I like Erol's too

[QUOTE=DESKJS]In the Nashville area I would highly recommend using Erol's Autobahn in west Nashville

Yep. I love that place. I'm not rich and drive old diesel's but I got a good feeling from them. Stories ...

I went in to buy parts one day. I asked for old 300Ds for sale. They had one and said make offer. I jumpe started it , test drove it , offered half of what i could spring for at time on a 80 300CD Rusty as hell, $250. Erol's cashier (sorry dont recall name) said to erol, "Well we might as well give it away" . They seriously thought about it for a minute then Erol left it up to cashier. He charged me $500 and i drove it home. Still drive it now. There is a hole in back floor boord but it drives. Only had to tow it twice -- Fuel strainer in tank completely clogged, Alt pully froze .

Another one, Took steering knucle in to have new ball joit pressed in, They charged my $40.00 including the balljoint and tax. Did it in 10 minutes. Also, they gave my kids and I, 2 large pizzas to take home they had left over from lunch.
Breakdown , $20 for 2 large Pizzas, $30 ball joint ordered online or at AZone = $50.00
So I made $10.00 going to them and got job done in 15 minutes. Everyone loves these guys. Butch knows his diesel stuff.

cheers
