      Hi,

      Cost will depend on type of car and currently you get a $2000 rebate although there is talk of the current goverment stopping this early( originally a 7 year plan in 2006),
      I used Mark Walker Autogas in Aldershot Road Lonsdale 8326 0977, good job no complaints,

      Ours is being done at the moment , GET quotes the price difference is huge we got from $3,000 to $5,000 so check . Also through asking lots of questions there are different systems hense the price difference . The newer system is more reliable and gives better fuel economy but does cost more , you want at least 3 years warranty from whoever you use .......ask lots of questions so you can find our which system you are being quoted for . Yes there is a $2,000 rebate from the government which the garage can help with . Cheers Graham

      I've been told that the rebate for a gas job will end this financial year, i.e. June 30th, so it might pay you to get in there quick.

      Gra, did you confirm this with the garage?
