RESTORATIONS ARE RARE!

LAST FEW REMAIN TO BE RESERVED

I NEED THE TIME TO SOURCE AND DEVELOP MORE PARTS AND KITS

I search for one or two owner Jeep Grand Wagoneers and worked meticulously to place them in good, appreciative homes. I have a longstanding love for the original luxury sport utility and through my years of experience know what to look for and where to look for it.

I am a stickler for detail so I spend some considerable time making sure that all trim, etc. is in place and original. Mechanically each car is carefully checked and parts are replaced with originals. Gaskets and seals replaced, transmission serviced, everything in top shape.   Remember that although mileage is a good general indicator it is NOT the deciding factor. We have seen Grand Wagoneers with 46,000 miles in awful shape and ones with 165,000 miles in great shape. Each vehicle has a unique history. That's why backstory is very important to me. I need to know how well the GW was maintained. I would not offer a vehicle that was not in great reliable condition. Please feel free to contact me with your comments and/or specific requests.  I do not buy at auctions.

We use Paypal for convenient deposits and all payments

Every day I get 30-50 emails from people all over the world who love Grand Wagoneers. GREAT STORIES.

Hopefully I have made almost all of them happier with either the parts they sought, the advice they badly needed or the car of their dreams without the hassles of actually restoring one "blindly".

I enjoy the people I buy them from almost as much as I enjoy seeing the happy faces driving away or getting the email that says that my suggestion worked for them.

Occasionally I get someone who will never be happy no matter what. I am sorry that a perfect world doesn't exist for these people... it certainly doesn't for anyone else. These unhappy people only briefly make me wonder why I do this until I look at all the happy Grand Wagoneer lovers out there who appreciate what I am doing and recognize what is involved... and what the limitations are.

A WORD ABOUT LOCAL MECHANICS

I DEPEND ON MECHANICS. I RELY ON THEIR HONESTY AS MUCH AS THEIR EXPERTISE. SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE MECHANICS. BUT SOME MECHANICS GET CARRIED AWAY WITH YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND CAN EASILY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU.

FIRST, THEY MAY NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH GRAND WAGONEERS MAY BE LIMITED TO NONE. WE SEE THE SAME RECURRING PROBLEMS EVERY DAY AND KNOW WHERE TO LOOK. SECOND, THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GET THE PARTS THAT MAY BE NEEDED. WE HAVE DEVELOPED SOURCES FOR MOST OF THE PARTS WE NEED REGULARLY. IF WE CAN GET THEM, WE OFFER THEM TO YOU ON THE PARTS PAGE AND THE ACCESSORIES PAGE. THIRD, AND WORST, IS WHEN THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU BY CHARGING YOU EXORBITANT RATES FOR PARTS AND LABOR. I SEE THIS ALMOST EVERY DAY AND HATE WHEN SOMEONE CALLS ME AND TELLS ME THAT THEIR MECHANIC CHARGED THEM SOME ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNT TO DO THE BASIC WORK.

This is why our parts come with Schematics and instructions. Our kits include tools, tricks, and even latex gloves. Everything you need to proudly fix or replace most parts Yourself.

THERE ARE BOOKS THAT ARE ACCEPTED BY THE INDUSTRY THAT SET THE TIMES ALLOWED FOR EVERY TYPE OF REPAIR. THESE RATES ALLOW THE MECHANIC PROFIT AS WELL AS ALLOW FOR ANY UNFORSEEN COMPLICATIONS. BUT INVARIABLY I FIND THAT YOU ARE BEING CHARGED MUCH HIGHER RATES AND PRICES THAN INDUSTRY STANDARD. I CAUTION YOU TO CONSULT THE RATES ON THE INTERNET AND INVESTIGATE PARTS PRICES. I AM HERE TO HELP GENERALLY ALL MY CUSTOMERS AFTER THEY TAKE THEIR GRAND WAGONEER HOME. I WILL TRY TO ASSIST THE REST OF YOU TOO IF THE BURDEN IS TOO GREAT.

Keep your Grand Wagoneer on the road and show your pride.
