Triumph TR6 - how to find reputable mechanic
OK guys...don't fall out of your seats with laughter. I am the original owner of a '76 TR-6 (less than 25K miles) and because of children (too numerous to all fit in car), I haven't been able to drive it too much. Moved to Marietta, GA area a while back...met a guy who has a TR6...mentioned the mechanic that I was referred to and he said, "NO! Don't go to him...and when you find someone to take your TR-6 to, let me know!" Well, that shot my confidence ... I am REAL picky about who lays hands on my little car. Now I need a good mechanic for an over-all tune-up and have no idea where to go. Anyone have any connections in the Marietta/Atlanta, GA area? Or what questions do I ask Mr. Mechanic when I start looking? I guess I could start a new hobby and learn to do this all myself... but the only thing I know about cars is where to put the ignition key and sometimes that gets a bit iffy! I have toyed with the idea of selling the Shrimpy car but just can't bring myself to do that. Please help if you can! happy driving! |

Hi Must be nice to have owned your car from new, and can understand your reluctance to let any one at it with a spanner!So why not have a go your self, buy a Haynes or factory manual and read them and start on the simple servicing jobs .Your confidence will grow with experience, they are simple basic cars to work on and a pleasure aswell.

So-o-o-o-o, if I were to try this -- and mind you I already have enough hobbies to last one lifetime -- where would I find this Haynes book or a factory book? Can they be ordered from the web? Thanks for the info. |
