Just wondering if anybody is up in that area. My son is doing a deal for an 05 Dmax that needs head gaskets done. He's in Ontario.

His choices are
1)have it fixed locally and fly out to drive it home. Need to find a shop that can do it reasonably.
2)have it hauled to Calgary where he has friends and then fly there to fix it and drive it home. This option means less rush as it can sit in Calgary until he gets time.
3)have it hauled to where a shipper will put it on a train back to ON. The truck will drive well enough to load/unload as far as I know.

Just wanted to know if anybody knows either a shop up there or a cheap way to get it to Calgary.

Thanks

 

There must be a good diesel shop in lloyd. I've never been there but in a town like that they must have something.

 

I found J&R there, he's going to call them on Monday. He'd prefer to get it hauled to Calgary area (actually Red Deer) and then do the work himself. It looks to be a 25-30hr job plus parts at about 750$. Just trying to check out the options.

 

Been there lots but never looked for a shop that had time to work on pickups. Lot of times the big rig shops don't want to touch the pickups at all.

 

No doubt, I might be moving there next year for a new position with work.

 

Heard good things about J & R Performance from a satisfied customer today, any update on this?
