akron oh mechanic

[ryan george]

Can anyone recommend a turbo buick mechanic in the akron oh area? I've pissed with this car all summer after installing new turbo, dp, injectors, etc and just can't get it to run right. I was told one of the things I need is a cam sensor adjustment. I just put on a casper's cam cap. I think the directions to set the cam sensor are a little more than I can do with pulling the ic, serpentine belt, etc. Just thoroughly frustrated and love this car, but I'm about ready to sell it after 15 years.

Hey, I appreciate your offer! If I make it that long, I'll be in touch. Thanks again.

Two options - post some more specific data with your car's problems and someone on the board may be able to help you, or contact these folks and they may be able to refer you to a good local TR mechanic: Weberracing.net - Weber Racing Equipment Inc.

I tried earlier in the summer! He's even worked on my car before! Just before Nationals he said he'd give my name and number to someone and have them contact me. Nada...

I told him I was posting this to you and to be aware so when you called he knew where it came from. He said "no problem"
Give him a call right now at 330-753-6609 and he is there.
I would think you would want to call him , not him call you but he is an awesome dude and honest as hell. What more could you ask for? He is willing to help. Give him a call right now.

Later and have a great holiday weekend.

Although, don't take too much of Vince Janis' time. He has my transmission now. Yes, he runs a first class operation.

 

[stack1]

Does Janis have a website?

 

[ryan george]

No he doesn't. Very easy to get ahold of and good guy to work with.

My tranny was done by vince a few years back, 1 HELL OF A TRANNY GUY!!! Then vince gave it to PARVIN for some valve springs and other engine stuff, BOTH REAL GOOD GUYS. I met them through a local guy Ray Royer.

I have personally never used Vince but have had a few cars in the shop with his trans. I can say that none of them ever had an issue and they worked quite well.

If you need to do a tranny please feel free to call me and we can look at getting him to do one for you. Our trans guys has been building these for years and has a good reputation. My personal trans has been working for years behind a high 10 car and we have been low 10's reliably.

If you would like feel free to call us. 330 807 5627
