Mechanic needed Nashville.

[fourtrax]

My sister moved to Nashville a little while back and it's a little too far for me to travel to work on her car. Can anyone recommend a reputable mechanic to replace an alternator on a Kia?

Not sure where she is in relation to Nolensville, but if she can get down there, I would recommend Mill Creek Automotive. Albert is a great guy and he is a bit of a cruiser head (he drives a 92 FJ80) and his head mechanic has a built 40, but he can work on pretty much anything. He had a S2000, a 3000GT, an old T-bird, a CJ7, a Porsche and an early 60s Impala all in the shop when we dropped off Erin's GX for an alignment.

I was Happy with his work and he was reasonable. I had him replace the PS front CV while he had it on the rack too. He seems like one of those that charges the actual hours, not book.

615-283-3454, Ask for Albert.

And you can tell him Matthew Tucker sent you if you do call, he might remember us as we were just in there recently, and I also sold him a FF rear axle last month.

If you google them, go to the facebook link as the website that comes up is the previous owners. He is working on a new one, but don't think he is quit there yet.

Also, that said, if she needs any assistance, let us know. I am sure we can get someone to give her an assist if she gets in a real bind.

Thanks for the info and offer. She near Mt. Julliet. One of the local store wanted $650 to replace the alternator, she knew that was too much and told them no thanks. I told her to keep looking and I would ask around on mud. Not sure if they were trying to take advantage of her, or what. A new denso alt is only 168.00 surely labor and and even a parts mark up shouldn't add 500. To the bill.

Thanks Matthew, spoke with Albert. Going to Try to get her down that way.

Holy Crap! $650 for an alternator install is criminal, now a starter on a 100 series, maybe, but not an alternator...

If Nolensville proves too far, I have a good friend that lives in the Mt Juliet area that I can ask for recommendations from. Also, @Monty231 lives over that way, and I think @ukaviator does too.

I've heard Hobbs and sons does good work. A friend of mine owns Hermitage Tire Center. Ask for Brandon (actually any of his guys will treat you well, I just know Brandon personally). I believe Dan @ukaviator takes his rigs to Jerry at European Motorworks on Industrial Dr.

Like Mathew said if she needs any help let us know we can probably make some arrangements.

Hobbs & Sons in Mt Juliet are good people. Still a family owned business and reasonable too.

Thanks guys will pass this along.
