cars as loaners.  Just dealing with our insurance company know and will get sorted as soon as possible (which could well be 2014 if I know insurance companies!).

Cheers

The Post Easter Mechanics Job

by admin on April 28, 2011

Hope you had a very relaxing Easter.

Many people go away over Easter, with many heading to camping spots.

The best bit of advice I can give people after these sort of breaks, is to thoroughly wash the car off all sand.

Sand causes a ton of problems, so it’s best to get it off everywhere you can find it on your car.

Cheers

Roadworthy Certificates Gold Coast

by admin on April 15, 2011

Here at Jimbos, we do a lot of Roadworthy checks to provide roadworthy certificates.

It’s one of the things we specialise in – if you’re looking for a fully certified mechanic to carry out a Roadworthy check on a vehicle you’re looking to buy (or for any reason), then we’d be delighted to help.

Give me (Jimbo) a call on 5554 6075 and we’ll organise a convenient time for the Roadworthy.

We’re very conveniently located just outside Surfers (off Surfers Ave) and have a courtesy car available for a small daily hire fee.

Cheers

Cheers

Can We Use Ferraris As Our Courtesy Car?

by admin on March 22, 2011

Great question over on our Q & A page!

You see, we often service Ferraris here at Jimbo’s and many of our customers see the Ferraris in the workshop.

So the logical question has been asked – check it out here.

The Cost Benefit Decision With Old Cars

by admin on March 21, 2011

One of the challenges we have here as mechanics at Jimbos is working on old cars that have seen better days.

Old cars tend to, naturally enough, have more problems.  More:

Time for a new car!

  • oil leaks
  • wear and tear
  • fatigue issues

Sometimes the maintenance costs to keep an old car outweigh the benefit.

After all, it’s no good having to spend $500 every 3 months to keep a $3,000 car on the road.

Our Promise To You

One of the keys components here at Jimbos is that we tell it like it is.

So if your car has seen better days and you’d be better off buying a newer one, then we’ll have a chat.

We’d much prefer less work and have you with less maintenance costs on a better car, than having you continue to throw good money after bad.

Cheers

Jimbo
