Rust in engine
#8

Hey Gurus, thanks for the encouragement while our classic Newell was at The Bus Grease Monkey. For those of you not familiar with them, they are a first rate shop, allowing you to stay in your coach during repairs, which in our case was over 12 days. Scott initially asks for a wish list, and then gets to work verifying issues. He and his crew start from the wheels up with a complete steering and suspension check, followed by total brake , hub .and bearing inspection. This gives the shop a jump on ordering any steering, suspension, shock , drums, rotors, air bags  etc. It made sense to have multiple things replaced while the coach was apart, to save on duplication of labor costs.
They were excellent on explaining my options, along with costs. Friday is "settleup" day. You pay for work completed and parts received. This avoids sticker shock of a huge final bill. At no time are you given the "sunshine treatment" having your coach put outside to make way for another client. When Bus Grease Monkey starts on your coach, you are the only customer at that time.
If you watched the Utube video he posted on our "Hippie Bus" you will notice he could have sold us on rebuilding the radiator, but chose to pull the rad, remove the tanks, and use cleaners and rod out the core by hand. He saved us a lot of cash by doing that.
In short, we have nothing but good things to say about our experience with Scott Crosby. It was certainly worth the 12 weeks waiting for an appointment
