Hi i am new to this forum and to Dodge. I just bought a 98 Dodge Ram quad cab 4 x 2 about 3 weeks ago and have had nothing but problems with it. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good mechanic shops in the socal area? I live in Lakewood and work in Downey area. So far I have been going to the local Dodge dealership and it seems to be getting worse. I have replaced so far:

* Speedo Cable
* Both O2 Sensors
* Water Pump
* Belt Tensioner

Still have to fix 3 random leaks that weren't there unitl the delaership started to work on it. The Odometer dosen't work and it just failed the Smog test. The truck came back as a "Gross Polluter" The guy at the Smog place told me that either the 20" rims on the truck through off the whole test or my cat is just really bad. Also my sensor fo the windshield wiper fluids keeps going off.Please help by recommending a local shop to take the truck too.


Thanks ! ! !

 

I know a good honest mechanic, and he is a friend of mine. He made my truck pass. I live and work in Bell. He is located on Florence and Corona, Abes Auto Repair and Smog. Tell him KIKI from Smith Fasteners sent you.
