anyone know of a good independent shop in the cherry hill area? i'm located in collingswood...

thanks!

I don't think there are any.



If you are willing to go 30 minutes north of there, some options open up, depending upon what it is you need done.

i can do 30 minutes...

What mechanic work did you need done?

fortunately, nothing broken yet, but then again, i've only had it for 5 days... give me time...

the "romance" of working on my (well, in this case, my wife's) car is long gone for me... i don't get a charge out of it like i did when i was a yute... also, since i have no garage (and thus, not a lot of tools), it's not really an option at this point to do any "major" type work (plus, it's a dd for my wife, so it can't be sitting there for a couple weeks while i figure out how to do something)...

i'm looking for someone to do routine stuff... fluid changes, etc...

i know i'm gonna want a set of bilsteins on it... probably asap on that... although i'm gathering from reading that if i wait for a mod day, and bring lots of beer, someone will assist in that...

i think i can handle putting on the shrockbars... although you never know, i can be quite a klutz given the opportunity...

so, that kind of stuff... i want to avoid the dealer's service department, other than for warrrantee work... since they cut me a good deal on the extended warrantee, they get that work for a few years, anyway... assuming they don't try to mess with me (and assuming something breaks that i don't break myself)...

Oh, yeah, hook up with NJAX

NJAX.net

and say hi!

NIORA4x4club.com

and say Hi! too.

They both have mod days in your area, and there's a few people waiting on their mods too, all of whom are happy to do a barn raising/X-modding sort of thing.

Hell, 30 minutes north or so, and Lawrenceville is in range...we do mods in my driveway all the time.

good deal... thanks tj...

lawrenceville is practically next door...

Shoot, for the right price drop your Xterra off at my house and I will change the fluids and put your shocks on for ya!

Not a problem....... I live in Burlington County too.

I think Schteve recommended a good independent mechanic on time in Medford. PM him on NJAX and see what he says.

Stone

will do... thanks again...

sliders are on order... jim said about 3 weeks...

next is for me to make sense of the boatload of posts i found about which bilsteins to get... :rolleyes: search is your friend, but let me tell you, it can be a confusing friend, that's for sure...

i am an ASE-Certified mechanic that's about 20 minutes from cherry hill (in medford). send me a PM if you're interested and i'll give you the location, phone number, etc. or i can come up to cherry hill to help with things for cash to make it a little cheaper. or you can PM me on NJAX (which i'm there too who probably Steve might tell you about) under the same screenname.
