I’m looking for a trustworthy local shop to install my new differential on the car in my sig…

It’s a drop in piece, by Powertrax, and re-uses all the other stock components (carrier, axle shafts, ring and pinion, ect). Should be fairly easy ( I just don’t have the time or desire to do it).

Basically, just looking for a local place that I can trust. Suggestions and offers are both welcome.

I’m located in McCandless.

Thanks guys,  
Shawn

Guys, thanks for the quick info.

> pm lou(sonico3snake)

Yeah, I tried that first (on SCS). He hasn’t gotten back, so I figure he’s probably overworked and too busy at the moment.

I’ll drop an email to Rodeheaver’s. It’s a bit of a hike for me, but I’ll make the trip if I can trust the shop. The website definitely looks nice.

Thanks again.

Quik, I didn’t know you owned/worked at a shop…I see the thing about JJ’s in your sig but I thought it was some kind of inside joke.

Well Rodeheaver’s emailed me back with a very fair price estimate, so I’ll be taking the car to them. It is a bit of a hike, but I liked the way he sounded in the email, and if the owner of this site recommends them they’ve got to be good.

Thanks for all the info guys. You rock.

Follow up…

Dropped the car off on Tuesday and picked it up today.

Rodeheaver’s did a GREAT job AND has very fair pricing.

I highly recommend this shop for anyone looking to get some work done.
