Look Feb is almost gone! This month is always short. We are looking foreward to spring here , only 29 more days. I worked on a boat on Sat as people are starting to look foreward to warmer days. We've been steady here this month , Got the little
fire truck sent back home. We've had a few school busses in and out over the last week, mostly just minor stuff like lights and rattles. We've got two Nissan vehicles in the shop now, one needs new hubs on the front and a new brake caliper which is on order. The other one needs a new fan hub and fan, hope to see those parts tomorrow. We put brakes on a Chevy Suburban today. Looked at an A/C issue on another pickup today also.
I charged one A/C system on Sat . I have a chevy pickup i nedd to get in the shop and pull the heads on it to see why it keeps getting water in the cylindersa, i'm sure it has blown had gaskets or cracked heads, we will see. Had a Dodge pickup that kept dieing the other day ,turned out to be a burnt connection at the ignition switch , repaired it and am waiting for it to be picked up. Lucky Cat is fine , she spent the night out last night but came back for breakfast this morning. She knows where the food bowl is ! Thank you to all our great customers for your continued support.!

Well well look it's almost Febuary already. Like only 56 days till spring! Lets see whats been happening at the shop all month. We put a transmission in a F150 and it went back to Dallas , i talked with the customer and he said it is good. We fixed several vehicles with broken door handles lately, that always happens when it turns cold. Found a problem with a F150 that wouldn't stay in time , it was a broken pin on the distributor, sent it home today. We are currently working on a small fire truck, almost done with it, the heater core and radiator had gotten rotten. Put a heater core in a Chevy diesel pickup and fixed a bad coolant leak on it's engine. Worked on a tToyota pickup today. Rebuilt the front end on a Dodge pickup and sent it home today as well. We put a water pump on a Mustang the other day , it left yesterday. Sent a few vehicles away that had took up residency on the lot , trying to make more room. We have a F350 here that we put a radiator in and now have figured out what was wrong with the fuel guage , should be able to finish it tomorrw . Rreggie is now finishing u a water pump on a F350 now so it can go back to work tomorrow. The other day we got a feed pickup in that only wanted to turn right. we found a broken idler arm and replaced it and it went back to work. Lucky cat is ok, she's been staying out more and more lately , don't know whats up with that , she's probably two timing at another food
bowl. So we'll see what tomorrow brings, thank you to all our customers for all the work that keeps us here , Good Night.

Happy New Year , Everyone! Hard to believe its almost 2018 wow! Time sure flies . We opened up in 2008 almost ten years ago already! Thank you again to all our customers we wouldn't be here with out yu , thank you again and i hope it will be a great year with lots of happy days! I'm looking foreward to see what it will bring.
Been really busy this last week , Got the chevy squuare body done and sent it home , it really turned out well. Put a timing belt in a Hyundai V6 just to find out it has further engine damage , waiting on the customeer to see if he wants to proceed with that one. The Dodgediesel turned out good so we were finally able to send it home. Finished the School Bus electrical issue and sent it back home so it can pickup all the happy children next year. Still working with a Ford diesel i think it needs two injectors but have to check out a harness first. Got another Ford diesel that don't like the cold weather , hope glow plugs will be the cure. Worked on a industrial air compressor that had a electrical issue , thankfully it was just a bad wire in a harness , so it went home. Got a Dodge one ton to rebuild the front end on, I came in today to get a start on it as it has to go on Tues. Got a busy week in front of us for the first week of the new Year ! Lucky Cat is fine she just does her cat things , i had a car in the other day that must have had amouse in it she looked and looked but i don't know if she got it or not , i found evidence of it in the car. Have a Happy New Year and I'll see you all next Year!!

Allright, the day after Christmas , I really hope everyone had a great Christmas. I know I did! Lets see what's going on at the shop, Finally got a good set of fuel injectors in the Dodge diesel. The Ford diesel with cold start issues needed new glow plugs and a relay and it's back home and I hear it is well. The other Ford diesel is still here with more challenges to work through. We are allmost done with the Chevy
squrebody, just like plugs and wires for tomorrow, we ended up rebuilding the front suspension on it and a new power steering pump. We put a clutch in a Interntional medium duty truck last week and it's back home. Got a school bus in with a electrical issue during the school break, just waiting on a switch for it. Tomorrow i will be putting a timing belt and water pump on a Hyundai, I hope.
Got like five new jobs in today , just kinda felll on us , i guess the long weekend was hard on stuff. Lucky the Cat stayed in out oif the cold over the weekend and is fine inside tonight . Really had alot of traffic through here today and thats good , I stayed at home yesterday and relaxed with family, so this week will feel short but we will try to get as much done as we can. Thank you to all our great customers , try to satay warm as we go through this winter, Good Night!
