I'd be wary of Belmont Motor Repairs. I was charged $1200 for a service,timing belt & new water pump in my 99 model Camry by them & my car came out driving worse than when it went in. I rang BMR the same day telling them what was wrong & that I needed my car to be right for my uni exam period- they assured me it was only the wheel balance causing the shuddering I was feeling. But things got worse (shuddering badly, even when idle) so I took it back in to them 3 weeks after the initial service & work had been done & explained what had been going on- told them it felt like a wheel was about to fall off at one stage. After a BMR mechanic looked at my car for half an hour while I waited they told me that I most likely had a compression leak causing my engine to miss & told me I'd need to book my car back in with them for further testing/repairs. I went straight to Nova Auto in Hamilton instead for a 2nd opinion & they performed a compression test in front of me (took 2mins & no leak), they showed me that BMR had fitted a new water pump as they'd said however they had re-fitted the old thermostat which had seized instead of putting a new thermostat in with the new pump, along with other problems they found & showed me on the spot ie. left front wheel bearing needed replacing, throttlebody covered in carbon, no. 3 sparkplug soiled & dead (all of which could have caused the shuddering). I'm in the process of writing a letter of complaint to BMR now actually. Very disappointed- they used to have a good name but since my troubles I'm now hearing other things. I'd recommend Nova (seem a lot more reasonable with pricing and standard of work), or Belmont Auto Centre (right next to Belmont Primary School) are always reasonable & handy location. Good luck with it.
