Good mechanic in Brunswick/Essendon VIC area?

My little WQ Fez is up for its 45,000 kms. As its outside the warranty period and i am flat out broke, I want to try a trustworthy and good valued mechanic.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Was going to mention the dealership I work at, but unfortunately we aren't cheap, but you do get your car washed and vacuumed out.

How much do you guys cost?
The city ford in Melbourne has quoted $306 and according to http://www.fixedpricecarservice.com.au/ mechanics around my area are charging $200.

Fez appears fine and just needs a regular service but it does have an annoying squeak in the rear which I'm thinking is either the rear seat mechanism or the suspension. The angry mice have been annoying me muchly recently, so if the professional ford people are able to kill the squeaks I'm happy to pay the premium.
Its a small premium (i'm more scared about about the 60,000k service).

We charge $110 an hour, I work at Essendon Honda, our minor services on our cars hover at around $230, but we service everything, even 4WDs etc.

I'll give you our number, ring up service department and they should be able to tell you how much for a service:
