Trying to find a good Fiat Mechanic near Nashville, TN?

Post by radionovember »

I've tried mechanics on issues over my head but it seams that someone needs to really know these cars to do the right job. Anybody have any suggestions or is it just gonna be a trial and error period?

I'll save you the trouble, I called everywhere, and NO one will take a look. But, there is one place, in Murfreesboro, which is where I live, Rays Imports 615-893-2633, there's an old Fiat guy there. Your best bet.
This board has been an asset to me, and if you don't already have tools, pick up a good set, the more you know, the better off you are.

When you get it running, let's go for a cruise. This board will be a huge asset. A few members have saved me quite a few time, one even sent a part I needed, taking no money in return. Good people.

Tools are the best way to go.. but remember when it come to buying tools, you get what you pay for. bad tools will make you want to give up. spend the extra few bucks and get the tools with free replacement warranty from a good name and a place where you can take them back with out having to mail them in.I have bought budget tools while being broke down on the side of the road only to throw them away seconds later. and be more up set that i had forgot my travel tools. now I pack them before my socks !

I look forward to it. I may be on another Duc by then, if this little orange punk doesn't start running right, but I'll make a point to attend.
