Shout out to Auto & Truck Services of Birmingham AL.
They gave my truck its 100K mile patdown along with retooling the brakes and the ignition. Post-tune-up truck drives like a dream, possibly better than it did out of the box. [Truck Mileage]
In this age of plastic parts and computer components, the shop gives off the reassuring air of a place that knows how to take a car apart and put it back together. Their web address is ww.theartofrepair.com.
The shop was appalled at the dirt level on the truck and refused to return it in that condition. They washed the outside & touched up front area inside. They were surprised to hear that it had only taken two years to get in that state. No, I did not recognize my truck.
No deal with the vendor. Simply excited to find people who are good at their jobs.
And the truck is soooo shiny.

Thanks for tip about a local company. I could swear autos know when they’re clean and shiny, as I’m sure my 2009 Honda Accord knows when it has had a spa day, and runs better. Could be my imagine? MM
