headed to Tim Hill's

[mattcrandle]

i need a new hood and a few other parts that i just cant locate anywhere else, so i am headed down to Tim Hill's place in Marana. just a couple of quick questions for anybody who had been there before...

is it like a 'pull your own part' kind of place? in other words, should i bring my toolbox? dont want to drive down there and then not have something i needed. or does Tim already have most stuff seperated out and sorted?

should i call in advance and let him know what i am after or at least let him know i am coming? seems like if he is not actually a bona-fide business, he might not want people just showing up whenever.

anybody got directions to his place?


thanks for any input on this.

I have in the past emailed Tim and started a dialog on what I was looking for - then mentioned I would like to come by for the parts - beyond that I took my chances and stopped in ( obviously he new me by then) Tim has stored many 40 parts in very organized way - he has everything "pulled" he is a very knowledgeable 40 mechanic and a real nice guy to talk with - be prepared to socialize a bit when you arrive...

matt-

call his cell to confirm arrival and if you don't have good directions. Don't just show up any day as he has been splitting time in Globe (Rancho No No) and Marana for the past year.
