After many years in Bentleigh East we have moved to Rye on the Mornington Peninsula. The level of service won't change just the location. It may seem a long way from Bentleigh East but it is only about an hour drive to Rye. It thats that long to get from one side of Melbourne to the other these days. Plus I have organised some alternative ways to get instruments to me. With a new workshop I am ready to provide servicing and repairs well into the future.
