need a shop referral
 
i have a set of rods and pistons i need installed... does anyone reccomend anyone specific? i dont have the tools, the time, or the know how to do such a project.



BTW i live in Holiday so the closer they are the better...

nobody would trust anyone in the area to do this work?

BisquitMan 10-25-2009 01:47 PM

Nope.

Garrett 10-25-2009 01:51 PM

lol... then who would you trust to do this?

ive heard good things about 1552..... anyone here actually dealt with them personally?

BisquitMan 10-25-2009 03:43 PM

I know a guy in Lakeland, don't know if you want to go that far though. He is good and cheap.

Yes 1552 great bunch of guys. Had some work done to the GTI before I bought the vehicle and their work was top notch

It's not a difficult process. Are the pistons already pressed to the rods?

mech7777 10-26-2009 04:44 AM

Yes well it is pretty damn hard to do if you don't have a shop to pull the parts off at or the right tools to do the job to begin with. Hell if you are only going to this kinda of job once. It will cost you more in tools then it would to pay someone to do the work. So my recommendation is to have someone do the work who has the shop, the tools, and the knowledge.

Wow your recommendation is pretty redundant, since his original post stated that he lacked "the tools, the time, and the know how"...

Garrett 10-26-2009 08:36 AM

the pistons and rods are still in the boxes never been opened...
