It's been an interesting couple of weeks, 15 - 20 year old vehicles, especially chevy trucks, with frames so badly rusted that they start to crush in on them selves when I lift them on my hoist. If your in the market to buy a vehicle and your looking at vehicles more than 10 years old, have them inspected... Structural rot is a real thing even if the vehicle looks nice from the outside.

VACATION TIME: I will be closed July 2nd through July 14th, please do not drop off any vehicles to me during that time as they could be towed away. During the 4th of July activities I turn control of my lot over to the American Legion, you must have a permit to park here, or you will get towed. Now that that's out of the way, I wish everyone a GREAT 4th of July and see you when I return. 😁

Ok, just going to put this out there. With modern cars there is no such thing as "can you just look at it and tell me what's wrong" or "can you just hook up your scanner thingy and tell me what's wrong". It's like calling your doctor and telling him your head hurts, what should you do. We need to be given time to diagnose the issue for the proper repair. Sorry for the rant, I just get asked this way too much. Ok, now let's fix some vehicles. πŸ˜ƒ

Tip Of The Day: If your vehicle battery is four years old or older you may want to replace it. These frigid temps are leaving people stranded with dead batteries.

Update: My hoist is hoisting again. πŸ˜πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠ

This is turning into a rough week! A week and a half ago my main hoist had a cable that is responsible for keeping the vehicle level while up in the air break. I’m still waiting for parts to come in to repair it. This means I can’t lift pickups or large SUV’s in the air. Today I had a part break on a vehicle on my secondary hoist, which has effectively put that one out of service for the week. Do to technical difficulties I will not be taking any appointments this week and possibly into next week. 🀬

There are some real "bad" people out there. I had to replace a fuel pump, fuel filter, and wash out a fuel tank today because someone maliciously poured a white substance into the tank. It cost my customer over $1000 for the repair. I hope that person gets a big dose of karma.

Merry Christmas and hope everyone have a great New Year!!!

Hey everyone, I think there maybe a few people concerned about me. I'm doing great, the wife and I have been doing needed maintenance to our home and property which has made me take some extra time off this year. We've done a few fun things too. So if I'm occasionally closed during the week, its cause I'm working at home. Thank you for your patience and concern. ☺

I will be closed the week of the 4th for a little vacation.  Hope everyone has a GREAT 4th of July celebration!
