Default "Trusty" Mecahnics

Hi all,

I'm a bit new to Melbourne, and am looking for honest mechanics who are knowlegeable in newer Jeeps. Am not very keen about getting my Wk2 serviced by Jeep dealers.
So,

Q1:
Do you use Jeep for servicing, or do you have your neighbourhood trusty mechanic for servicing (and fitting, and diagnostics)? (poll)

Q2:
Can you please share who/where and your experiences with non-dealer repairs/service?

Any good mechanics in south-eastern Melbourne suburbs?

Thanks!
