GN Friendly Shop in Fort Worth

[lope2000]

Just wondering if there is a good shop to take my car in to get it worked on. I don't want to take it to someone that doesn't know GNs. I usually go to Dallas to get stuff done but the drive and arranging for a ride is starting to suck. Any input would be great, also Arlington or any of the Mid-Cities would be o.k.

Thanks,
Jesse

There is an excellent shop just north of Ft. Worth around 35w & 820 west. Billy Duke is the guy to talk to & his # is 817-847-5144. He knows turbo Buicks & has a 9 second Grand National of his own. I always see around 10 Turbo Buicks at his shop everytime I'm over that way. He works days at a car dealership doing paint & body, but he's at his shop most evenings & weekends working on the Buicks. Great guy to deal with, give him a call, I'm sure he can help you!!!

Thanks, I had seen that name and number before but wasn't sure he had a shop or just like to lend a hand. Thanks again for the info.

Or Scott Whitehorn at A&S Automotive and MotorSport, he's out by I35W and Golden Triangle on the north side of town also. He's having an open house this weekend, http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=122592
I trust him with any of my cars, he's got a GN there now he's putting a 10-sec motor in. Stop by Sat if you can, directions are in the post, and have a talk with him, or call 817-431-3150.

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the tip I had a great time, but I was wondering if you knew the name of the guy in the dragster. I think I know a guy that knows him and wants to rub in his loss.

I'll find out who he is and let you know, the same guy also had a Camaro and he blew the tranny apart on the dyno earlier in the morning.

I stand to be corrected, he is not the same guy that blew the tranny in the Camaro, Baker had told me it was or I misunderstood him. The guy with the dragster is John Cloud, Scott used to work with him.
