Looking for VX Mechanic

[creeg]

I''l back Anita up on that one: I took mine there for the 60K checkup. It was a little expensive and its outta the way, but the security of a knowledgable mechanic was worth it.

Anita pointed me towards Sierra Isuzu for an inspection and I was very pleased with the experience there.
Mike knows the vehicle well and even took 20 minutes or so to talk to me about it and I will probably continue to go there in the future for any issues I will NEVER have!


You should ask around here too for your TOD issues first, you might just be able to save yourself a drive.

Hey thanks to you all sounds like this guy "Mike" in Monrovia is my man, I will call him...

As for a description of my problem please see the thread I posted on this site just below this one that says, "Problem with the TOD"...since I don't, "burn the bearings up" typing this will save a lot of time...

I'll give this guy a call ....Thanks Anita...I'll tell him you sent me...

BTW its 154,000+ miles on the "original" brake PADS and rotors!! This is soo unfricken believable to me.... but I swear to all its true...

Even this problem seem to me to be minor...been driving it this way for a couple of weeks now...

Thanks again

John

Hello, I'm new to the boards-
I just scheduled an apt with Mike to look at my 99 VX...
I'm up to about 100K miles and the power steering is leaking pretty badly... Among other things my VX is pretty beat up, having made numerous trips to death valley and the mojave from LA. I figure its time to drop some money on a real mechanic and get my beloved VX checked out. Besides the Power Steering the ABS light has been on for some time...
Thanks Anita for the tip on Mike- I look forward to meeting him tomorrow.
Best,
Jonathan

Mike is the Man.

Just know beforehand that Mike will NEVER recommend anything aftermarket. And yes, you can bring Isuzu parts you get from other sources (like Merlin) and he'll install them. You may want to get prices from Merlin and have the dealership sell them to you at the same price. Worth trying...
