The best part about this place is Alex knows diesel ... like Bo knows football .... EVERYTHING ! Have a 1984 190D that had a bad glow plug ... I could tell .... hard starting.
Drive to 10th Street in Old Pittsburg ... go into this dark dank repair shop, right out of the 50's, .... parts n'cars n'fenders n'engines scattered around the shop .... was waiting for James Dean to walk out of the back room .... and I head for what looks like the office .... papers, manuals, office equipment piled on desks .... and there you find Alex.
So I introduce myself, we talk for moment about the potential problem, and without saying another word, he roots thru the set of drawers at his desk pulling out handfuls of whatever and finally after going thru three drawers worth reaches way in back of a drawer and finds a glow plug.Great inventory system!
He doesn't say a word, walks out to the ca with a test lightr, motions me to lift the hood, I do so, he opens up a relay that sends signal to the glow plugs, test all four of them, finds the dead plug, calls his mechanic who pulls out the old one and puts in the new one takes me back to the office, makes out an invoice ... $20 bucks for labor $15 for the glow plug .... and we're done!
Then I get the tour of the "yard" in back, full of old Mercedes diesels and BMW's just waiting to be brought back to life. Classics from the 70's and 80's. ....
After talking for a good part of a half hour I can assure you .... this guy knows diesels like nobody I'ver ever run into around here.
It may be funky .... but this guy knows his stuff and you don't pay and arm and a leg to get you diesel diagnosed and fixed.
I'll be back .....
