| - I needed to find a local mechanic close to my office so I could get a ride back and forth. My 2004 Chrysler needs a lot of repairs, so I decided to try out Gene's to see how well they would do with an outer tie rod end replacement.
I called, on a Wednesday, shortly after they opened and asked if they had time to do the job. I was told that if I brought it down ASAP, they could have it done by the end of the day. Woo-hoo!
Gene's is located on the west side of the road behind the Kalil office. Look for 2730 and he's right behind it.
The waiting room was clean and comfortable looking, but I didn't have to wait. Drop-off was super fast. I filled out some minimal paperwork, gave him my key and off I went.
My ride was leaving around 3PM, so I decided to call to see if my car was ready. It was! A few minutes later, I was back at Gene's. Checkout was fast and easy. The cost? It cost a little over $300 to replace both outer tie rod ends and perform an alignment. I actually shopped this around and this is competitive. It's not the cheapest price I found, but it's the least expensive for any five-star mechanic that I've seen!
The car drives great; the shimmy is gone, the steering is tight and I had forgotten the simple pleasures of a proper alignment.
Like I said, I have more repairs to do, so I'll be heading back to Gene's. Thanks, guys!
