We're brand new to SC and our 2005 Dodge Caravan has a problem with the heat/air system. Looks like we're going to need the air soon, so we need to get it fixed.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a good Dodge mechanic that is reputable and fair priced? Would prefer not to go to a dealer, as we've had issues with dealer services in the past.
Try Dave at Muckenfuss Garage 2047 North Main Street (843) 871-8632 near College Park rd. He is one of the most honest people you will ever meet. If he can't do it, he knows who can.
I'd be careful with that one, they aren't the sharpest tacks on the newer electronic stuff and that is how everything today is controlled
from fuel injectors to transmission solenoids everything has a voltage reference with a wave pattern to be deciphered and many of the indy shops don't have a clue
I know people that have had to take a vehicle back to them multiple times for the same problems they kept charging more money for but couldn't fix
if you want to find a top rate shop ask a shop who their best electronics guy is... if they point to one guy walk away as fast as you can, they should ALL be very well versed in electronics to be able to diagnose anything correctly and timely built within the last 10 years
there's anywhere from 7 to 12 PCM's ECM's and ECU's on a vehicle today... those are all different on board computers that have to be able to talk to each other in order for any of them to work correctly, if you don't know ohms watts amps and voltage references/formula's close the hood and walk away
how do I know? I've been a mechanic for nearly 30 yrs and still go to all the schools I can get because this is an ever changing evolving environment
oh, and before anyone asks no I can't take on any work... I already work too many 16 hr days thank you
I know Phillip Koontz, Anchor Auto, because I've know his family for decades and we also worked in the same shop a few years before he opened his own business... he's a good wrench and a straight up fellow
I can only speak of my personal experiences with them. Thankfully all have been good.
