Best service in VT! Extremely knowledgeable and very fair pricing.
A year an a half ago I took my 1960 Ford f100 here to have them add disc brakes and rebuild my steering box. Never again. After having the truck most of the summer, once receiving it I noticed numerous problems regarding their repairs. When I got the truck back the steering wheel was significantly out of center. The steering felt as loose as before they did the rebuild. They told me "old vehicles have loose steering, it's normal." It isn't supposed to be THAT loose. I found castle nuts that attached the steering box to the frame without cotter pins. I found many unused parts that should have been used during the rebuild (I supplied the rebuild kit). Worse was it wasn't until many months later I went under to check to see if I could find something causing the loose steering and I found that I could move the sector shaft arm with my hands. (They would have had to temporarily remove the sector shaft arm in order to work on the steering box.) It should have been torqued to the shaft at 200ft.lbs! If the sector shaft arm fell off while driving it could have made the truck uncontrollable. I immediately torqued it to proper specs. This was my experience. I'll never have them touch my vehicles again.
