Recommended Mechanics?

It seems the thread for recommended shops is gone? Or am I just unable to find it?

Looking for someone in Northeast Connecticut, central Mass or Rhode Island area. Any recommendations?

Thanks.

What are you looking to have done? I'm the traveling CRD tech, this is the ONLY vehicle I work on and I've helped over 110 of them now. I do the CRD-specific engine work on these in the driveway of the owners.

Hi Geordi, I think I need a steering rack. I haven’t positively rued out a leaking hose, but it doesn’t look too good. Do you do them, what are your thoughts and when might you be up here?

Thanks.

I'm not really set up to do something like that in someone's driveway, but it would also likely be cheaper to do with any Jeep specialist shop - b/c the steering system really isn't CRD specific.

Thanks Geordi. Now I just have to find a good Jeep shop here...

Actually the rack and the pressure hose are CRD specific !

And it seems they aren’t making the diesel ones anymore. Mine is leaking from a rusted portion of the hard line. So my plan is to take it out and bring it to a hydraulic hose shop and get them to make up something to replace it.

You are right, It's a discontinued item.

I guess I was lucky to find one last winter !!!!!

So I wonder, what does the dealer say if you bring the vehicle in to them to fix a PS leak? Wanna buy a new car?
