Need a good repair shop that won't BS me

[Bumpin Expo]

I need a good repair shop that won't BS me. I also need a place open weekends because I go to work and school full time.

I have some check engine codes on my truck. I've tried everything I can and am throwing in the towel. Any suggestions? I can't stand local place's BS so I need some serious suggestions please. Thanks

What are the codes...

What are the codes...

P0171 and P0174. Most likely it's a vacuum leak. I dont have the means to check for a leak so I am pretty much dead in the water. MAF has been cleaned and tested and so has everything else suggested. Let me know. Thanks.

Did you reset the computer after cleaning and testing the MAF

Advance/Autozone do code testing for free.
That might pin point it.-Bob

hey man i got a backyard/redneck way of checking vac leaks. turn truck on while cold so fan isnt spinning, light cigarette/cigar/smokey thing. blow smoke near vac lines. wherever the smoke goes, theres your leak. worked for me a couple times. good luck!

A friend of a friend of a friend told my friends friend that her friend takes her car to this guy named tony meehan. Supposedly he was a straight up honest guy who was up front about the work he did on her car, and this lady was mentioning it to everyone she came across. I guess if she was swinging on his nuts, then maybe he's worth a try. I found his number for ya.

Perhaps it's time to put your car on diagnosis. Check out service centers in your place. They might have good guys to figure out what's goin on. Probably, you could post some of the error codes you've encountered. I might as well do the job for a price that is reasonable to you if it's ok...

i took a car here as recomended by the dealership i bought it from and the guy is a joke. total hack job on my car resulting in having to take it somewhere else to have the clutch redone.

Being a past tech and service advisor at ford. On the 4.0 when you have lean codes for both banks its usually intake plenum gaskets. Make sure you do upper and lower with the isolator bolts. Also check the pcv hose they are known for collapsing. If further diag is needed buy a can of brake clean and spray the plenum and pcv hose to find a small leak. If the brake clean enters the leak it will cause the engine to increase in revs or if you have a large leak it will cause the engine to almost stall. The job is super simple. Just takes a little bit of time.

I guess every shop has there good and bad experiences......i had great luck with Tony Meehan, he replaced the head gasket and Roller rockers on my supercharged lt1, did it in a day and price was very good, I wouldnt have a problem going back to him.
