Did a good job fixing the falcon xr6 turbo clutch at a good price. The car ran well and fixed my master cylinder as well as it was full of gunk. Good drive home and a good yarn as well.

Thank you Jaye. We are happy that your car is driving again how it should. We hope to see you again in the future for any further repairs or servicing or even tyres. For those who read this, the gunk was a result of the clutch fluid having never been flushed and dirt entering the reservoir. This is by no means Jayes's fault. This is a result of the mechanics that have been servicing this vehicle not recommending a fluid flush.
