Hi from Geelong, Australia

[nev7899]

Hi,
Great to see so much enthusiasm around the Grenadier.
I ordered mine in July 22, so hopefully should see it before the end of 23.
I currently have a GU Patrol with a 6Lt V8 and auto, I completed the conversion myself.
I’ll be doing plenty of offroading and camping in the Grenadier once it arrives, and look forward to setting it up to suit my needs, my 5yo son can’t wait either.

Welcome Ben - heaps of info, lots of view, much discussion and some BS all under one roof!

I assume Rex Gorell is your agent - has Simon been able to give you approximate Melbourne Port ETA?

Get the name of the ship and track it yourself like the rest of us are.

Tried that - agent says he didn't now the name - when I queried how he then knew approximate port date - he said from a spreadsheet with my VIN on it.

Doesn't really matter now - hopefully I get it in a month.

Yes, Rex Gorell is the agent. I spoke with Simon last week and took their demo for a spin. He informed me that my order had a VIN, which tells him it has been built. I’ll ask him if he can provide anymore info.

Thanks

Anyone here have any comments as to Rex Gorell’s service department?

I’m in south west VIC, and will have to drive to either Melbourne or Geelong for my 12mo service, trying to decide between Rex G, and Brighton auto group.
Right now I’m Leaning towards Rex Gorell, as their schedule suits my timing better, and the price of service is $70 less.

12 month service quote (1 Nov 2024):
Brighton Auto Group Melbourne: $950 + $12/day loan vehicle
Rex Gorell $880

 

[Mumblepants]

They’re still figuring this car out unfortunately
15,000 km service $880 with free loan car (need to request it)

If you want more detailed info hit me up.

Just had the 15k service done at Rex Gorell. $880 plus loan car (got a new Fieldmaster for the day )

I’ve done my 1 year service right at 10,000KM they’re Ok. Not impressed.
Likely won’t return.
Several items on my list not addressed.
Also, oil level checked 3 weeks later- Add 1L per the computer they shorted me a litre.
I’ll try Brighton Auto in Melbourne on my next yearly service.
