Decent Independent Shop in Harrisonburg? - xvxax - 02-14-2007
I searched. I'm looking for an independent shop that can work on domestics for cheap, does good work. I'm talking maintenance, my truck broke. Anyone get their car worked on down here and know someone who does good work? I assume if you can find someone reliable it would be cheaper to get work done down here than Fairfax, but that's just a guess. Either way it needs to be done.
I need to have my wheel bearings replaced, and possibly my transfer case looked at, if my quick fix doesn't fix it. Sucks getting stranded when we just got like 3" of fresh ice.
For now, headed out into the snow with a garbage bag to put under my back to remove my 4x4 electric motor. Electric t-cases suck.

is this like some low rent harrisonburg version of indecent proposal? sorry andy, you can punch me in the face next time we see each other. and i get to punch you for "borrowing" my tire pressure gauge
- xvxax - 02-14-2007
What does "doing" a car mean? Does that mean they ripped you off? Tell the story.
Either way I'm gonna call Faul's I think. Thanks for the advice.

i wonder what kind of lube they use to "DO" a car
- Mike - 02-14-2007
i've found gear oil to be best when the going gets hot.

75w-90 or straight weight?
- Mike - 02-14-2007
i'm currently using mt90, a 75w90... not sure how i feel about it, though. i'm going to give straight 90 a shot next time.

Got my truck back today from Faul's Garage. After purchasing a replacement transfer case shift motor from Advance Auto Parts I just took it to Faul's to intall since the new t-case harness was missing two wires that I had no interest in soldering, etc. Either way they did an amazing job and although it did take them a little longer than expected to finish what I needed done (bearings, grease, belts and 4x4 motor) they really took great care of me and I'm very happy with the price and quality of the work they did. Probably go back after spring break for more work. Thanks for the suggestion.
