Soon-to-be Marauder owner, few questions

[martyo]

Get Claude to do your gear and I can send you a tune in a handheld or vie e-mail (if you have a tuner) if your mods are straight forward. Otherwise find a reason to come to Georgia and we can take care of your car from soup to nuts.

Well, sounds like he's a pretty reputable guy. Does anyone know where exactly in Florida he is? If he's not too far away, I might have to pay him a visit.

I would love to come up to GA and put my car (errr, future car I should say...1 week away!) in your shop and get it all done there, Martyo. However, the wallet isn't affordin it at the moment. But trust me, I've already looked into givin you a holler when the time for a tune comes around

Claude Babineau ( Carfixer) lives in Fort Meyers. He's a Master Teck from Ford & now he's a Director of service and a local dealer in the area. He does side jobs now and then.

Thanks for the info, Cobra. I'll check him out in addition to Herb Rogers that did the work on Fruit Punch.

[Hotrauder]

Herb is proving to be a hard man to get a hold of. Called a few different times to see if he's in the shop, twice he hasn't been there, another time he was at work but not on the property at the time. Woman on the phone said people usually don't get to talk to the technicians...hmph, well then. Last thing I wanna do is show up and have him be super busy and not be able to talk. What I've been tryin to do is talk to him on the phone and set up a time that would be best to come in and talk with him personally. Guess I'll keep tryin...

HotRaud,

Calling is a good idea to determine he is there. He goes to lunch about 11:30 AM for an hour. He works only when they have tranny work. He is not a grease monkey doing $12.00 oil changes and he does not work by the hour so he will not be hanging around if he is not busy. He is not going to talk on the phone when he is ass deep in a transmission, however, he will talk if you go over. His stall is the last on the right as you walk down the shop. Do it. Introduce yourself to Herb. He is a good guy. Drive around to the other end of the service area and walk into the back of the shop and he is the first on the left. He has serviced all my cars while I have visited and watched and I have done the same with all of the techs. He will be happy to talk with you. Claude (carfixer here) did a lot of work on the FruitPunch including both Trilogy installs, big brakes, rear end and others. He is a personal friend and a total straight arrow. It would be worth a drive to Ft. Myers just to meet him. He knows Marauders as well as anyone as he had one of the nicest ever. The Stooges, Claude, Chuck and Mark did a truckload of Trilogy installs over the years. Man up, you know the lady in the office is the lady in the office. She is not doing the work. I have never let anyone touch my car when I wasn't there. I would trust Herb or Claude with my life but I want to learn and they are fun friends. The other guys, they are nice, sure, but I want to know what they are actually doing. If I can't go in the shop, my car doesn't either. Dennis

Don't worry, I'm on the same page as you. After finally pryin an answer out of that desk lady, I finally found out that he'll be back in Monday, most likely early in the day. I'm gonna try and go stop in Monday in the very beginnin of the day before he gets busy.

Only reason I haven't gone in yet is because I didn't wanna bother him while he was busy workin (at least I wouldn't want to be bothered if I was him) or he hasn't been in the shop when I called. Now that I have a straight answer about his schedule, a much anticipated visit with him will be happenin. As much as you talk him up, I am lookin forward to it. I'll probably give a vist/call to Claude as well. Good to know there are a lot of knowledgeable people in the surrounding area.

Hey another Central Florida Marauder! I actually worked at the Staples there in Plant city for a few months towards the end of 2013 (lived in Lakeland at the time). I'm back being happy in Orlando now though.
