Hi guys,
I bought my first 98 ZJ a few weeks ago and I've got a list of things I'm going to need repaired by a shop. Can't do much myself since I don't have the space or the tools to do it.
Can anyone recommend a good shop that I can trust and one that performs quality work? I'm in the Fort Lauderdale area but would be willing to travel to Miami or West Palm to have a bunch of stuff taken care of at once. The most important thing to me is being able to trust who I'm talking to. I'd prefer someone who has an established business, BBB, and has reviews if possible. Will consider others. I just want a place who will take the time to fix things the right way and knows what a torque wrench is (and actually uses it). I can't stand the gorillas working at Tires Plus anymore.
Here's my running tab so far

Here's my running tab so far
- Problem with the rear diff
- New Motor & Trans Mounts
- Links & bushings replaced
- Slow oil leak, can't tell where - it's covered
- Leaky AC Condensation Drain
- New Fuel Pump
- Inspection of Power Steering Pump/Box
- Power Window 1/2 broken (tilting 90º toward engine bay when rolled down)
- Power locks for rear doors does not work
- Other electrical issues
