yeah, like he said. What kind of work are you trying to get done? I may know a good tranny guy who sucks at engines or a good engine guy who sucks at tranny's. So that information would be good to know.

I don't live In Corpus anymore, but I was born and raised there, so I know a guy or two. Once had a guy fix my wrecked 1982 honda accord (it was pretty bad, I rear-ended a ranger) for 250 bucks and a set of tires. You could NOT tell that car had been wrecked!!! I would give you his name, but my dad said he got deported...hmmph

What exactly is the problem you need help with? You'd be suprised by the amount of money could be saved by doing the work yourself if you have the right answers.
