    Default Anybody mechanically sound near Burlington, Wisconsin?

    Well, I bought a bunch of parts for my car and don't know how to put them on. I expected to be able to find somebody fairly fast to put them on for me but that hasn't been the case. I'm willing to pay somebody from here that knows what they are doing to put my parts on for me.

    I need:
    Spark plugs
    Spark plug wires
    Headers
    Fuel filter
    Oil filter
    180* t-stat
    Coolant flush and replaced with new coolant

    If you can do a few of the parts but not all that's fine too. I don't need it all done in one shot.

    I know most of these aren't that hard to put on, but I personally don't know how to do it. I'm willing to pay somebody near me to do it for me. Give me a quote and location and I'll respond asap.

    Seems a bit high. I was more looking for an individual to do everything for me, not a shop.

    If your brother will do it all for a decent price and has tools, then yes, I'll let him do it. If everything works out the first time I'm going to be buying more in the future I'd take to him too. PM me your contact info.

    paul, he doesn't have a scanner that'd do what you want.

    not to be that guy, but just curious how it went down with my brother (if you even called him). you can PM me if you don't feel comfortable spreading the info all over the internet.

    Our schedules didn't really work out. He couldn't do it within my schedule .

    Yeh really would have loved to have him do it. But I guess I'll keep looking. I wish I had tools to do this myself!
