Hi Folks,

I've got a 92Z 2+2 that needs mostly cosmetic work but some "tune-up" work done as well. Just moved to Bucks County so I any guidance on where to go would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Where in Lower Bucks are you? I know an excellent mechanic in Morrisvillewho has been mainrtained my fleet for many years. He works on anything.

As far as body work, I've had good experiences with Jim Taylor in Morrisville, and Faulkner Collision in Bensalem. Taylor is a small shop, Faulkner is a newer big shop, But they've only done minor collision repairs for me, no customizing.

Just to be clear...I'm not interested in customizing...just basic maintenance

New Hope? Hmm, the few folks I know in New Hope all drive new cars, so they pretty much do the dealer route. I'm sure there are some excellent mechanics right in new Hope. I would think your neighbors could direct you. I met my mechanic when he opened his shop, so I've known him for many years. If you want to travel down to Mville, I'd be happy to direct you to his shop.

At this point it's important to me to have someone who knows what they're doing so I don't mind the travel if you don't mind sharing information on your place. Thanks.

You can drop my name (not handle) if you;d like, but he might tell you that'll double your price . Actually he's a very good mechanic and I trust his work.

Hey guys/gals. Decided to finally poke around on the forum if any repair shops in the area. I live in Quakertown so this fits in perfectly for what I'm looking for. Is that shop the closest one to where I'm located or are there any one's closer?

I have an SR swap so I'm a bit cautious with where I take it. So far I've only had it in for inspections and I keep an eye on it like a hawk.

Quakertown is a good 50miles north from my mechanic. I'm sure there are plenty of good mechanics closer to you.
