do you know of a good jeep mechanic in the Charleston area for my brother?

BELMONT148 · 07-01-09, 05:38 AM

I saw Glenn pulling a Jeep out of his shop yesterday. Maybe he secretly works on that junk too.

Sorry, man, I do all my own work.....

That's why it still needs the front axle rebuilt!!!.....

Brock · 07-02-09, 05:42 AM

I am going to the jeep place to check on raffles for our event they told my dad they would be happy to give us........I will ask him for a recommendation if you want on local economy.

Brock · 07-02-09, 11:23 AM

The guy I talked to recommended two places...

B&R Automotive on Cross County. Said he does good work but was a pain in the ass lately but was unrelated to his quality of work...maybe it was personality or something else.

B & R Automotive & Off Road Service
7173 Cross County Rd A, North Charleston, SC 29418-3313
Contact Phone: (843) 225-4327

Then he mentioned STONO BODY SHOP over by Glen. Apparently the owner, David Stono, does a lot of work other than just body work and used to be the VP of Southern Mudders. If he cant he will know someone that can...

Stono Body Works
1743 Signal Point Rd
Charleston, SC 29412
Phone: (843) 795-8318

B&R gives lclc 10% off labor . Talk to Randy

BELMONT148 · 07-04-09, 02:33 PM

The shop Glenn sent me to to work on my dads Chevy had 2 CJ's parked at his shop. One of them was in the bay getting a full build on. He is very good, and only charges like $35 hr for labor. Maybe Glenn can chime in with his name as I can't remember at the moment.

Jeremy

lextechautomotive · 07-06-09, 06:10 AM

Jeremy, unfortunately thats where mike's brothers cj is at, probably the one getting the rebuild on that you saw. John is good on domestic products, i just think he has taken on more work and clients than he can handle at the moment.
Hopefully Tommy and John can can continue to work together on this communication problem that thay seem to be having.

BELMONT148 · 07-06-09, 06:51 AM

I see, thanks for the heads up.

Jeremy

BBQ BOY · 07-06-09, 10:22 AM

Well John has had his Jeep for 6+ weeks justto replace a engine and new steering shaft. 6+ weeks!!!! Whenever my brother calls him he basically fusses at my brother for calling. He told my brother almost 2 weeks ago that he wa going to start on it the next day and spend all of his time on it. Well still haven't heard a thing. He won't even call my brother and tell him what is up. So there is no communication problem you see. He won't communicate at all. My brother leaves for Australia soon and will probably call my brother while he is gone wanting his money and for Tommy to get it

BELMONT148 · 07-06-09, 10:35 AM

Was he doing a direct swap or was he upgrading the motor? Sorry you guys are having trouble. He did a great job on our starter. Got us in right away and out the same morning. Sounds like he just doesn't want to work on it.

Have you talked to Lowcountry 4x4?

Jeremy

dbenke · 07-06-09, 12:07 PM

Even an upgrade, I could have an engine out and another in in 2 days. I wish I had time to do some of this. That was the original plan. I have worked on some cars and trucks in the past, but now I can barely keep up w repairing everybody's house and fixing my own.(house and vehicles)

ocdbeetle · 07-06-09, 12:10 PM

yeah really....don't they watch overhaulin' ?

BBQ BOY · 07-06-09, 01:03 PM

He is swapping the engine. My brother just called him to find out what the deal is and his secretary told Tommy that they were putting the engine in. Tommy is told the same thing everytime he calls. Oh. I am sorry. That is wrong. Afterbeing told he had the engine in 2 weeks later Tommy was told that they put the wrong engine in. I would not re commend this guy to my worse enemy.

Brock · 07-06-09, 01:06 PM

time to show up in person and see what the real work is.....

BELMONT148 · 07-06-09, 01:45 PM

Yep, if my toy had been in the shop for 6 weeks I would have been there atleast 6 times checking on it weekly. But that's just me. I have a hard time turning my stuff over to people and opening my checkbook. I want to see for myself what is going on.

Jeremy

ocdbeetle · 07-06-09, 01:59 PM

I'd have my own time card....LOL....I'd be his absolute worst nightmare......Indignant business owners absolutely drive me nuts......Its like telling me how good you are to me while you're beating me with a stick......

Brock · 07-06-09, 02:42 PM

Jim....I am the greatest.......dont mind the cane lashes...it is good for you.

ocdbeetle · 07-06-09, 02:48 PM

Yeah, and a "I have spoken" as you exit the door.....LOL

Brock · 07-06-09, 03:34 PM

So it shall be written, so it shall be done!

dbenke · 07-06-09, 05:22 PM

I'm not sure where this is going.....

ocdbeetle · 07-07-09, 01:30 PM

You going to be around tomorrow DBenke? I'm going to New life auto On Dorchester in the morning......

dbenke · 07-07-09, 03:15 PM

ocdbeetle · 07-07-09, 04:29 PM

ocdbeetle · 07-09-09, 09:11 PM

Hey David...Any 40 door strikers in the parts heep?

lextechautomotive · 07-13-09, 02:42 PM

David you wouldn't happen to have a 3spd bell housing laying around would you? I need the clutch fork pivot balll that bolts to the bell housing. I posted in the classifieds but no results yet and it is a discontinued part from toyota.

dbenke · 07-14-09, 08:00 PM

No door strikers, but I think I have the bellhousing.
If not, I have the complete F w/ trans and t-case for you.

ocdbeetle · 07-14-09, 08:44 PM
