Talking Got Back My Jeep Tonight And I Owe A Huge Thanks To Raider Ron!

Just got home from picking my Jeep up at Raider Rons house and it runs like freakin' new.....Ron, you are a truely talented mechanic and I am very much in your debt for going above and beyond in helping me out of a jam......thanks ever so much!

Ron not only got that broken bolt out for me, he replaced the timing chain and gear, replaced the housing gaskets, set the timing beautifully, put the waterpump and radiator back on and got it up and running......for cryin' out loud, he even painted it all to match the color that is on the block!!!! I ran it all the way from Wrentham to Abington and the thing feels like brand new! Got it back to me in 48 hours on a weekend no less! Ron.....you get a big five thumbs up from me

Raider Ron gets a first class rating from the BigFish for being a real class guy and a great human being (not to mention the most able bodied mechanic I think I have ever met)!

Just not enough people around like RR! Plan on coming surf fishing with me Ron....it will be a great time! Thanks again!

PS-I promise not to thank you anymore.......so thanks again!

Oh...one more thing.....he even fixed my broken door handle! (thanks)

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

RR run a shop anywhere?

It's hard to find a good mechanic these days, what with shops trying to charge you an arm and a leg for a wee little fix.

I work a full time job at a body shop and I have a fully equiped body shop at my house that I run part time during(summer & fishing time) and full time the rest of the year (Yes ,I do have a lot of energy!!!) Run 3 snow plow trucks hired by the state during the winter also!
I do most all phases of mechanical repairs but my main thing is collision & paint work.

Sweet, maybe he should try and reform you by making you a few New England Patriots plugs!
