Howdy, all. Love this site and now I have a question. Now that the extended warranty on my '97 Disco (5-speed) has run out, I'm thinking about finding a dependable mechanic (who knows Discos) rather than going to my dealer. Any recommendations? I live in SE Mass, but am willing to travel for the right guy (or gal!). Do such people really exist or is it usually better to stick with the dealership folks? Thanks for any advice... |

Contact Alan Elliott, Cityside Garage www.citysidegarage.com 508 429 4336 He is in Holliston. There is or was a place in Plymouth (?Reimels) that specialized in Series...unsure of their involvement in current vehicles |

Thanks for that, Chris. Have you used either of them before? How do they compare with Hanover? |

Rich, Ah ha, I'm glad you asked this question! I have a guy for you - Gary Bissanette at Jim's Automotive in Hanover, right across from McGee Toyota and not far from the Hanover dealership. He is a great mechanic with fair prices and a true Rover fanatic. He recently restored his Series IIA Military Lightweight just like my brother's, and has a great rep with SE Mass Rover owners in general. He just did my panhard rod bushings on my "Deathsco" because I don't have a press, and he did a ton of other little things for me as well. Give him a try, and tell him Chuck McGovern sent ya... Ride On, Chuckster |
