Hey Everyone..
I've been lurking for a while, but I've run into some trouble with the mechanic who has my '68.....Because I don't have a garage, I had to sublet the engine to be rebuilt. The workshop that I sent it to has already rebuilt the engine, but has yet to supply me with a written estimate. As well, I have wanted an estimate to get some welding done, as well as new ball joints...I keep getting an excuse as to why I haven't gotten my estimate...what should I do? The guy that I am dealing with is an older German mechanic who does good work, but lacks any business savvy...I don't want to piss him off because he also services my Jetta, and is really the only game in town, other than the stealership....which I refuse to deal with.
So what would people suggest? Getting the car home and doing the work myself isn't an option, as I don't have the space, nor the expertise to do the work properly, and the workshop that has the car now also has the engine from the car. So....what should I do?
Thanks,
Peter
