Default Help needed - no more ripoffs

Greetings - I need help finding a vehicle repairer in Darwin that won't rip me off. I am not after a cheapie who does lousy work I just want someone who does what they say they did and charges only for what they did.

Case1 - car winds over and does not fire - diagnosed as fuel pump relay - cost was $187 - part $24 labour $49 Computer diagnosis $116

Case 2 - 150 k service with radiator flush - Cost $500 - two days later car started over heating and had no power steering fluid - I was informed I must have drained the fluid out - suggested perhaps it wasn't put in - told to F off. Fluid is pouring out of power steering switch.

As a pensioner I don't have money to blow on work not done. car is now needing to be topped up with radiator fluid every two to three days

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help (AU III XR6)
