I had my 1971 Ford F250 brought in on crutches. It wouldn't start and transmission seemed to act funny prior to that. Made an appointment with Brad. Jeff who did the work was very busy but he did get to it. After the initial troubleshooting with compression tests it was brought to my attention that two cylinders were misfiring badly. The diagnosis was it might need a engine overhaul or new one with estimate north of $1500. I was very nervous and Brad must have felt this because the next call was the following day. After looking underneath the valve covers, Jeff found one bent push rod, carburetor fuel /air was out of adjustment, bad fuel pump, bad main gas tank (auxilllary OK) which explained the odd behavior of the transmission. Jeff fixed all the problems except the gas tank. It is filled with crap and I will probably have it replaced. I stress your mechanics are just people too, especially when they've been dealing with a problem child before yours. Give them some room to figure it out and you will be glad you did. I gladly, paid $460 cash for a great job. My truck passed emissions that weekend and it even runs better than it did before it stopped. The shop is kind of hidden next to another shop and needs a bigger building or sign. Thank you guys!
