Newport News, VA mechanic

[Bean]

Can anyone recommend a good 80 series mechanic in the Newport News, Virginia area?


Also, can anyone recommend some places to go with my 80 in this area?


TIA

Damn right im in VA. We usually go to either GWNF in Harrisonburg or Devils Ditch near Charlettesville for trails. As for a shop I have yet to find a good one.

I lived in the Hampton Roads area for about a year and I didn't find many places to go...except for the beach. You can be at the Outer Banks in about an hour from Newport News.

Devils Ditch (Charlottesville) is about 3 Hours from Newport News and GWNF in Harrisonburg (My Hometown) is between 4 & 4.5.

Uwharrie is about 5 hours from Newport News.

I'm in Chesapeake, Va Beach and Norfolk. Maybe we can set up a wrench-a-thon this three day weekend to keep up with the PMs. I do not know any 80 good mechanic in Hampton Roads other than me I do all the required maintenance both scheduled and unscheduled that is why I have the FSM and EWD and of course ih8mud.com

ironpig is in Fredricksburg -- kinda far from Newport...but perhaps not if you have nothing else.

Thanks guys. Hey MikeD good to see ya. The outer banks sounds like a cool place to wheel after living in the desert for 7 years. I'll be checking that out for sure. I'll keep my eyes open for a good wrench in the area.

MikeD used to be my mechanic, but now I live 3000 miles away from him and I get fined if I am caught with my hood open in the parking lot of my apartment building.

Thanks again!

hey Bean...take it you are new to the area as well. I just moved out here in Nov. The weekend wrench-a-thons 4x4 suggests sounds like a good idea.
