My name is Greg Brown and I am the very proud owner of a BF GT. I have always wanted a GT Falcon since they first appeared so long ago. Like most people of my generation, children, houses, education and medical expenses absorbed most of our disposable income until the kids left the nest…. Now it is our turn!!! I bought the GT in November 2006, and was very happy with the performance of the vehicle but I sadly missed the sound of the old time V8 that I had expected from a performance Ford. As a result, I had an aftermarket ‘cat back’ exhaust system fitted that was noisier than the standard system but was subject to a drone that irritated me to the point that I wished I had not changed the system from the original. After looking around the internet (yes, I am not that old) for a while, and scanning the Ford online Forums I decided that the best exhaust system for the GT and me was going to be the ‘Herrod Full S/S Quad System’. I checked out the Queensland distributor closest to me and it was Elite Automotive, this is how I first came into contact with Paul and his team. Our first meeting was productive and to my surprise Paul contacted Herrod in Melbourne on his mobile phone while we were discussing the deal so that he had the most up to date information. What better service could you get than that!!! He even had a Ford with a similar Herrod system that he started so that I could hear the system on the car. It was just what I was after. I am a person that wants what I pay for, no B.S., no frills, no stories about why things are not what was ordered or delivered, I just want what was agreed and paid for at the price I agreed to pay. These days that can be a rare commodity, honesty, integrity and just good service. I suggest that if you can get such professional service, advice and commitment from your automotive repairer then good luck to you, but I am willing to bet you won’t!! Are you?

My name is Jeff Campbell and I am writing this testimonial to Paul, Jo, Tim and Hugh at Elite Automotive. I was first introduced to Paul by my plumbers supplies store manager as it is next door to Elite Automotive, Hassan the store manager said that I should meet this guy next door who owned a rapid XR6 turbo that really flew. I met Paul and he straight away came across to me as a very honest and sincere person who obviously knew what he was taking about in relation to cars, at this point I did not realise that I would be requiring his services. A few months later a few of us including Paul were at a drive day at Willow Bank Raceway when my engine expired in my super charged DJR320 ford Falcon sedan, at the track Paul could not have been more help he thought that I had detonated a piston and as it turns out he was exactly right. I took my car to his workshop were he carried out tests which confirmed his beliefs, at this point he offered to rebuild, no actually begged(sorry Paul) to rebuild my engine. Now As I really did not know Paul and Elite Automotive all that well I was very hesitant to go with them as at this time they only appeared to be servicing and minor repairs mechanics. The XR6-XR8 Club of Queensland that I am a member of us an engine builder of great reputation that I wanted to do the engineering works for the rebuild, so I contacted Mr. Ian “Woody” Woodward and he advised me that he could rebuild the engine but needed someone to remove, dismantle, reassemble and install the engine back into the car so after much more begging and grovelling (again sorry Paul) I agreed to give him the job. Now you must realise that my car is my pride and joy and it was a tough decision to go with someone that I didn’t really know that well, well as it turns out I could not have made a better choice, the team at Elite Automotive are some of the most professional people that I have ever dealt with, I was kept informed at all stages of the works and was made welcome at the workshop at any time. We discussed options in relation to the repair or rebuild of my engine and it was decided to take the opportunity to make it stronger and bullet proof, Paul and Woody removed, rebuilt, and had my engine installed back into the car within 3 weeks from start to finish, this was a fantastic effort and I could not have been happier with the result. I am now very pleased to call Paul, Jo, Tim and Hugh my friends and have no hesitation in recommending Elite Automotive to anyone who requires anything form a service to a full engine rebuild. Thank you Elite Automotive Regards Jeff Campbell J Campbell
