    Hi ppl and happy new year.
    I'm looking for recommendations on good HD certified mechanics, with fair prices in Sydney. Im happy to go to any suburb. 

    I looked through the first 7 pages, but most topics are 9-11 yo. What are your recent experiences with good mechanics? What would be a fair price for an iron xl883 16.000 service?

    C&R engineering revesby does good work.
    Can’t complain about Sys at Campbelltown either.

    P&L @ Toongabbie (have used them for about 10 yrs now)
    C&R @ Revesby (used a couple of times before I went to P&L - P&L are closer to me now as I moved)
    LA Cycles @ Hoxton Park - have had them do several Dyno's on a few bikes. 

    Sy's used to be good but they recently lost their head mechanic so not so sure now. Personally I would keep away from most of the Dealers and stay with the independents.

    Agree imoo. Seems there is/was quite a bit of staff movement at Sy's and I would think twice before taking my bike there now or in the foreseeable future. Head mechanic from Sy's is now in a different role with another HD dealership. Treat your staff with contempt and make them unhappy means poor work in my opinion.

    Soft...

    Prices at P&L and C&R were fair - neither will bullshit you re what needs doing and both have done great work for me. 
    Plus the other advantage with these guys is that you get to talk to the person who is going to do the work - not some workshop mgr who in most cases knows f..k all.

    Are you talking about Greg from Sys when you said they lost their head mechanic?

    Yep - I know he was the workshop mgr and not actually on the tools but he knew his stuff and worked on my bikes when he was on the tools.

    Any idea where he’s moved to for work?

    someone only mentioned the other day ( to me not an internet post ) they got a small job done at HH Blacktown & mentioned not real impressed with the workshop manager. Latter went to a private work shop to get same job done again. but just what owner of a late Harley I know personally told me. I don't know anything about Blacktown Harley or how it is run, since Metho Tom died.
