Diesels are in South Austin (1 Viewer)

[arcteryx]

Ok, I went over to get my TB done on my TDI tonight. When I pulled onto the street, I immediately was elated- there sat not one, but two HJ45s. One was a RH troopie and the other was a RH cab with a bed. I asked my TDI mechanic about it and he said his name is Shawn and he just started bringing this into the states from Down Under and plans on selling them. He also said, the nice ones are in the garage bays. I walked and checked them out and for the most part they had little rust, but needed some TLC. Much better than your typical 40s in the sates though. The garage windows were painted over, so I could not peak inside. I am working on getting his number, but my question is, does anyone know this guy? Location is in South Austin. I will post more when I know, something, but man, they looked sweet!

Did you get any ball park prices?

 

[arcteryx]

no, they did not know. They said he does not come there too much, as he has a FT job.

Who's your TDI mechanic? I need one.

Thx,

Jeff,
I went to Robby Plenge. www.runonbeer.com You can see i he does more than TBs, I think he does. Also, are you a TDIclub member? There is a list of reputable machanics listed by state. PM me and we can talk more.

That's cool he's part of Austin Bio Fuels. A coworker of mine buys his WVO from them.

Yes, very cool. I have been using B20 and B100 in the Jetta since I moved here. All Shell stations in Austin have B20, which they supply.

The location link on their site austinbiofules.com has a great link for locations. Now I know where to get the good stuff. http://www.austinbiofuels.com/?page=Retail

You can PM me- I have his phone number. I will see if it's acceptable to give out, as I am not posting it on a forum.
