Plenty of work, but I'm thankful

I've had so many people that want me to work on their cars that I have actually had to tell them that I am booked and schedule them for the next week. I've also missed a few customers due to not being able to fit them in and that is a great disappointment. Especially because I don't hear from them again.

1994 Ford Explorer

The wheel bearings were worn out. NTB said they would not align the vehicle so I'm fixing them. There was still maybe a quarter inch play left, but without replacing the hub assembly and maybe even the spindle that was the best that could be done. I'm still waiting to hear if the alignment was able to be done somewhere else. I have personally not had much success with NTB and any of my vehicles.

First defective part replacement

Yesterday I replaced a door actuator that I had installed three months ago. The defective actuator actually seized up. I've never seen one do that before. It only took about an hour.
