fishnsled Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Well just as my luck would have it, on the way into work this morning I blew the motor in the van. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions/recommendations/ for a shop that will fix it in the downtown Toronto to Oshawa area? It's a 1995 Dodge Caravan with a 3.3. I just bought it off my grandfather for next to nothing and figure it's worth spending some money on it. He had the tranny rebuilt a couple of months ago, new exhaust, and the body work done on it last year. The van is mint. Well it was a couple of hours ago. Thanks for your help.

fishnsled Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Ouch-hope that doesn't put too much of a cramp in your plans. I've still got the truck so towing the boat is not a problem. It's just the unexpected repair bill. When are they ever expected anyways?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
