I`ve always had good luck with the cars/trucks I`ve owned., no accidents, no wrecks or blown motors.
Of course they were all Fords/Mercurys....

Ive had good luck with most fords. The later model 8-8's Ive had really good luck on.

The ford cars that I have owned, with the exception of the mustang, didnt impress me though. My grand prix took alot of crap that those ford cars never took.

That was mostly early to mid 80's ford cars though.

would it be a good idea to call one of the high schools in my area to see if they'll do it in their auto mechanics class for student teaching purposes or experience ? ... i heard they would do it as long as you pay for the parts? oil etc..

lol seems like a good idea, untill one of the kids tries driving it into the shop with no oil in it :| eek!

I'll call tomorrow

In Saskatoon you have to know someone or be in a class to get into the Kelsey Institute of Applied Science and Technology. I don`t know about the high schools.

When I was in High school it was your own car or the teachers cars and sometimes the dealerships toss a car to the school for the kids to practise on. Usually it would be a car that is not to sold afterwards.
Kelsey it was when I went your car or teachers car, Rarely did they ever get to cars that the public brings in.

In my old high school it was the teachers vehicle. It was kinda neat, but the teacher was a real moron and sometimes it was almost like slave labour so he could get his ride finished.

Always chevies too.

Kelsey goes by the students cars first and then the publics cars. If you want your car worked on you go down there and fill out the form. I worked on a couple other peoples cars.

What I remember off the top of my head was a timing belt on a VW Jetta and a starter on a 5.4L Ford truck.
