Louvers look good Daryl!!! :BANANA:

It was good to finally meet Ed this time! Sorry I missed you Hart, don't think it was by much, you were still there taking your clothes off when I called to say I was on my way! :shock:

Tom, what? you didn't take a picture of what was left of your spring compressor!??? :ROTFL:

( We took the 6" Metabo cut-off wheel to it!! :grim:

) Sorry Marlon ..... we tried!! :banghead:

I'll stop this week and check with the guy at Tireman up on Alexis when I go by and see if they can do it and what they charge. I'll tell him the story and he'll probably be able to help! (He's a Jeep guy too, he'll understand!!!) Sorry I didn't stay longer.

Tell me if he can help, I'll be down there as soon as I can!

Found the spring compressor I want, but 779 bucks
be cheaper to retire from doing this than "invest" in this thing I think :lol:

Should I mention the Midas on Alexis did my front shock/spring swap for $40 :shock:

Oh and the one on Monroe St near the mall said they also would do it for $40 but I did the lift at my house so the one on Alexis was closer :5SHOTS:

If we could find one of them that we could just walk into and wait that would be great. I don't know that area too well up where Larry used to live or where you live Hart so you'd have to do the planning.
I was so used to having Larrys Automotive right up the street, they knew what to do, was good at it and did a great job.
Have to train someone out here in this area, seen a place near Wauseon need to check them out also
At least everything should be easy to R&R this time around :banghead:

I think there's a Midas on Central out near 23 but at that distance might at well use your guy that knows whats what. There has to be another repair shop around Swanton some where. What about talking to the boys at Napa and see what they say? Ya know they have to be the biggest or one of the biggest suppliers for automotive parts to the shops out that way :5SHOTS:

NAPA
called them on Saturday
they suggested the place next door to them
( where we were)
so no help from them

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Tue Feb 07, 2012 4:40 pm

I say we just go to Larry's Automotive.

Or whoever knows how to do it.

I don't care at this point, if I have to fill up someone's tank from "E".

They're not open on Saturdays is a problem
You can use my garage on Friday but I have to work
convince "someone" to come out and help you ??
Of course there you have to leave them and wait ??????????????????????

Someone can do it this Friday if said someone doesn't have to work OT. Plus not only that I do believe someone has some work to do to his own pig. :jester:
