Need some suggestions for good shops in the area to diagnose what the knock is in my engine, and fix whatever necessary to get my car back on the road.

I dont have the time to do it myself since im deploying for a third time.

Im open to anything at this point...

If unfamiliar of what im talking about heres my original thread

I don't know of any in the Killeen area. I can think of Henderson Performance in New Braunfels, American Racing Technology in Buda, or possibly Austin Corvette in Austin. They have all worked on my car.

HKE, Houston, builder

JMBLOWNWS6

Houston and Dallas both have alot of well known shops. Issue is gonna be actually getting the car there- Im having to borrow a trailer and apparently it doesnt have functioning lights.

If anyone has a car hauler Id be willing to pay to use it.

79 Bullet

try U-Haul I recently rented both and they had very reasonably rates!

I seriously doubt ill be able to get my car on those uhaul trailers.

This is such a freaking headache

You can but I'd advise against it. It's a lot of trouble and it takes multiple people to keep it from dragging.

Why don't you get a rollback over there and have them take it to a shop?

u haul and some wood youll be fine. i try to back the trailer up to a slanted drivway and takes alot of the angle out

When you say u haul- you mean a trailer or those ghetto 2 wheel dolly things

I've put mine on a uhaul trailer. It's a pain to get on and off but it's doable. How far are you going to tow it?

From austin to dallas- so like 300 miles or so

youll be fine load it up and go
