They fixed my starter...really fixed it!
Yesterday I posted my story about how my '76 broke down at the wrecker when I was getting parts for my '69.
Anyway, the wrecking yard is run by a couple of brothers who also run a really good garage. I had them take a look at my starter today and they fixed the problem without much problem. It turned out that the bushings in my starter were just worn out. Instead of just saying "Your starter is shot I'll sell you a new one," he took it apart and replaced the bushings. He charged me less than half the price of a new starter and the truck starts better than it has in months. I love it - a repair shop that fixes instead of replacing and saves the customer money!

Truck is gone, wife isn't. Nuff said. Last edited by bluec10; 10-08-2004 at 12:11 AM. |
