Default Re: Need mechanic recommendation

My buddy Al Males, of Al's Auto Care is an "old timer" mechanic here in Flemington, NJ. He works on tons of old musclecars and his service station is usually where everybody in the neighborhood hangs out on weekends in kind of giant brain trust/think tank/spouse avoidance man cave. He was a dealership line mechanic in Newark, back in the 1970s. He has helped me out on a bunch of obscure musclecar issues over the past decade and a half. His # is 9087827442.

I just drove by his place a half hour ago and there was a 67 Charger, a 1970 Riviera, and a 70 340 Dart being worked on at various times. He does a lot of work on older Corvettes for locals and non-locals as well. He also works on new cars as well. A great mechanic and a fan of these old cars. Tell him Steve with the hemicharger sent you.

If you were at the MCACN last November you may have met him. I brought him with me to the show. I am trying to drag him away from his work again for this year's show.

Thanks Steve,

I will give him a call and, with any luck, he can get the old girl running like she should.
