There are two thing you can do to locate a local competent Ford mechanic: If you are in a local EFV8 Club Regional Group, ask your fellow members for their recommendations. Look in the national roster for others in the same area where you live. You will be able to determine this by looking at their mail zip codes. Call these individuals to see if they know of any good local mechanics. Sometimes you might even find someone who is capable of and will do the work himself for a reasonable fee.

Look at the left side of this page and click on Regional Club Directory to find a Regional Group near you.

If you are a current member, the National Roster is available online. Click on Membership from left memu and then create a UserID and password (you will need your membership card information) and once logged in, you can view both the Roster and the most current issue of the V-8 TIMES.

Many times, a response to a request such as yours will be from a V8er who is very willing to help, but is lacking on practical experience. Prepare yourself for that event with book learning, then learn the skinned knuckles stuff together. Keep your beer cooler on the ready, and you'll make a new friend!
