Title: Mobile Mechanic
Post by: Lifes2short4nofun on May 13, 2018, 05:59:23 PM
I have an odd request.  I don't have the time to take my bus somewhere with experience on buses (as there isn't one close), to have it gone through mechanically.  I am not having any issues I need addressed, except I'd like the coolant changed, but I would like to pay money to have someone with extensive experience go all through my bus mechanically to make sure there are not any issues needing addressed.  I am in Jackson Mississippi.  Is there anyone any of y'all know that travels and would do this?

Cline Tours did do outside work on buses if he is not doing it any longer he can tell of someone in your area

Try finding a charter bus company near you and call them and find out who does their maintenance. If it's done out of house they might lead you to a good bus mechanic that might actually have some two stroke experience. Or take it to a bus rally :) one of us could spend some time combing through it :)

I was hoping to go the one this weekend in Hilton Head, but time is not on my side.  I am 34 and a executive with a company so it is hard for me to get more then a day off.

I understand you want someone to travel to you but I'm about 5hrs from you.  I take mine to a bus mechanic just outside of Auburn AL.  He has a checklist and goes from bumper to bumper.  I was very happy with his service.  The only issue is that he's crazy busy so it may take a bit longer to complete.  If you are interested, just send me a message and I will link you two up.

Any recommendation on how to get a hold of him?

I messaged him on Facebook, ( I think, I don't fully know how to use Facebook) and haven't heard back,  I don't see a number on his web site.

I'm 35 and own my own company and have two little girls, so I understand. But Lifes2short4nofun so take some time to get to know your bus or you'll be stranded someday with a mechanical issue and no one nearby to help you solve it. We've fulltimed for almost 9 years and converted two coaches in that time and travel 15,000 miles a year in our coach and I can tell you without a doubt, these coaches are not like cars you can have towed to the nearest mechanic. If you are planning on actually using your coach, I would seriously become familiar with it, it's idiosyncrasies and have some basic two stroke and troubleshooting knowledge.

My email address is on my website.   Scott@busgreasemonkey.com

I never got any face book message so maybe it went to a different scott crosby. 

317 965 1730 is my cell but I don't answer it a lot since my hands are usually dirty or I'm busy :)  text and email is preferred communication as the record of notes helps greatly.
