Couple of updates for Colorado mechanics;

Proffitts has closed shop, and Classic Cruisers has a website at classiccruisers.com

Baertrax in Dallas

Just had Josh at Baertrax rebuild my front and rear axles and differentials. Went from 4:11's to 4:56's and am thrilled. He has a great shop, is honest and forthright, and manages his business well.

Josh is very detail oriented, he did a great job setting up the diffs, and even powder coated the pumpkins to make them look nice. The truck drives beautifully.



I am going to have him install an OME lift and ARB bumper next month.

Highly recommended....

Mike

Most are from personal experiences and recommendations (note the deletion by tuesdayprepper- and the lack of Florida Techs)

I like that there's a nice list by state now, I would just add G.P. Auto in Gainesville. Gunner is the mechanic there. Best mechanic I've ever delt with. Not only does he do a great job, but let me do a ton of work myself to save some money, and taught me a lot in the process. Awesome guy, wouldn't take my truck anywhere else. Also, he's funny as hell. Only catch, he only works overnight.

Georg @ Valley Hybrids

Georg I almost moved there just so I could be a shop rat at your place!

Thanks again for all your help last year!

P.S. Salt Lake has a couple shops that do great work too!

 

[Bedford]

I find it hard to believe there is no shop in North Florida...Jacksonville or even in South Georgia. Anyone heard of a place?

 

[MoGas]

Is there any chance of the main listing post getting updated so people don't have to look through the whole thread?

 

[ukaviator]

List has been updated.

10 new shops added

Thanks

These guys were great, a little expensive but not out of line for the service they provided .
