Anyone here know of any good mechanics that know their AWD's and turbo systems in Ottawa or surrounding areas?

Ouch... that's a pretty tall order man. Sorry I can't help. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

what are your issues,is it a talon/eclipse?

Stealth. It suddenly started running like crap in the fall. It runs, but is WAY down on power, poor acceleration etc.. It doesn't stall or run rough, and it idles fine. I have heard that the IC's can go on them, especially with 180,000 kms on it, but I fear it is one of the turbos. I really don't know much about turbo-charged systems. Just an 'ol carburator guy.

Can't wait to see the bill for this one.

Well.. if you aren't in too much of a rush I can hook you up with my bro-in-law.

He used to work at Surgenors and is a master mechanic.

He's now a firefighter so he has a business on the side doing car repair. His prices are pretty good and he does great work.

I don't know how much experience he has with turbo and AWD systems though. I would personally have no problems bringing my car to him in your situation, but I didn't want to give you his name right away. I can give you his name & number if you want though. Give him a call, talk to him, see if you feel comfortable.

Like I said though, he's a fireman so he can't always get things done the next day. It kind of has to work around his schedule. He's in Cumberland so it's a bit of a treck, but if you can get the car to him I'm sure it'll be worth your while.

Hit me up with a PM if you're interested [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

I'm NEVER in much of a rush. It's probably not going anywhere 'till the spring thaw now...garage has done it's annual frost heave automatic door lock.

Thanks JoryO, I'll PM ya right away.
