finding a mechanic

Alexis Neely
 

Someone on list recommended The Wizard in S. Florida
as a mechanic, but he will not put the bilstein shocks
on our EVC unless we purchase them from him. He wants
to charge us $130 per shock! How do you find a
mechanic who will allow you to bring the part?

Thanks,

Alexis

Alexis,

I ordered the bilsteins last week from shox.com for $349, delivered, and
Steve at Bugnutz here in Sarasota is taking care of installing them for me.
Unfortunately, Shox shipped them to my billing address up north instead of
to Bugnutz like requested, so I have to wait another week. (Nokia, on the
other hand, got my tires to him in 4 days.)

I had the shocks installed on my Vanagons at a regular tire place that I
knew did good work. Is shock installation a brain surgery kind of thing?

Joan,

How much is he charging you to put the shocks on?
Also, does Steve work on Saturdays?

Thanks,

Alexis

Joan,

There are a variety of EVs being discussed in the forum, and I forget which one you have, but in most cases shocks are very easy on an EV. ?No special tools required that any decent mechanic wouldn't already have, no extensive disassembly/reassembly of other components. ?With a lift, air tools and an honest clock, I would think this is a half-hour job for most EVs.
