Brisbane workshops

Can anyone recommend a workshop for alignments and general work in Brisbane for modified BMW's?

I was going to a reputable shop in Milton but they told me they don't want me back. It's the shop around the corner from BP/McDonalds near the XXXX brewery.

I dropped it off to get some new rear tyres fitted, an alignment and check a squeak in the wheel and their tyre machine took a chunk of paint off my wheel. Instead of doing the alignment and check the squeak, they fitted the tyres, parked it out the front and basically told me to get f*cked and blamed everything but a simple sorry and offered to get it fixed or finish the work gratis. Wheel repair is $175..

I've been going to Bob Jane at Chermside for about 20 odd years. Keith (the owner) and most of the staff know me very well and they have never, ever scratched or damaged a rim. The guy that does the wheel allignments is a perfectionist.

That's the one.

Wheel repair man came by and couldn't fix it. All that could be done was a 'touch up'

Did I mention WP were kind enough to put their sticker on my rear windshield, I couldn't believe it!
