Default Just moved to Orange, NSW. Recommendations for mechanic

Hi Folks,
I've just moved to Orange from the far Nth coast, NSW.
Far better weather down here ;-)


Immediately, I need tyres and wheel alignment, so after recommendations.
Also after a good mechanic in the longer term.


Thanks in advance

Give the guys at Brakepro Lithgow a call for recommendations.
Been in business there for on 30yrs.
They formerly were a spare parts shop and to date keep selling to local mechanics to Bathurst Orange.

Bathurst Wheel Alignments do all of my stuff from XR6 Turbo drag cars to farm vehicles and heavy vehicles for work stuff.
