Vancouver mechanic recommendations?

Post by kasza »

Hi all,
After years of lusting over 311's I just pulled the trigger on one. It's a California car, and seems to have been restored nicely overall, however I'd like to get it to a good mechanic asap to make sure everything is in proper order.

If anyone has a mechanic they can recommend based near Vancouver, BC that's honest, reasonable, and most importantly has experience with 311's, it would surely be appreciated.

BTW - if there are any local roadster meet ups in BC / upstate Washington this summer I hope to make it out!

Welcome!

Can’t help with the mechanic recommendations as I’m on the other coast, but I’m sure someone out West will chime in.
BTW: Having an ‘ole roadster find its way back here to the site is kind of like seeing an old friend again 🙂
You found a very nice little 2000 there!

Congrats, nice looking car. I'm in vancover as well, but do my own work so dont know of a mechanic to recommend apart from a service shop that I used for my fleet vehicles.

Anyways, welcome.

Welcome to the fray!
Nice car, I'm afraid I'm in the same boat as D P and do my own work. Don't know of any shops for the roadster for regular maintenance....maybe check with the local 510 crowd?

Cheers

Welcome!
I’m in the same bat as the others; I do my own tinkering.
Where are you in the lower mainland?

Sharp looking 68! Look up Ross Mullen from Sports Imports. He is in White Rock and a mecca of parts and information. He likely knows someone that he could point you at...
