Good MEchanic in NE Ohio

[ScottZ]

Has anyone had a good experience with a good mechanic in the greater Akron/Canton area. I normally do my own work, but this summer is getting too busy and I have a race in a month. I need the intake manifold gasket changed and I may need the rear serviced.

Thanks.

I do my own work and do it well. Maybe you just need a hand. Two people can knock out stuff pretty quick.

I appreciate the offer, if that was an offer. I have a guy that set-up my ring and pinion (which I think may be related to the vibration I now have) but he can't get to the intake manifold gasket until late July.

Perhaps you are right. The only way for it to be right is to do it yourself. I am confident I can do it ( I installed the headers), exspecially with help.

Gary,

I am waiting on Cantonracer to see if he is interested before I can make any commitments. Would you need the car at your dealership or is this something on the side. The car is driveable, but i do have a small garage to work in if you can come down to the Falls. I'll pay your mileage. Send me an e-mail and we can work out some details.

Thanks.
