Melb central locking/immobiliser installation

[Ext User(PITTBULL45)]

Can anyone recommend a place that will install central locking and an
immobiliser in Melbourne city or the inner north?

Have heard a couple of horror stories about 18 year olds and cutting tools.

Cheers,

They have fitters here a lot older than 25, I have had two radios fitted by
them, Strathfield, and I have had no problems so far, although it has only
been four years since they fitted them.

Sorry if you missed the pun but its rare these days to have fitters within
that industry that are or a more mature age. Hell when I was doing it a few
years ago I was the old fart in the workshop at a ripe ole age of 28! Its
not at all a high paying industry and for someone of mature age doing it
must either really enjoy it of cant get out of it for one reason or another.

Okay, it was the Old Timers Disease that got me there, didn't see the pun
but, when you think that Dick Smith started out fitting car radios,
makes you think of what "SOME" young blokes can do to make a quid

I know I used to do it! Fun while it lasts but the pay sucked.

You get a lot of freinds very fast in that industry. PIty most are just
hangers on.
