Looking for Car Repair
 
Got a friend lives central Phoenix with a 99 Lincoln Towncar. Went in for wheel alignment and came out with estimate of $4000 plus for parts needed before it can be aligned from Fiesta Ford Lincoln
Anyone here know of a better/more reasonable place to take the car for the needed parts which must include shocks/ball joints/wheel bearings/etc???
I have suggested going first to Network Alignment to get second opinion on parts.

Thanks in advance

Network is always a good place. Not much cheaper than a dealer, but the labor rate is lower.

Sunburst Automotive, 67th Avenue and Greenway. Ask for Kevin.

Great luck with him, prices are great, repairs and parts top quality.

I've taken 3 cars to Wilhelm's (83rd & Grand) in the last month.
Good folks. Was over there this AM and mentioned your friend's
Lincoln. Shaun is a front-end man. Being in business since 1925
speaks for itself.

I'll bet Jeff Classic would be able to do all the work needed, before an alignment. He'd give first class work and could maybe use the income.

Thanks everyone. I have forwarded your suggestions. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
Karl, Jeff is a bit incapacitated right now after another spinal neck surgery and all of this repair is under car, on your back work.

BobB, didn't know Jeff had gone under the knife again. I can certainly relate to the difficulity he must have, working flat on his back. With the nifty piece of titanium I have holding my neck together, I too, have a nasty time holding my head up when I'm flat on my back. Before I got my lift, I always used a couple old bath towels, rolled up and taped together, for a work pillow to support my knoggin. Hope he gets well soon and that the surgery is successful.

Mikie? Sunburst?

Bob the 99 towncar doesn't have shocks it has air bag suspension, this is expensive at the dealership. the upper and lower BJ's are serviceable with aftermarket parts.

here is where he should get the airbags...
