Brads Custom Auto in Lake City

[SSinfull]

Just wondering if anyone can vouch for these guys. I'm thinking about having them change my pulley but they use a "press" to get the pulley off.... To my knowledge, you risk damaging the blower snout when removing the pulley in this fashion so im a little leary of taking my car there.

Any testimonials would be great!

Good shop and one of the few in the area that specializes in Corvettes and Mustangs and will even bolt on an aftermarket item. Many Open Track guys use them for numerous services.
Not cheap though but done right.

pulley removal

hey SSINFUL,
ive been to Brads many times in fact they were the ones who installed my Vortech Blower. They know what there doing, one of the few shops around that know how to modify and work on Mustangs. You can trust them, besides, if you take it to any shop and they do work and something goes wrong, it would be there responsibility, but Brad would take care of you anyways. Fullon.

Brad's is a great shop. Highly recommended. The only knock I've ever heard against them is that they are difficult to get your car into because they're so busy.

Brad's a good guy, dean knows quite a bit of ****, they are really helpful whenever I have any questions, patient too. I've seen some of their work done and it's good ****. I have a lot of faith in ther chassiwork and welding.

Brads is a great place. the only place that works on my car. you definitely get what you pay for there. they're very busy though so be prepared to wait a little longer.

I need to change my location. I live Kirkland now but used to live near Silver lake near mariner high school.

 

[SSinfull]

Sounds good to me,

I live in Everett as well as several people here. We should plan a local Gathering this spring somewhere!

 

[dTas95GT]

there are meetings every Saturday night in Bothell.

 

[SSinfull]

Where at in Bothell?

 

[dTas95GT]

i'm suprised you haven't already heard about it. there are threads all over this forum about the BurgerMaster in Bothell.

you take exit 26 off of I-405 and head east for about a mile or so and the Burger Master will be on your left. every Saturday night at 9pm, a bunch of car enthusiasts meet there. there's a good sized Mustang turnout every weekend.

although i don't know about this weekend. it sounds like a bunch of Stangs are headed down to Vancouver for the big meet there.

 

[SSinfull]

Coool,

I will drive by and check out the scene,

Maybe I will drive my Vette

Brads is great.. enuff said..

No shop better, in my opinion. They do great work and they're willing to help you with anything or answer any questions you have, even if they aren't getting paid for it. Upstanding guys, knowledgable as hell, and they do killer work. I wouldn't take my car anywhere but there. I'm willing to pay more (not that they're more expensive, though) to have local guys like them do my work or get my parts just because they've helped me so many times in the past.

Great shop. They're more friendly than Bloods, that's for sure.

They installed my pulleys , no problems so far, and they also helped me install my pro 5.0 shifter....no charge!

Has anyone here used the available puller/installer kits?

I question their ability to press the pulley back on. I've used presses many times to change pulleys without harm. Info appreciated.

When I changed my blower pulley last time, I used a 3 prong puller with a LITTLE heat on the old pulley. No sweat.
