Technical Help! I am looking for an old school repair shop in Dallas-Fort Area for a modern car.

My son drives my old 2006 Ford Explorer 2WD V6. One of the bolts that holds down the crankshaft pulley broke off.

I am looking for an honest shop that will drill out the broken bolt and replace it with a new bolt and torque it down to specs.

Any HAMB'ers know anyone. I'd even be willing to pay a HAMB'er for their help.

Thanks,

How much clearance around the pulley is there?

Not this guy

 

I highly recommend White Rock Automotive Garage at 8916 Garland Rd. in Dallas,TX. 214-321-3321
They have been serving the White Rock area for 50+ years. They are honest and fair.
I went to high school with the owner back in the 60's. He's still a good friend.

 

Sorry, can't help with the mechanic recommendation.

But, curious how the bolt broke?

 

I'd have to check on that.

I had the engine rebuilt before he took it over, so it could have happened from not being torqued down to specs.

Tom Loving is the owner (local circle track racer for many years) recommendation from Mickey Davison

 

I spoke to my friend Tom tonight about your broken bolt problem. Tom said "...no problem...we'll have it
out in a jiffy! Not a big deal either, we've done many just like that." Tom is going to tell his manager Mark
to expect you.

 

I also would second this I remember Mark very well from back in the day. Used to watch them run there sprint car at the old Devils bowl back in the day.
